METHOD OF DIAGNOSING SYMPTOMATIC ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN PATIENTS WITH ADRENAL INCIDENTALOMAS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B10/00 A61B5/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to endocrinology, cardiology and therapy. In order to diagnose symptomatic arterial hypertension in patients with adrenal incidentalomas determined are: concentration of hormones in blood and their metabolites in urine, content of potassium and sodium, clinical symptoms of hormonal activity of tumour, age, sex, duration of observation, localisation and size of incidentaloma, index of body weight, characteristic of obesity, disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, trophic skin disorders, sexual disorders, neuromuscular syndrome, systolic and diastolic arterial pressure, heart rate, frequency of hypertonic crisis and its emotional tinge, affection of cardio-vascular system, eyes, kidneys, content of cholesterol, level of cortosol, coefficient of circadian rhythm of cortrisol production, concentration of aldosterone, index aldosterone/rennin, plasma rennin activity, presence of nicturia, content of catecholamines in urine, maximal specific weight of urine, day diuresis, presence of polypsia. If absolute error value obtained with application of multilayer perceptron is from 0 to 0.4999, symptomatic arterial hypertension of adrenal genesis is diagnosed. If absolute error value is larger or equals 0.5, essential arterial hypertension is diagnosed.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to diagnose symptomatic arterial hypertension in patients with adrenal incidentalomas.
