Thyroid function was assessed by total serum thyroxine, free thyroxine index and serum triiodothyronine immediately prior to intravenous pyelography in 105 female outpatients. The thyroid function tests were repeated two months later. Although all three parameters showed a statistically significant mean rise, the changes were small and not clinically significant. Two patients from the study population with a past history of thyrotoxicosis had a transient elevation in serum triiodothyronine but neither patient developed clinical features of hyperthyroidism.
Adrenal venography and adrenal venous blood sampling for aldosterone and cortisol estimations have been attempted in eight patients with primary aldosteronism. The techniques accurately predicted the location of the aldosterone secreting tumour in all six patients in whom an adrenal vein cannulation was possible. The techniques are useful in the surgical management of solitary adrenal adenomas and are important in the choice of optimal therapy for the variety of disorders presenting as primary aldosteronism.
