Ninja Nerds!
In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Pheochromocytoma. We will discuss the pathophysiology, focusing on the tumor of the adrenal medulla that produces excessive catecholamines, leading to episodes of hypertension, palpitations, and sweating. The lecture will include a discussion on the clinical manifestations, such as headache, palpitations, and diaphoresis, often triggered by certain activities or medications. The digital presentation will begin with the diagnostic approach, highlighting the importance of measuring plasma free metanephrines or urinary catecholamines and imaging studies to locate the tumor. Finally, we will review management strategies for Pheochromocytoma, emphasizing surgical removal of the tumor and preoperative management with alpha and beta-blockers to control hypertension. Enjoy the lecture and support us below!

There are studies out that state you can have a pheo without high blood pressure and palpitations

for diagnotics, if the MAO inhibitors prevent formation of normetanephrine and metanephrines, wont these levels be decreased in this case. and what further tools could we measure before we check CT/MRI?

I just stumbled across this word, googled it and cane to this vudeo. It's been about 10 years with no answers. Things are getting worse and episodes more frequent. Thing is UT only happens when weather changes and the heat comes. Yesterday I was back in the ER. Everything was normal according to them, but now they're referring me to a cardiologist for a heart monitor vest to see what my heart does when these episodes occur. So I wonder if I have this and if its in the aorta and not the kidneys. How do they find this? BP was 177/122 last month at one ER visit (there were 2). Yesterday was 190/182 with no answers!!!!
