Pheochromocytoma. Little pakostnitsa with big nasty.

Sometimes, a person familiar to you, suddenly becomes nervous, irritable, even aggressive. The reason for that could be a dozen reasons. But today we will talk about a small tumor of the adrenal glands. Or intelligently pheochromocytoma. By the way, the picture is this dirty trick in all its glory.





So. What is a pheochromocytoma. Skopipastil with pedivikii. I hope it is true. If there are specialists, correct.
Pheochromocytoma - hormonally active tumor chromaffin cells sympathoadrenal system or adrenal extraadrenal localization, secrete large amounts of catecholamines. Disease refers to tumors (benign or malignant) and APUD-system often is one of the components of the syndrome of multiple endocrine neoplasia (usually in this case is bilateral pheochromocytoma) [



This infection by just saying throws adrenaline into the blood, which leads to all sorts of bad consequences. There, in the wiki is described in more clever tongue. Excessive production of catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine).



Immediately and the clinical picture.
Characterized by crises with a sharp increase in blood pressure in combination with neuro-psychiatric, endocrine-metabolic, gastrointestinal and hematological symptoms (paroxysmal form of the disease). During an attack reminiscent of the clinic symptoms of sympathetic-adrenal crisis: there is a feeling of fear, anxiety, tremors, fever, pale skin, headache, pain behind the breastbone, in the heart, tachycardia, arrythmia, nausea, vomiting, fever, sweating, dry mouth. In the blood - leukocytosis, lymphocytosis, eosinophilia, hyperglycaemia. The attack ends polyuria. The duration of a crisis from several minutes to several hours. The crisis may be complicated by retinal hemorrhage, stroke, pulmonary edema. Seizures occur, as a rule, suddenly and can be triggered by emotional stress, physical stress, palpation of the tumor, a sharp change in body position. When a stable form of the disease is marked consistently high arterial hypertension, possible violations of renal function, changes in the fundus. Observed an increase in irritability, mood lability, fatigue, headache. When a malignant tumor - feohromoblastomy - frequent weight loss, abdominal pain. Perhaps the development of diabetes. In order to carry out diagnostic ultrasound examination of the adrenal glands, CT, retropnevmoperitoneum (topical diagnostics), determine the urinary excretion (within a day or three-hour urine sample collected after the attack) catecholamines and their metabolites: epinephrine, norepinephrine, vanillylmandelic acid, conduct pharmacological tests histamine or tropafenom.



Why am I all drove. Tonight I found this dirty trick. But we found later. I had time to commit follies, quarreled with friends, throwing almost out of the blue, for no reason, in employee hot pan. I am 29 years old. Not an athlete, but also substances and alcohol do not dabble. Maximum injury nanoshu smoking 1 pack for 3 days. About a year ago I noticed that periodically became nervous and aggressive. Further-more. Tonight was taken to the intensive care unit with tachycardia 182 strike. After all the surveys found that bastard. I do not think I'm not complaining. No. Friends I'll give, the more real friends hard to lose. The reputation of calm and balanced, too. I just want to appeal to all the inhabitants of chips. Take care of your health! Do not be lazy to go to the doctor.
