Effect of surgical treatment on hypertension in Cushing's syndrome.

abstract：:The syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME) is characterized by persistent hypertension and hypokalemia, which is caused by impaired inactivation of cortisol (F) to cortisone (E). The thyroid hormone has been known to influence the F to E conversion leading to efficacious inactivation of F into E. However,...
