HCG-responsive aldosteronoma with transient secretion during pregnancy confirmed through HCG-stimulated adrenal venous sampling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Primary aldosteronism can be regulated by the ectopic expression of G-protein coupled receptors in aldosteronomas or bilateral hyperplasias. We report a rare case of a young woman in whom 2 pregnancies were complicated by pre-eclampsia and 1 miscarriage. The transient primary aldosteronism during pregnancies suggested the possibility of HCG stimulated aberrant adrenal expression of LHCG receptor in her adrenal tissues. This was supported by increased aldosterone and renin suppression during 5-day HCG stimulation test outside of pregnancy. Following a second 5-day HCG stimulation test, bilateral simultaneous adrenal vein sampling identified a lateralized source of aldosterone from an 8 mm right adrenal nodule. A right laparoscopic adrenalectomy resulted in clinical and biochemical cure and allowed a further uneventful pregnancy a few years later. This case illustrates the indication to investigate for potential primary aldosteronism in woman with transient hypertension during pregnancy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
