Percutaneous Venous Blood Sampling in Endocrine Diseases

by Renan Uflacker, Reingard Sörensen

Overview

The emergence of selective venous blood sampling has drama-
tically improvedthe diagnosis of many endocrine diseases.
Percutaneous Venous Blood Samplingin Endocrine Diseases is the first comprehensive text on current techniques for diag-
nosing endocrine diseases employing radiologic techniques of percutaneous venous catheterization. This practical guide discusses anatomical details, procedural techniques, and clinical implications.

Editorial Reviews

A practical guide for physicians to the diagnosis of endocrine disease using the radiologic technique of percutaneous blood sampling for hormone assay, which allows not only an identification of the condition, but also a precise localization of the hormone-producing lesion and its clinical significance. Among the topics are anatomical data, clinical problems relating to the diagnosis, patient preparation, blood sampling techniques, handling the sample, and interpreting the laboratory data.
