What department does pheochromocytoma hang

summary

Sometimes my blood pressure rises suddenly, accompanied by headache and sweating. I'm very worried. Today I went to the hospital for an examination and said that I was caused by pheochromocytoma. Here I'd like to popularize the pheochromocytoma department for people with the same disease.

What department does pheochromocytoma hang

First, pheochromocytoma is a tumor originated from chromaffin tissue of neuroectoderm, which mainly secretes catecholamine. According to whether the tumor comes from sympathetic nerve or parasympathetic nerve, paraganglioma can be divided into parasympathetic paraganglioma and sympathetic paraganglioma. This disease can be examined in internal medicine.

Second, some patients may suffer from serious heart, brain and kidney damage due to long-term hypertension or crisis due to sudden severe hypertension, which is life-threatening. However, if timely and early diagnosis and treatment can be obtained, it is a curable secondary hypertension.

Third, the prevalence of pheochromocytoma in patients with hypertension was 0.05% - 0.2%, and the peak incidence was 20-50 years old. Pheochromocytoma is located in the adrenal gland in 80% - 90% of cases, and most of them are unilateral; extraadrenal tumors are mainly located outside the peritoneum and beside the abdominal aorta. More benign, malignant accounted for 10%, the disease can also be linked to oncology to do a detailed examination.
