Addison's disease (AD) is the most common endocrine manifestation of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), but it remains a very rare complication of the syndrome. It is caused by adrenal venous thrombosis and consequent hemorrhagic infarction or by spontaneous (without thrombosis) adrenal hemorrhage, usually occurring after surgery or anticoagulant therapy.

The association of Cardiovascular Health (CVH; defined by the American Heart Association by assigning points for health-related behavioral and clinical factors) with endothelial and erectile dysfunction has not been reported, although endothelial and erectile dysfunction have been associated with components of CVH.

Black men are disproportionately burdened by hypertension and prostate cancer (PCa), and some cohorts suggest hypertension is associated with increased PCa risk. We investigated the association of hypertension and antihypertensive use with total (N = 889; 290 Black, 599 White) and fatal (N = 127; 42 Black, 85 White) PCa risk in 6658 (1578 Black, 5080 White) men in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.

The associations of nocturia with hypertension and anti-hypertensive agents (AHTs) remain to be validated.

This cross-sectional study examined whether blood pressure and/or frequently used classes of AHTs had consistent associations with nocturia.

Recently, studies have shown that the presence of nocturia may not be a benign condition and related with systemic illness and mortality. Elevated blood pressure (BP) was another factor related with nocturia.

To examine the effects and moderators of exercise effects on cardiometabolic outcomes in men with prostate cancer previously or currently undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

Seven trials including 560 patients were examined.

Although the association between blood pressure, serum lipids and cancer risk has been investigated, the results are controversial. The aim of this literature review was to examine the epidemiological evidence and provide overview of the association between blood pressure, serum lipids and cancer risk.

Background and Objectives: To determine changes in the blood pressure (BP) and pulse rate (PR) before and after the administration of mirabegron in real-world clinical practice for patients with overactive bladder (OAB).

We aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for nephrectomy-related hypertension (NR-HT) in patients with renal tumors who underwent partial nephrectomy (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN).

A retrospective cross-sectional follow-up survey of postoperative home blood pressure (BP) and defined daily dose (DDD) of antihypertensive medications was conducted in patients with renal tumors who underwent PN (210 patients) or RN (120 patients), and they were compared.

Epidemiological studies show an association of increased BMI with increased risk of kidney stone formation in adults. We conducted a population-based pediatric study to examine the epidemiology of nephrolithiasis in the Israeli pediatric population during a 30-year period, and to examine BMI distribution during the same period.

Sunitinib, used widely in metastatic renal cell carcinoma, can result in hypertension, left ventricular dysfunction, and heart failure. However, the relationships between vascular function and cardiac dysfunction with sunitinib are poorly understood.

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) in isolation or in conjunction with middle aortic syndrome (MAS), are important vascular causes of childhood hypertension. Few longitudinal studies have assessed the risk of surgical or endovascular intervention, and outcomes by etiology or extent of vascular disease.

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is commonly given to men with prostate cancer. Both its benefits as well as its adverse effects are a direct consequence of sex steroid withdrawal. While ADT improves oncologic outcomes in appropriately selected men, it is associated with adverse effects, including accelerated bone loss leading to increased fracture risk, and with metabolically unfavorable body composition changes that predispose to diabetes and may increase cardiovascular risk.

Primary autonomic failure is characterized by disabling orthostatic hypotension, but at least half of these patients have paradoxical supine hypertension. Renin-angiotensin mechanisms were not initially thought to contribute to this hypertension because plasma renin activity is often undetectable in autonomic failure.

Identify modifiable factors contributing to renal cell carcinoma in the PCLO to target disease prevention and reduce health care costs.

The prostate, lung, colorectal, and ovarian database were queried for the primary outcome of kidney cancer.

Nocturia has been increasingly recognized as a manifestation of various non-urological conditions including hypertension. In adults, blood pressure (BP) elevation has been identified as a robust correlate of nocturia, but such a relationship has not been studied in pediatric populations where nocturia is often attributed to hormonal, sleep, physiological or psychological disorders.

There is inconsistency in the criteria used to define anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug-induced hypertension (AVEGF-HT) in published studies. It is unknown whether specific patient characteristics similarly predict AVEGF-HT using different criteria.

To determine the effect of partial nephrectomy (PN) in the solitary kidney on systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP, respectively), and use of antihypertensive medications.

We performed a retrospective cohort study of solitary kidney patients who underwent PN for kidney cancer from 1999-2015.

Prostate cancer and its associated treatments can cause significant and lasting morbidities, such as cardiovascular and sexual dysfunctions. Various interventions have attempted to prevent or mitigate these dysfunctions.

Kidney stone is a life-threatening disease with subsequent complications, especially in children who overtake this disease in early ages. This study assessed the effect of kidney stone history on current blood pressure and growth parameters of children.
