High pre-operative urinary norepinephrine is an independent determinant of peri-operative hemodynamic instability in unilateral pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma removal.
Peri-operative hemodynamic instability (HDI) may increase peri-operative morbidity in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) patients. ⋯ High pre-operative urinary NE was an independent tumor-related factor for peri-operative HDI and significantly correlated with sustained intra-operative hypertension and post-operative hypotension.
