Endocrine venous sampling is a set of similar interventional techniques proposed for the specific diagnosis of some endocrine disorders. Such such as: 

  • inferior petrosal sinus sampling
  • selective venous sampling for primary hyperparathyroidism
    • preoperative localizationlocalisation of functioning parathyroid adenoma which cannot be localizedlocalised by imaging
  • arterial stimulation and selective venous sampling for pancreatic endocrine tumorstumours
    • used for preoperative localization of pancreatic endocrine tumors (gastrinoma, insulinoma, VIPoma, glucagonoma, somatostatinoma and pancreatic polypeptide-producing tumortumour)
  • adrenal venous sampling
    • used for identification of primary aldosteronism (Conn syndrome or bilateral idiopathic adrenal hyperplasia). 
  • ovarian venous sampling
    • used to stablish the source of excessive androgen production in women when when imaging studies are not revealing3

Renal vein sampling (renin sampling) was used for the determination of renal artery stenosis as cause of hypertension (renovascular hypertension), now infrequently performed1
