Autonomic dysfunction in clinical disorders with particular reference to catecholamine release.

R H Johnson

    Journal of the Autonomic Nervous System
    |March 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Autonomic dysfunction impacts clinical disorders, affecting catecholamine levels and aging. Interpreting plasma norepinephrine requires caution due to various disease states and sympathetic activity.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Autonomic dysfunctions are implicated in numerous clinical disorders.
    • Catecholamine release, plasma levels, and noradrenaline clearance are key indicators of autonomic function.
    • Aging significantly impacts autonomic nervous system activity and catecholamine metabolism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the role of autonomic dysfunctions in clinical disorders.
    • To examine the influence of aging on catecholamine levels and noradrenaline clearance.
    • To clarify the interpretation of plasma norepinephrine levels in disease states.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical literature on autonomic dysfunctions.
    • Analysis of studies on catecholamine levels in various disease states.

  • Examination of age-related changes in sympathetic activity.

    • Main Results:

    • Autonomic dysfunctions are linked to altered plasma catecholamine levels in specific diseases.
    • Reduced sympathetic activity can lead to distinct pathophysiological abnormalities.
    • Aging affects catecholamine clearance and norepinephrine levels, complicating interpretation.
    • Neurological disorders and conditions like orthostatic hypotension in the elderly present diagnostic challenges.

    Conclusions:

    • Plasma catecholamine levels, particularly norepinephrine, must be interpreted cautiously in the context of disease and aging.
    • Understanding autonomic dysfunction is crucial for diagnosing and managing a range of clinical disorders.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the precise role of autonomic system abnormalities in certain conditions.
