But when the high blood pressure is caused by certain swellings (tumor) which release hormones into the blood causing elevation of blood pressure, surgery is curative. One example is a mass arising from the adrenal gland known as <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>pheochromocytoma<\/em><\/span>. Similar mass when it arises from other locations, it is called\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><i>paraganglioma<\/i><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Adrenal tumour is well known to produce fluctuating blood pressure with both high blood pressure and at times low blood pressure. These fluctuations can become very wild during surgery for this condition. In fact management of blood pressure during surgery for pheochromocytoma requires special skills from a trained team. When the tumour is manipulated during surgery, it releases a large quantity of hormones into the blood causing blood pressure to shoot up. Once the tumour is removed, hormone level falls markedly leading to low blood pressure which may may necessitate large quantities of fluid to be given through the veins, along with external supplements of the hormone (noradrenaline or even adrenaline).<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Glossary<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Pheochromocytoma:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tumour arising from the adrenal gland just above the kidney<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Paraganglioma:<\/span> Tumour which secretes same hormone as pheochromocytoma, but located away from the kidney<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Adrenaline:<\/span> Hormone released from the adrenal gland which increases the heart rate and blood pressure<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Noradrenaline:<\/span> Another hormone released from the adrenal gland which increases the blood pressure<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Hormone:<\/span> Chemical substance released by one organ or group of cells into the bloodstream, which has action elsewhere<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Veins:<\/span> Blood vessel carrying deoxygenated blood back to the heart<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can surgery cure high blood pressure?
