Figure 3. APCC score and area in IHA adrenals.

Figure 3.

The median APCC (aldosterone-producing cell cluster) score (A) (6.1 vs 0 /cm2, p<0.0001, two-sided Mann-Whitney test) and the median APCC area (B) (0.25 vs 0.16 mm2, p<0.01, two-sided Mann-Whitney test) were significantly increased in IHA adrenals vs. previously described age-matched normotensive adrenals. IHA values were not significantly different vs. previously described CT-negative unilateral PA adrenals (unilateral APCC). The APCC score was defined as the number of APCC per section divided by adrenal cortex area to normalize section differences. APCC score (in log scale) is plotted for all samples according to the adrenal type (B).
