Excess glucocorticoid levels cause Cushing's syndrome (CS) and may be due to pituitary, adrenal or ectopic tumours. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels are useful in identifying adrenal tumours. In rare cases, ACTH-producing phaeochromocytomas are the cause of CS. We present two cases of...
3.ACTH producing tumours:small cell lung cancer(13%),carcinoid tumours,medullary carcinomas of thyroid. Distinguishs between adrenal glands and pituitary adenomas: ACTH levels: low:adrenal glands; high:pituitary adenomas. attention: alcohol induced pseudo cushing's syndrome. Patients with severe or ra...
On the other hand, treating endogenous Cushing’s syndrome, such as Cushing’s disease, is more difficult.By surgically removing the tumors, for example on the anterior pituitary, excessive ACTH is no longer produced, resulting in normal cortisol levels.If the tumo...
根据近年的研究报道,ACTH依赖性CS并非只由ACTH调节,在Cushing病和异位ACTH分泌综合征中,皮质醇的分泌也依赖于CRH,因而将以前的ACTH依赖性CS称为CRH/ACTH依赖性CS(CRH/ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome)似乎更合理些。 CS可发生于任何年龄,多见于20～45岁,成人多于儿童,女性多于男性,男女比例1∶3～1∶8。成年男性的...

If you have Cushing's syndrome, your doctor may refer you to a specialist who will do other blood tests orimaging scansto find out what's causing it. A blood test checks levels of the cortisol-regulating hormone ACTH. If levels are low, an adrenal tumor is the likely cause. If they’...

Hypokalemia is a common feature in patients with Cushing's syndrome (CS). Whether the occurrence of hypokalemia is associated with cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels is still unclear. Approximately 80% of cases of endogenous CS are due to Cushing's disease (CD). The purpose ...
