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...
包括因利用了糖皮质激素药物的人为因素在内,有70%的柯兴综合症由脑垂体肿瘤引发—即由这些良性的脑垂体肿块分泌了过量的ACTH激素引发。大多数患者只有单个肿瘤。患上此种柯兴病的女性是男性的五倍。 #异位ACTH综合症 有时为良性,更多时候为脑垂体外的恶性肿瘤会产生ACTH激素,此类情形被称为异位ACTH综合症。超过半数...
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’...
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...
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 ...
Along with the general manifestations of Cushing syndrome, signs and symptoms specifically associated with the endogenous form include the following: Patients with an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)–producing pituitary tumor - Headaches, polyuria, nocturia, visual problems, or galactorrhea Patients with...

Endogenous Cushing syndrome (CS) is a multisystem disorder caused by excessive production of cortisol. It can result from either adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent or ACTH-independent etiologies. The incidence of endogenous CS is estimated to be 0.7 to 2.4 cases per million annually, with ...
