Cushing Syndrome
A condition caused by prolonged exposure to excess levels of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) or other GLUCOCORTICOIDS from endogenous or exogenous sources. It is characterized by upper body OBESITY; OSTEOPOROSIS; HYPERTENSION; DIABETES MELLITUS; HIRSUTISM; AMENORRHEA; and excess body fluid. Endogenous Cushing syndrome or spontaneous hypercortisolism is divided into two groups, those due to an excess of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN and those that are ACTH-independent.
Adrenal Cortex Diseases
Pathological processes of the ADRENAL CORTEX.
Adrenal Gland Diseases
Pathological processes of the ADRENAL GLANDS.
Pituitary ACTH Hypersecretion
A disease of the PITUITARY GLAND characterized by the excess amount of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secreted. This leads to hypersecretion of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) by the ADRENAL GLANDS resulting in CUSHING SYNDROME.
Carney Complex
Autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by cardiac and cutaneous MYXOMAS; LENTIGINOSIS (spotty pigmentation of the skin), and endocrinopathy and its associated endocrine tumors. The cardiac myxomas may lead to SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH and other complications in Carney complex patients. The gene coding for the PRKAR1A protein is one of the causative genetic loci (type 1). A second locus is at chromosome 2p16 (type 2).
17-Hydroxycorticosteroids
A group of hydroxycorticosteroids bearing a hydroxy group at the 17-position. Urinary excretion of these compounds is used as an index of adrenal function. They are used systemically in the free alcohol form, but with esterification of the hydroxy groups, topical effectiveness is increased.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).
Syndrome
A characteristic symptom complex.
Adrenalectomy
Excision of one or both adrenal glands. (From Dorland, 28th ed)
Adrenal Gland Neoplasms
Tumors or cancer of the ADRENAL GLANDS.
Adrenal Cortex Function Tests
Examinations that evaluate and monitor hormone production in the adrenal cortex.
Esthesioneuroblastoma, Olfactory
A malignant olfactory neuroblastoma arising from the olfactory epithelium of the superior nasal cavity and cribriform plate. It is uncommon (3% of nasal tumors) and rarely is associated with the production of excess hormones (e.g., SIADH, Cushing Syndrome). It has a high propensity for multiple local recurrences and bony metastases. (From Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3rd ed, p1245; J Laryngol Otol 1998 Jul;112(7):628-33)
Adrenal Cortex Neoplasms
Tumors or cancers of the ADRENAL CORTEX.
Pituitary Neoplasms
Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.
Cyclic AMP-Dependent Protein Kinase RIalpha Subunit
A type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunit that plays a role in confering CYCLIC AMP activation of protein kinase activity. It has a lower affinity for cAMP than the CYCLIC-AMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASE RIBETA SUBUNIT.
Hydrocortisone
The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, collagen diseases, asthma, adrenocortical deficiency, shock, and some neoplastic conditions.
Pituitary Function Tests
Examinations that evaluate functions of the pituitary gland.
Adrenocortical Adenoma
A benign neoplasm of the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is characterized by a well-defined nodular lesion, usually less than 2.5 cm. Most adrenocortical adenomas are nonfunctional. The functional ones are yellow and contain LIPIDS. Depending on the cell type or cortical zone involved, they may produce ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and/or ANDROSTENEDIONE.
Adrenal Glands
A pair of glands located at the cranial pole of each of the two KIDNEYS. Each adrenal gland is composed of two distinct endocrine tissues with separate embryonic origins, the ADRENAL CORTEX producing STEROIDS and the ADRENAL MEDULLA producing NEUROTRANSMITTERS.
ACTH Syndrome, Ectopic
Symptom complex due to ACTH production by non-pituitary neoplasms.
Iatrogenic Disease
Any adverse condition in a patient occurring as the result of treatment by a physician, surgeon, or other health professional, especially infections acquired by a patient during the course of treatment.
Hypophysectomy
Surgical removal or destruction of the hypophysis, or pituitary gland. (Dorland, 28th ed)
Adenoma
A benign epithelial tumor with a glandular organization.
Adrenal Cortex
The outer layer of the adrenal gland. It is derived from MESODERM and comprised of three zones (outer ZONA GLOMERULOSA, middle ZONA FASCICULATA, and inner ZONA RETICULARIS) with each producing various steroids preferentially, such as ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and ANDROSTENEDIONE. Adrenal cortex function is regulated by pituitary ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN.
Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone
A peptide of about 41 amino acids that stimulates the release of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. CRH is synthesized by neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, CRH stimulates the release of ACTH from the PITUITARY GLAND. CRH can also be synthesized in other tissues, such as PLACENTA; ADRENAL MEDULLA; and TESTIS.
Abdominal Fat
Fatty tissue in the region of the ABDOMEN. It includes the ABDOMINAL SUBCUTANEOUS FAT and the INTRA-ABDOMINAL FAT.
Obesity, Abdominal
A condition of having excess fat in the abdomen. Abdominal obesity is typically defined as waist circumferences of 40 inches or more in men and 35 inches or more in women. Abdominal obesity raises the risk of developing disorders, such as diabetes, hypertension and METABOLIC SYNDROME X.
ACTH-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma
A pituitary adenoma which secretes ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN, leading to CUSHING DISEASE.
Pituitary Irradiation
Radiation therapy used to treat the PITUITARY GLAND.
Down Syndrome
A chromosome disorder associated either with an extra chromosome 21 or an effective trisomy for chromosome 21. Clinical manifestations include hypotonia, short stature, brachycephaly, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, Simian crease, and moderate to severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations, a marked increase in the incidence of LEUKEMIA, and the early onset of ALZHEIMER DISEASE are also associated with this condition. Pathologic features include the development of NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES in neurons and the deposition of AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN, similar to the pathology of ALZHEIMER DISEASE. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p213)
Metabolic Syndrome X
A cluster of metabolic risk factors for CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES and TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS. The major components of metabolic syndrome X include excess ABDOMINAL FAT; atherogenic DYSLIPIDEMIA; HYPERTENSION; HYPERGLYCEMIA; INSULIN RESISTANCE; a proinflammatory state; and a prothrombotic (THROMBOSIS) state. (from AHA/NHLBI/ADA Conference Proceedings, Circulation 2004; 109:551-556)
Paraganglioma, Extra-Adrenal
A relatively rare, usually benign neoplasm originating in the chemoreceptor tissue of the CAROTID BODY; GLOMUS JUGULARE; GLOMUS TYMPANICUM; AORTIC BODIES; and the female genital tract. It consists histologically of rounded or ovoid hyperchromatic cells that tend to be grouped in an alveolus-like pattern within a scant to moderate amount of fibrous stroma and a few large thin-walled vascular channels. (From Stedman, 27th ed)
Follow-Up Studies
Studies in which individuals or populations are followed to assess the outcome of exposures, procedures, or effects of a characteristic, e.g., occurrence of disease.
Central Serous Chorioretinopathy
A visual impairment characterized by the accumulation of fluid under the retina through a defect in the retinal pigment epithelium.
Nephrotic Syndrome
A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.
Cavernous Sinus
An irregularly shaped venous space in the dura mater at either side of the sphenoid bone.
Sjogren's Syndrome
Chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease in which the salivary and lacrimal glands undergo progressive destruction by lymphocytes and plasma cells resulting in decreased production of saliva and tears. The primary form, often called sicca syndrome, involves both KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS SICCA and XEROSTOMIA. The secondary form includes, in addition, the presence of a connective tissue disease, usually rheumatoid arthritis.
Glucocorticoids
A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.
Endocrinology
A subspecialty of internal medicine concerned with the metabolism, physiology, and disorders of the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM.

Germany, West
Hypopituitarism
Diminution or cessation of secretion of one or more hormones from the anterior pituitary gland (including LH; FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE; SOMATOTROPIN; and CORTICOTROPIN). This may result from surgical or radiation ablation, non-secretory PITUITARY NEOPLASMS, metastatic tumors, infarction, PITUITARY APOPLEXY, infiltrative or granulomatous processes, and other conditions.

Undetectable urinary free cortisol concentrations in a case of Cushing's disease. (1/758)

Measurement of the 24-h urinary free cortisol is a valuable screening test of endogenous hypercortisolism and, although false positive results may occur in a few situations, for example endogenous depression, false negative results are unusual. We report a case of a 48-year-old lady with pituitary-dependent Cushing's disease, whose 24-h urinary free cortisol excretion was consistently undetectable in association with increased plasma and salivary cortisol concentrations and reduced dexamethasone suppressibility. The patient had chronic renal impairment (creatinine clearance 21 ml/min) as a consequence of hypertension, despite only modestly increased urea and creatinine concentrations. Urinary free cortisol measurements must be interpreted with caution in patients with renal impairment.  (+info)

Primary hepatic carcinoid in a renal transplant patient. (2/758)

There seems to be a world-wide increase in the incidence of tumors among immunosuppressed patients. Of 1350 renal allografts transplanted in the past 23 years at the Department of Transplantation and Surgery, 56 cases were malignant tumors. The case of a 58-year-old female patient is reported, with disseminated primary carcinoid in the liver detected 86 days after renal transplantation. According to the literature only 39 patients with primary liver carcinoids have been reported until 1997, but this is the first where the carcinoid developed in an immunosuppressed patient. The rapid progression of the carcinoid could be associated with the immunosuppression.  (+info)

The neuroendocrine protein 7B2 is required for peptide hormone processing in vivo and provides a novel mechanism for pituitary Cushing's disease. (3/758)

The neuroendocrine protein 7B2 has been implicated in activation of prohormone convertase 2 (PC2), an important neuroendocrine precursor processing endoprotease. To test this hypothesis, we created a null mutation in 7B2 employing a novel transposon-facilitated technique and compared the phenotypes of 7B2 and PC2 nulls. 7B2 null mice have no demonstrable PC2 activity, are deficient in processing islet hormones, and display hypoglycemia, hyperproinsulinemia, and hypoglucagonemia. In contrast to the PC2 null phenotype, these mice show markedly elevated circulating ACTH and corticosterone levels, with adrenocortical expansion. They die before 9 weeks of severe Cushing's syndrome arising from pituitary intermediate lobe ACTH hypersecretion. We conclude that 7B2 is indeed required for activation of PC2 in vivo but has additional important functions in regulating pituitary hormone secretion.  (+info)

Venous subarachnoid hemorrhage after inferior petrosal sinus sampling for adrenocorticotropic hormone. (4/758)

Neurologic complications associated with inferior petrosal sinus sampling for adrenocorticotropic hormone in the diagnosis of Cushing syndrome are rare. Previously reported complications include brain stem infarction and pontine hemorrhage. We report a case of venous subarachnoid hemorrhage with subsequent acute obstructive hydrocephalus occurring during inferior petrosal sinus sampling for Cushing syndrome.  (+info)

Natural killer cell activity in the peripheral blood of patients with Cushing's syndrome. (5/758)

BACKGROUND: Natural killer (NK) cells are CD3(-)CD16(+)CD56(+) bone-marrow-derived lymphocytes mediating first-line defence by direct cytotoxicity against various types of target cells without prior immunization. NK cell activity is positively regulated by immune interferon (IFN-gamma); among hormones, glucocorticoids are potent in vitro and in vivo inhibitors, whereas ACTH and beta-endorphin in many experimental circumstances enhance NK cytotoxicity. DESIGN: We measured NK cytotoxicity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained at 0800h and 2000h from 26 patients with Cushing's syndrome (12 pituitary-dependent, 12 adrenal-dependent and two dependent on ectopic ACTH secretion). In vitro responsiveness to IFN-gamma or cortisol was also tested. METHODS: NK activity was measured in a 4-h direct cytotoxicity assay using K562 cells as targets. Plasma ACTH, serum and urinary free cortisol were concomitantly measured with commercially available kits. RESULTS: Spontaneous activity and responsiveness to IFN-gamma or cortisol were significantly greater in 15 age- and sex-matched controls than in Cushing's patients at 0800h. In pituitary-dependent Cushing's patients, plasma ACTH correlated positively with mean levels of spontaneous NK activity (r=0.64, P<0.05) and negatively with cortisol-dependent percentage inhibition (r=-0.69, P<0.02). In adrenal-dependent Cushing's patients, a negative correlation was observed between levels of spontaneous NK activity and urinary free cortisol (r=-0.67, P<0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that excess endogenous glucocorticoids affect spontaneous NK cell activity and responsiveness to exogenous IFN-gamma or cortisol. The differential patterns observed between pituitary-dependent and adrenal-dependent groups are compatible with a positive immunomodulatory role of pituitary pro-opiomelanocortin-derived peptides that effectively counterbalance, at least partially, glucocorticoid immunosuppression.  (+info)

Studies on the "low dose" suppressible Cushing's disease. (6/758)

Diagnosis of Cushing's disease in most cases can be established by the standard dexamethasone suppression test without difficulty. However, some cases were known to be normally suppressed by the standard low dose of dexamethasone (2 mg daily). The case we encountered recently was also normally suppressed by either the rapid (Nugent) or the standard (Liddle) method. This fact prompted us to study the usefulness of a single dose of 0.5 mg of dexamethasone to suppress the plasma cortisol in the normal. It was concluded that the single oral dose of 0.5 mg of dexamethasone given at 11 p.m. on the previous night suppressed the plasma cortisol efficiently the following morning in the normal, thus making the differentiation of particular cases of Cushing's disease from the normal possible. The disappearance of plasma dexamethasone did not differ significantly between the normal and the Cushing's disease.  (+info)

Pituitary tumours in the elderly: a 20 year experience. (7/758)

The proportion of the elderly in the population is increasing, and the appreciation and management of medical problems in this age group will therefore become more important. We therefore decided to determine the clinical features and types of pituitary tumour presenting in the elderly, and to examine the treatment and outcome in this group. We conducted a retrospective case-note review from a specialist endocrine and neurosurgical unit in a tertiary referral centre. Eighty-four patients aged 65 years and over on diagnosis of a pituitary tumour were referred to the unit between 1975 and 1996. There were 45 males and 39 females, and the mean age was 72.4 years (range 65-86). Over half of the pituitary lesions were non-functioning adenomas (NFAs) (60.7%). GH-secreting tumours were present in 11 (13.1%) and macroprolactinomas in 7 (8.1%). Four patients had microadenomas and 17 had miscellaneous pituitary-related lesions. Visual deterioration was the commonest mode of presentation in 33 (39.3%), but 54 (64.3%) had evidence of visual impairment on detailed examination. Despite the majority of patients (80.8%) having coexisting medical conditions, trans-sphenoidal surgery was performed in 60 (71.4%) and was well tolerated with a zero peri- and post-operative mortality rate, and post-operative complications in 11 (13.1%). Pituitary tumours in the elderly are most frequently NFAs that present with visual deterioration and hypopituitarism. The fact that 46.5% were pan-hypopituitary on diagnosis and that 64.3% of patients had visual impairment suggests a delay in diagnosis in this age group. Despite significant coexisting medical pathology in this large series of patients, surgery was safe and successful in the majority.  (+info)

The expression of inhibin/activin subunits in the human adrenal cortex and its tumours. (8/758)

Inhibins and activins are dimeric proteins of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily which have been shown to be expressed in the adrenal cortex. Recent studies have suggested a role for these peptides in the pathogenesis and/or function of adrenal tumours. To investigate further their physiological and pathological roles, we have documented immunoreactivity for inhibin alpha, betaA and betaB subunits in normal adult and fetal human adrenals, in hyperplastic adrenals and in adrenal tumours. In the normal and hyperplastic adult gland, diffuse immunopositivity was demonstrated for beta subunits, suggesting that activins (beta beta dimers) can be expressed in all zones. Inhibin alpha was limited to the zona reticularis and the innermost zona fasciculata in the normal gland, extending centripetally into the zona fasciculata in hyperplasia, supporting a role for ACTH in the regulation of expression, and suggesting that expression of inhibins (alpha beta dimers) is restricted. Immunopositivity for all three subunits was seen in both fetal and definitive zones of the fetal cortex, indicating that both inhibins and activins could be expressed in both. Immunopositivity for all three subunits was seen in most adrenocortical tumours. Loss of immunopositivity for inhibin alpha in a subgroup of carcinomas might indicate a role in tumour progression. The greater intensity of staining for inhibin alpha in tumours associated with Cushing's syndrome again suggests a link with cortisol production.  (+info)

This drug was approved for use in patients with endogenous Cushings syndrome who have type 2 diabetes or glucose intolerance and are not candidates for surgery or who have not responded to prior surgery. Korlym should never be used (contraindicated) by pregnant women.. Prior to FDAs approval of Korlym, there were no approved medical therapies for the treatment of endogenous Cushings syndrome.. Endogenous Cushings syndrome is a serious, debilitating and rare multisystem disorder. It is caused by the overproduction of cortisol (a steroid hormone that increases blood sugar levels) by the adrenal glands. This syndrome most commonly affects adults between the ages of 25 and 40. About 5,000 patients will be eligible for Korlym treatment, which received an orphan drug designation by the FDA in 2007.. Korlym blocks the binding of cortisol to its receptor. It does not decrease cortisol production but reduces the effects of excess cortisol, such as high blood sugar levels.. The safety and efficacy of ...

Cushing Syndrome is an endocrine disorder causing an over production of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol is produced in the adrenal gland as a response to the production of ACTH in the pituitary gland.. Between 10% and 20% of patients with hypercortisolism (Cushing Syndrome) have ectopic production of the hormone ACTH. Meaning, the hormone is not being released from the normal site, the pituitary gland. In many cases the ectopic ACTH is being produced by a tumor of the lung, thymus, or pancreas. However, in approximately 50% of these patients the source of the ACTH cannot be found even with the use of extensive imaging studies such as CT scans, MRIs, and nuclear scans (111-indium pentetreotide). The ability of these tests to locate the source of the hormone production is dependent on the changes of anatomy and / or the dose and adequate uptake of the radioactive agent. The inability to detect the source of ectopic ACTH production often results in unnecessary pituitary surgery or ...

Background/Aims: The current diagnostic workup of Cushings syndrome (CS) requires various tests which only capture short-term cortisol exposure, whereas patients with endogenous CS generally have elevated cortisol levels over longer periods of time. Scalp hair assessment has emerged as a convenient test in capturing glucocorticoid concentrations over long periods of time. The aim of this multicenter, multinational, prospective, case-control study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of scalp hair glucocorticoids in screening of endogenous CS. Methods: We assessed the diagnostic performances of hair cortisol (HairF), hair cortisone (HairE), and the sum of both (sumHairF+E), as measured by a state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS technique, in untreated patients with confirmed endogenous CS (n = 89) as well as in community controls (n = 295) from the population-based Lifelines cohort study. Results: Both glucocorticoids were significantly elevated in CS patients when compared to controls. A high diagnostic ...

Incidental Tumor:Most adrenal tumors do not produce hormones (non-functional) and are found incidentally on CT or MR imaging and therefore do not cause symptoms. An adrenal incidentaloma is found in up to 5% of all people who are undergoing imaging studies for another medical condition. Your physician will perform a history and physical examination for symptoms and signs of excessive hormonal production, and order blood and urine tests to rule out overproduction of hormones by the incidentaloma.Adrenal Cushings Syndrome:In adrenal Cushings syndrome, excess cortisol is produced by adrenal gland tumors or hyperplastic adrenal glands.Symptoms of Adrenal Cushings Syndrome:Weight gain and fat distribution mostly in the abdominal regionEasy bruising/thinning of the skinPoor wound healingRound faceWeak bones, which can lead to fracturesFatigueHigh blood pressureHigh blood sugarIrritability, anxiety, mood swings, and/or depressionIncreased acneIncreased thirst and urinationLack of menstrual periods/excessive

N2 - Cushing syndrome (CS) is a severe clinical condition caused by prolonged and inappropriate exposure to cortisol. Excluding exogenous cortisol excess, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion from a pituitary adenoma, also called Cushing disease (CD), represents by far the most common CS etiology. Since Harvey Cushing first reported the classical clinical syndrome over 100 years ago, much clinical progress has been made, however disease management remains a challenge both in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Treatment is often complex and may require surgery, medical management and radiotherapy. Here we focus on the key findings of recent clinical trials with new therapeutic agents (1-3) and discuss how these new treatments fit in the armamentarium for patients with CD..

The diagnosis of Cushings syndrome is usually made clinically. However to differentiate between adrenal cause and pituitary cause, tests may be required. The most common screening test to establish increased serum cortisol levels is to do 24 hours urine estimation of free cortisol. Normally, the levels are between 20-70 µg/sqm, however in case of Cushings syndrome, urinary free cortisol is elevated. To find out the cause, your doctor may do blood ACTH levels and high dose dexamethasone suppression test. In case of pituitary tumors, ACTH levels will be elevated. In case of adrenal tumors, ACTH levels will be decreased. High dose dexamethasone tests consists of given high dose dexamethasone 6 hourly for 48 hours and then doing urinary free cortisol on 2nd day. In case of suppression of secretion of cortisol in urine, it suggests a pituitary cause and in case of non suppression, it suggests adrenal cause ...

Genetics of Cushings Syndrome - Yaneva M.Genetics of Cushings Syndrome - Yaneva M.
en] Cushings syndrome (CS) is characterized by pathologically elevated free glucocorticoid levels. Endogenous hypercortisolism is usually due to ACTH-secreting pituitary corticotropic adenomas and less often due to ectopic ACTH-secreting neuroendocrine neoplasms or ACTH-independent adrenal cortisol hypersecretion. CS is a serious chronic disease leading to a several-fold increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Multiple genetic alterations have been described in the setting of sporadic corticotropinoma formation. Changes in the expression profiles have been demonstrated in growth factors and their receptors, cell-cycle regulators and in various genes related to hormonal gene transcription, synthesis and secretion. Sporadic adrenal adenomas and carcinomas may demonstrate dysfunction in genes such as TP53 among others. Cushings disease can be an inherited condition also. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and familial isolated pituitary adenomas (FIPA) together account for 5% ...

Introduction: Cushing s syndrome (CS) results from inappropriate exposure to excessive glucocorticoids. Untreated, it has significant morbidity and mortality.. Case report: A 38-year-old woman with a typical appearance of CS was admitted for further evaluation of hypercortisolism. The serum cortisol level was elevated without diurnal rhythm, with no adequate supression of cortisol after 1 mg dexamethasone suppresion test. Twenty-four-hour urinary free cortisol level was elevated. Differential diagnostic testing was showed ACTH-dependent lesion (ACTH=17.4/95.6 ng/l), of the pituitary origin: suppression of cortisol level to 83% of baseline in 2 days 8 mg dexamethasone suppression test and a rise in the cortisol value of 23% above basal level along with a rise in ACTH value of 85% above basal level in CRH stimulation test. Pituitary abnormalities were not observed during repeated MRI scanning. Inferior petrosal sinus (PS) sampling was performed: i) baseline ratio ACTH PS/peripferal was ,2; ii) CRH ...

What Is Cushings? Cushings syndrome, also known as hypercortisolism or hyperadrenocorticism, is an endocrine disorder caused by prolonged exposure of the bodys tissues to high levels of the hormone cortisol (in the blood) from a variety of causes, including primary pituitary adenoma (known as Cushings disease), primary adrenal hyperplasia or neoplasia, ectopic ACTH production (e.g., from a small cell lung cancer), and iatrogenic (steroid use). It is relatively rare and most commonly affects adults aged 20 to 50. An estimated 10 to 15 of every million people are affected each year. Cushings was discovered by American physician, surgeon and endocrinologist Harvey Cushing (1869-1939) and reported by him in 1932. Normally, cortisol is released from the adrenal glands in response to ACTH being released from the pituitary gland. Both Cushings syndrome and Cushings disease are characterized by elevated levels of cortisol in the blood, but the cause of elevated cortisol differs between the two. ...

Ectopic ACTH/CRH co-secreting tumors are a very rare cause of Cushings syndrome and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Differentiating between Cushings disease and ectopic Cushings syndrome may be particularly difficult if predominant ectopic CRH secretion leads to pituitary corticotroph hyperplasia that may mimic Cushings disease during dynamic testing with both dexamethasone and CRH as well as bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS). We present the case of a 24-year-old man diagnosed with ACTH-dependent Cushings syndrome caused by an ACTH/CRH co-secreting midgut NET. Both high-dose dexamethasone testing and BIPSS suggested Cushings disease. However, the clinical presentation with a rather rapid onset of cushingoid features, hyperpigmentation and hypokalemia led to the consideration of ectopic ACTH/CRH-secretion and prompted a further workup.

In many cases of suspected ectopic ACTH secretion, it is difficult to histologically or cytochemically confirm the diagnosis. We present a 63-year-old woman with a recurrent poorly differentiated squamous cell lung carcinoma with clinical and biochemical features consistent with ectopic Cushings syndrome. Immunocytochemical staining confirmed the secretion of ACTH by tumour cells. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved. ...

Canine Cushings Disease: A Common Disease in Older DogsCanine Cushings Disease: A Common Disease in Older Dogs
Canine Cushings disease (hyperadrenocorticism) affects the pituitary and causes it to produce too much glucocorticoid. Canine Cushings disease is common in older dogs and has a wide range of symptoms. Canine Cushings disease symptoms appear gradually and many owners mistake them for signs of old age. One of the most common symptoms of Canine Cushings disease is increased consumption of water and resultant increased urination. Housebroken animals may begin to have indoor accidents because of increased water consumption. An increase in appetite may accompany canine Cushings. Dogs may begin stealing food, begging continuously, or showing other signs of increased appetite. Canine Cushings disease can cause abdominal swelling in dogs. Your dog may appear potbellied due to a weakening of abdominal muscles caused by canine Cushings. Hair loss and thinning of skin is also very common in Cushings dogs. Hair loss begins in heavy-wear areas such as the elbows, and progresses over the flanks and ...

Unravelling the mystery in a case of persistent ACTH-independent Cushings syndrome | ScholarBank@NUSUnravelling the mystery in a case of persistent ACTH-independent Cushings syndrome | [email protected]
Introduction: We present a rare variety of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)-independent Cushings syndrome known as primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD). Clinical Picture: The patient initially underwent unilateral adrenalectomy for what was thought to be a left adrenal adenoma. Outcome: Partial resolution of symptoms and demonstrable persistent hypercortisolism after surgery prompted further evaluation with findings leading to the diagnosis of Carney complex. A review of the adrenal histology was consistent with PPNAD. Conclusion: This entity of PPNAD, which has rarely been reported in Asians, forms part of the Carney complex. The diagnosis may not be simple and straightforward, as illustrated in this patient ...

en] We aimed to investigate the dynamics of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol secretion in pituitary-dependent Cushings syndrome with bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia presenting as a single adrenal macronodule, and to determine the imaging characteristics of this syndrome. Three female patients were studied. Plasma ACTH and serum cortisol secretion were studied by determining their rhythmicity and pulsatility and their responses to the administration of ovine corticotropin-releasing factor, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, metyrapone, tetracosactrin, insulin and dexamethasone. Techniques used to localize the anatomical lesion were bilateral simultaneous inferior petrosal sinus sampling, magnetic resonance examination of the pituitary, computed tomography (CT) scanning and [75Se]cholesterol scintigraphy of the adrenal glands. Plasma ACTH and serum cortisol levels were measured using a commercial radioimmunoassay and an immunoradiometric assay. The ACTH and cortisol pulse number and ...

Cushings disease (hyperadrenocorticism) - Mayne VetsCushings disease (hyperadrenocorticism) - Mayne Vets
The steroid hormones affect almost every tissue in the body and the signs of Cushings disease can be diverse. The most obvious sign of Cushings disease is increased thirst. If your dog is drinking more (or is suddenly needing to get up in the night to urinate) you should always take them to the vet for a check-up. However, not all dogs with Cushings disease have increased thirst.. An increased appetite (and weight gain) is also very common in Cushings disease but owners may not recognise this as a sign of illness.. Cushings disease causes changes to the skin and haircoat. The hair is lost in patches (particularly over the flanks) but there is no scratching. Other symptoms appear in the skin, which becomes fragile and thin. It bruises easily and heals poorly. Purplish pink stretch marks may appear on the abdomen. Female dogs may stop coming into season.. Steroid hormones cause muscle wasting and weak muscles may make it difficult for your pet to exercise. You may notice that your dog is ...

Objective: The challenge of diagnosing Cushings syndrome (CS) calls for high precision biochemical screening. This study aimed to establish robust reference intervals for, and compare the diagnostic accuracy of, salivary cortisol and cortisone in late-night samples and after a low-dose (1 mg) dexamethasone suppression test (DST). Design and methods: Saliva samples were collected at 08:00 and 23:00 h, and at 08:00 h, after a DST, from 22 patients with CS and from 155 adult reference subjects. We also collected samples at 20:00 and 22:00 h from 78 of the reference subjects. Salivary cortisol and cortisone were analysed with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The reference intervals were calculated as the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the reference population measurements. Diagnostic accuracies of different tests were compared, based on areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves. Results: The upper reference limits of salivary cortisol and cortisone at 23:00 h were 3.6 ...

Cushings disease (hyperadrenocorticism) - Crossriggs Veterinary ClinicCushings disease (hyperadrenocorticism) - Crossriggs Veterinary Clinic
Treatment of iatrogenic Cushings is relatively straightforward with gradual reduction in corticosteroid administration required. Corticosteroids are potent drugs and it is essential that they are not stopped suddenly. In some cases, successful treatment of iatrogenic Cushings can take several months.. Treatment of naturally occurring Cushings disease in the cat is difficult and not without risk. Surgical removal of the abnormal adrenal gland (adrenalectomy) is the treatment of choice for adrenal Cushings disease. This is high risk surgery as affected cats are prone to infections and poor wound healing; there are high risks of bleeding at surgery as the adrenals are close to major blood vessels and cats with Cushings are more vulnerable to forming blood clots (thrombi) which can have serious consequences.. Pituitary cases are even harder to treat as there is no single perfect treatment. Medical treatment can be problematic in these cats - most of the treatments that have been tried have had ...

Measurement of 24-h urinary free cortisol (UFC) provides the most sensitive and specific diagnostic information for adrenal malfunctions, especially for Cushing syndrome (1)(2). The existing methodologies include immunoassays (3)(4)(5) and HPLC, with and without solid-phase extraction and derivatization (6)(7). Immunoassays for UFC are precise but overestimate the concentration because of antibodies cross-reactivity with various metabolites and with synthetic corticoids having a chemical configuration similar to that of cortisol (8). HPLCs, on the other hand, although very specific, require large volumes of mobile phase, as well as sample pretreatment. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) overcomes many of these problems through the use of an open-tubular format, thus avoiding interaction of analytes with the solid-phase resin. Earlier, we reported the feasibility of rapid UFC detection in solid-phase extraction CE with a neutral capillary (9). Using a neutral capillary, we could demonstrate a ...

I am a cyclical Cushings patient. I had transsphenoidal pituitary brain surgery on June 11, 2009. By going through my nose with scopes and scalpels, my neurosurgeon removed a 3 millimeter ACTH-secreting benign tumor on the left pituitary that disrupted every hormone and every body system. He says the tumors cytology was consistent with other Cushings tumors he has removed in the past, meaning that he removed a milky white substance that was different looking that the normal pinkish pituitary gland cells. Within 3 months of my surgery, I knew I was not cured. I still had Cushings symptoms, and I tested again for a re-occurrence of Cushings.

Ritonavir is a potent inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP3A4 and is subject to multiple drug-drug interactions. This becomes especially important when the patient is also taking medications metabolized through CYP3A pathway as increased and potentially toxic drug levels may ensue. Herein we present one such interaction wherein a 57 year old gentleman with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on highly active antiretroviral therapy that included ritonavir, had addition of fluticasone inhaler to his medication repertoire for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This resulted in severe osteoporosis, iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and adrenal insufficiency due to the potentiated systemic glucocorticoid effect of inhaled fluticasone by ritonavir. This case emphasizes the need for pharmacovigilance when managing patients on complex drug regimens for physicians treating HIV infected patients.

Cushings SyndromeCushings Syndrome
Cushings syndrome refers to the clinical features caused by excess glucocorticoid hormones. Round, moon-shape face, excess hair, truncal obesity, weakness, amenorrhea, diabetes mellitus, depression, reduced libido and hypertension are some of the symptoms.. When administered at high doses mifepristone exhibits antiglucocorticoid activity and therefore maybe be useful alternative to currently used medical treatments. Antiglucocorticoid antagonists prevent the biological effects of glucocorticoids by competing with theses hormones for binding to the intra-cellular glucocorticoid receptor. Mifepristone is the first potent glucocorticoid antagonist active in vivo. Mifepristone can act as both an optimal antagonist (devoid of any agonist activity) or a suboptimal antagonist (partial agonist antagonist), depending on the response examined.. The antiglucocorticoid effect of Mifepristone has been studied in patients with Cushings syndrome. Case reports indicate that treatment with mifepristone 400 to ...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether patients with Cushings syndrome (CS) had i) changes in coagulative and fibrinolytic parameters associated with CS activity and ii) higher prevalence of venous thromboembolic events (VTE). DESIGN: Prospective study conducted on patients with CS evaluated at diagnosis and 12 months after surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty patients with active CS (36 with Cushings disease (CD) and 4 with an adrenal adenoma) were evaluated. Forty normal subjects and 70 patients with non-ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas served as controls. All patients and controls underwent an assessment of coagulation and fibrinolysis indexes before and after surgery. RESULTS: CS patients at baseline had a hypercoagulative phenotype when compared with normal subjects (activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), fibrinogen, D-Dimer, von Willebrand factor (VWF), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1 or SERPINE1), antithrombin III (ATIII or SERPINC1), P,0.0001, α(2) antiplasmin, P=0.0004, ...

Harvey Cushing - WikipediaHarvey Cushing - Wikipedia
Shortly after the entry of the United States into the First World War, Cushing was commissioned as a major in the U.S. Army Medical Corps on May 5, 1917. He was director of the U.S. base hospital attached to the British Expeditionary Force in France. Cushing also served as the head of a surgical unit in a French military hospital outside of Paris. During his time at the French military hospital, Cushing experimented with the use of electromagnets to extract fragments of metallic missile shrapnel that were lodged severely within the brain.[8] He was mentioned in a dispatch by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig in November 1917.[9] On June 6, 1918, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and was assigned as senior consultant in neurological surgery for the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe. He attained the rank of Colonel (O-6) on October 23, 1918.[5] In that capacity, he treated Lieutenant Edward Revere Osler, who was fatally wounded during the third battle of Ypres. Lieutenant Osler was the son ...

Basel, April 25, 2012 - Novartis announced today that the European Commission has approved SigniforR (pasireotide) for the treatment of adult patients with Cushings disease for whom surgery is not an option or for whom surgery has failed[1]. Signifor is the first medicine to be approved in the European Union (EU) targeting Cushings disease.. The approval is based on data from the largest randomized Phase III study to evaluate a medical therapy in patients with Cushings disease, a disorder caused by excess cortisol in the body due to the presence of a non-cancerous pituitary tumor[1],[2],[3]. In the study, mean urinary-free cortisol (UFC) levels were normalized in 26.3% and 14.6% of the 162 patients randomized to receive Signifor 900µg and 600µg subcutaneous (sc) injection twice daily, respectively, at month six. The primary endpoint, the proportion of patients who achieved normalization of UFC after six months without dose up-titration relative to randomized dose, was met in patients ...

PSICOLMASCOT: Confusion with Cushings disease in dogsPSICOLMASCOT: Confusion with Cushings disease in dogs
A thoracic aortic aneurysm at this site may result from a chest injury, such as one due to an automobile accident. Abdominal aortic aneurysm: Aortic aneurysm that occurs in the part of the aorta that extends through the abdomen. The underlying cause of Cushing is overproduction of the hormone cortisol or overuse of corticosteroid medications such as prednisone . Most cortisol in the body is produced by the adrenal glands. If an adrenal tumor is present, it may over-secrete the hormone. Adrenal tumors are responsible for approximately 20 percent of Cushings cases in dogs, usually in the larger breeds. A tumor in the pituitary gland, located in the brain, can also stimulate the adrenal glands to produce more than normal cortisol. Pituitary tumors are responsible for about 80 percent of the natural cases that occur from Cushings disease. I can diagnose Cushings disease when I have a patient who has suspicious signs of this type: P,. 2-I can keep a urine sample for a cortisol: creatinine test. If ...
