Endogenous stimulation in adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in differential diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism (PA)

Rybakova Anastasia , Sitkin Ivan , Kolesnikova Galina , Platonova Nadezda , Troshina Ekaterina , Romanova Natalia , Beltsevich Dmitry

Relevance: Due to numerous causes of PA, AVS allows differentiating variant nosological forms of PA. The importance of differential diagnosis is due to the fact that surgery is reasonable only with unilateral variant of PA, while in idiopathic hyperaldosteronism surgery isnt a method of choice.Purpose: To assess the diagnostic possibilities of using AVS against the background of endogenous stimulation of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the ea...

Introduction: Differentiation between mild Cushings syndrome (CS) and Pseudo-Cushing syndrome (PCS) can be extremely difficult. A Pseudo-Cushing state can be defined as a part or all of the clinical features that resemble a true CS with some evidence of hypercotisolism but the resolution of the underlying primitive state results in the disappearance of this Cushing state-like. The aim of this work was to describe the diagnostic difficulties of 24 cases of PCS.<p clas...

Adrenal crisis is a life-threatening complication in patients with adrenal insufficiency. In order to prevent critical situations, patients have to increase their glucocorticoid dose in distressing situations. Continuous education of patients concerning dosage adaption in challenging situations seems to be important for long term management. As previously shown, both acute illness and emotional stress may lead to critical situations. In every outpatient visit patients should b...

Evaluation of adrenal function in Cushing’s syndrome model rats

Seki Toshiro , Yasuda Atsushi , Kitajima Natsumi , Seki Masami , Oki Masayuki , Fukagawa Masafumi

Cushings syndrome is caused by cortisol-secreting adrenocortical adenoma. Surgical resection of cortisol-secreting adenoma results in secondary adrenal insufficiency in most cases. The main mechanism of adrenal insufficiency is that the residual adrenocortical tissue becomes atrophied as a result of chronic suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by excessive cortisol levels. Therefore, we have analyzed Cushing syndrome model rats following the previ...

Introduction: Prednisolone is standard treatment of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA), but many patients are reluctant to discontinue prednisolone treatment even after remission of the inflammatory conditions.

Wolf Peter , Mayr Johanna , Poglitsch Marko , Gessl Alois , Luger Anton , Winhofer Yvonne , Krebs Michael

Background: Despite adequate hormone replacement therapy, evidence suggests that mortality is increased in patients suffering from primary adrenal insufficiency (AI), mainly because of cardiovascular diseases. Since activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosteron system (RAAS) plays an important role in the development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease we aimed to investigate, if there are differences in AI compared to healthy controls.Methods: E...

A 29-year-old lady presented with features of Cushings syndrome in October 2014. Investigations confirmed ACTHdependent Cushings syndrome. An MRI scan showed a 4.5 mm right-sided pituitary lesion and subsequent inferior petrosal sinus sampling confirmed a central source of ACTH hypersecretion. She underwent trans-sphenoidal pituitary surgery in January 2015. Histology confirmed a corticotroph adenoma with a Ki-67 proliferation index of 1%. However, a mean cor...

Risk estimator for autonomous cortisol secretion in adrenal incidentalomas. Retrospective study of 100 cases

Castro Marta Araujo , Nunez Miguel Sampedro , Gonzalez Elena Fernandez , Moreno Nerea Aguire , Azpiroz Monica Marazuela

Purpose: A combined model of clinical, biochemical and radiological variables could help to predict autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) in adrenal incidentalomas (AI).Methods: We analyzed retrospectively 100 patients diagnosed of AI between 2011 and 2015. AI was defined as an adrenal mass>1 cm, accidentally discovered by radiologic examination. ACS was ruled out (ACS-) by serum cortisol post-dexamethasone suppression test (Nugent) <3 μg/dl, ...

Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension (510%) and it is underdiagnosed. Less than 50% of patients with PA have hypokalemia. The tests for determinate subtype of PA are cross-sectional imaging (adrenal CT or MRI) and adrenal vein sampling (AVS). The AVS seems to be important to direct appropriate therapy and surgery is the preferred treatment for patients with unilateral disease.Material and metho...

Introduction: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive tumor that accounts for 0.2% of cancer-related deaths. Case series and prospective studies are very limited due to its low prevalence. Current knowledge is based primarily on the opinions of experts in specialized units. The aim of this study is to perform a descriptive analysis of the management and prognosis of patients with ACC in HCSC in the last 20 years.Material and methods: Eigh...

Topaloglu Oya , Bestepe Nagihan , Yalcin Bulent , Kilic Mehmet , Metin Melike Rusen , Ucmak Gulin , Ersoy Reyhan , Cakir Bekir

Introduction: Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion is a less common cause of Cushing syndrome(CS) and is seen in 5 to 10% of patients with endogenous hypercortisolism. The most common types are bronchial carcinoids and small cell lung carcinoma. However, in approximately 1020% of the cases, overt tumor cannot be found. Here, we described two patients with catastrophic hypercorticolism associated with ectopic CS and who were treated with bilateral adrenale...

Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most frequent form of endocrine hypertension and is commonly caused by an aldosterone producing adenoma (APA). Germline and somatic mutations in the KCNJ5 gene have been found in up to 40% of APAs and demonstrated to play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of PA.Aim: Here we characterize and investigate the effects of the most common KCNJ5 mutations on cellular death mechanisms based on...

The role of DHEAS in the diagnosis of possible autonomous cortisol secretion by incidentally discovered adrenal adenomas

Introduction: Although possible autonomous cortisol secretion (pACS) is the commonest endocrine dysfunction detected in patients with adrenal incidentalomas, the diagnosis of this condition is still challenging. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is an adrenal androgen secreted by adrenal glands under the regulation of ACTH. DHEAS does not follow a circadian rhythm and has a long half-life in serum. Because of these features, low blood concentration of DHEAS has been recen...

Introduction and aim: The purpose of replacement therapy in Adrenal Insufficiency (AI) is mimicking endogenous cortisol levels as closely as possible: dual release hydrocortisone (DR-HC) has been introduced to replicate the circadian cortisol rhythm. Multiple daily saliva collections could be used to assess the cortisol concentration during real-life: our aim was to study the salivary cortisol rhythm in AI.Materials and methods: We prospectively evaluate...
