Aim of the study: Estimation of the frequancy of diabetes and prediabetes in patients with adrenal incidentaloma (AI) without hormonal activity.Material and methods: The study comprised patients with AI without hormonal activity, verified by CT. The hormonal function of adrenal glands was determined according to the circadian rhythm of cortisol and/or dexametasone suppression test, ACTH, aldosterone, plasma renin activity, DHEAS, androstenedione, 17hydro...

Introduction: The aim of the study was to asses frequency of the components of metabolic syndrome (MS) according to the criteria of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in patients with adrenal incidentaloma (AI) without hormonal activity.Design: The study comprised of patients with AI without hormonal activity, confirmed in CT. The adrenal function was determined by measuring circadian rhythm of cortisol and/or dexametasone suppression test, aldo...

Introduction: The aim of the study was to examine the risk factors associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in adult patients with DM1 and DM2.Design: The study group consisted of adults patients with DM1 and DM2, diagnosed according to the WHO criteria. Risk factors for diabetic retinopathy were evaluated on the demographic data, medical history, clinical and biochemical parameters related to metabolic control of diabetes. We collected also ophthalmic ...

Introduction: The aim of the study was to assess antropometric and metabolic parametres in women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during a 30-month observation.Design: Our prospective study cohort consisted of 367 women with GDM diagnosed according to WHO criteria. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed during 6-10 weeks and 12, 18, 24, 30 months after delivery. On every 6th month between 12th and 30th month after delivery we e...

Introduction: The aim of the study was to assess if gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) influence the pregnancy outcomes and the growth patterns in children.Design: Our prospective study cohort consisted of 261 children born to mothers with GDM and 153 control children born to non-diabetic mothers. In both groups children’s weight, length were assessed. Children were matched for large for gestational age (LGA) (birth weight >90th percentile for ...

In patients with Graves disease and Graves’ orbitopathy (GO), the diagnosis was based on clinical activity score (CAS), TSH-receptor antibodies, orbital MRI assesment. Thyreometabolic status was assessed by TSH, FT4, FT3. Before the administration of high-dose intravenous glucocorticoids oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed obligatory. The patient with confirmed diabetes were excluded form the study. Acute hyperglycaemia was diagnosed at the glucose concentrat...
