Acromegaly is a rare disease with high morbidity and mortality associated with excessive secretion of growth hormone due to adenoma of somatotroph cells in the pituitary gland. In patients with acromegaly, residue may remain after surgical treatment, and disease control is attempted with surgery, medical treatment or radiotherapy for these patients. Pituitary imaging, IGF-1 and GH measurement are used in the follow-ups. Dynamic Contrast Enhancement perfusion MRI provides infor...

Introduction: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B (MEN 2B) is an aggressive disorder characterized by medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and pheochromocytoma. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATATE is an effective new treatment for inoperable or metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Hematologic problems, myelodysplastic syndrome or leukemia can be seen after alkylating agent and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy treatments. We present metastatic m...

Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy is a clinical syndrome characterized by overt proteinuria and decreased renal function in the course of diabetes mellitus. The earliest symptom is the presence of albuminuria, but a decrease in glomerular filtration rate(GFR) has been observed in patients without albuminuria. In our study, it was aimed to investigate the presence and prevalence of nonalbuminuric diabetic kidney disease observed in patients with type 2 diabetes, and to determi...

Parathyroid hormone(PTH) is a peptide hormone that regulates ionized calcium. Primary hyperparathyroidism, in which the bone-building-destruction balance is disturbed, is due to the uncontrolled secretion of parathormone. The systemic inflammation index (SSI) is a variable that has been validated in studies aimed at evaluating the inflammation that has been frequently mentioned recently. The disruption of this bone-making destruction process affects the inflammatory process in...

Background: Anemia is a common finding in patients with diabetes mellitus which increases the progress of the diabetic complications. There are several factors which cause anemia out of renal failure in diabetics. In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of anemia and factors that decreases hgb levels in diabetic patientsMethods: This retrospective study includes 207 diabetic patients that were hospitalized between january 2019 and january 20...
