Introduction: Co-morbidity of DM t 2 and insulinoma is extremely rare. There are only some case reports of diagnosing insulinoma but they concern patients already diagnosed with DM t. 2. We present patient diagnosed at the same time with DM t. 2 and insulinoma.Case report: A 69-year-old female patient was admitted to hospital because of high blood pressure. Since 2 years she reported attacks of weakness, tachycardia and sweating within the day, usually s...

Acromegaly is caused by growth hormone-secreting adenoma in more then 95% cases. Ectopic secretion of GH-RH is a rare cause of acromegaly accounting for less than 1% of all cases. The most frequent source of ectopic GHRH is bronchial carcinoid. Clinical and biochemical findings are similar in both conditions. A distinction of pituitary vs extrapituitary acromegaly is important in planning effective management and both reasons should be considered in the diagnostic process....

Introduction: Brown tumor–well circumscribed lytic lesion is one of the complication of advanced stage of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism. It may be also a first clinical sign of primary hyperparathyroidism. Nowadays this is rare manifestation in developed countries due to increased use of routine screening laboratory examinations. Brown tumors may also mimic true neoplasm and lead to misdiagnosis if close attention is not paid. We present three case reports and...

Introduction: Pregnancy in an acromegalic woman is rare and generally safe, but tumor expansion may occur. As this is a rare occurrence, little is known about the optimum management of such patients during pregnancy. We present the case of a woman with acromegaly treated with Lanreotide during pregnancyCase report: A 29-year-old woman with acromegaly underwent transsphenoidal resection of invasive pituitary macroadenoma in August 2014, without cure. In N...

There are a several known interactions between kidney functions, thyroid and metabolic balance. Hypothyroidism is associated with reduced GFR and hyperthyroidism results in increased GFR and increased RAA activation. Chronic kidney disease is characterized by low T3 syndrome, increased primary hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism. The hyperthyroidism increases CKD progression while hypothyroid state lowers it. Proteinuria, especially in nephrotic syndrome, often resul...

Introduction: Endocrine disorders and kidney diseases can coexist. Some of these have a common pathophysiological background. Strategies for treating endocrinopathy or glomerulonephritis (GN) may affect the function of the endocrine system and kidney.Aim: The study was aimed to assess the correlation of kidney biopsy results performed in people with suspected GN with thyroid function, metabolic syndrome and diabetes occurrence.Mate...
