Limited Diagnostic Utility of Plasma Adrenocorticotropic Hormone for Differentiation between Adrenal Cushing Syndrome and Cushing Disease
BACKGROUND Measurement of the plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level has been recommended as the first diagnostic test for differentiating between ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome (CS) and ACTH-dependent CS. When plasma ACTH values are inconclusive, a differential diagnosis of CS can be made based upon measurement of the serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) level and results ...
متن کاملIsolated adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) deficiency associated with acute adrenal crisis.
A 37 year old black female presented with congestive cardiac failure, 2 months postpartum. She developed spontaneous hypoglycaemia and symptoms of acute adrenal crisis (hypotension, nausea, abdominal pain and tachycardia with small thready pulse), which responded to i.v. dextrose, sodium chloride and hydrocortisone. Biochemical investigations revealed low serum cortisol and plasma adrenocortico...
متن کاملPregnancy Complicated Cushing Syndrome Secondary to Adrenal Adenoma
We report a case of Cushing syndrome secondary to adrenal adenoma and the fetus showing nonreactive fetal heart rate pattern on non-stress test some days with general movements (GMs) negative. The tumor was confirmed at 31+5 weeks of pregnancy and removed surgically one month after the birth. The fetus showed nonreactive fetal heart rate pattern on non-stress test for nearly a week and was born...
متن کاملCushing syndrome in pregnancy secondary to adrenal adenoma
We report a case of Cushing syndrome secondary to adrenal adenoma presenting with hypertension and oligohydramnios during pregnancy. The tumor was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging at 28 week 3 day weeks of pregnancy and was removed surgically at 29 week 1 day weeks of gestation. After surgery, hypertension subsided and amniotic fluid volume returned to normal range. The gravid woman subs...
متن کاملPlasma adrenocorticotrophic hormone in Addison's disease and its modification by the administration of adrenal steroids.
The depressant effect of adrenal steroids on the release of pituitary adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) was first demonstrated by Ingle in the experimental animal in 1937 (1). This observation has been confirmed by many investigators (2-7), but not by all (8). In man the clinical, morphological and biochemical evidence for steroidal inhibition of pituitary secretion is impressive but there ar...
