Isolated Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (acth) Deficiency Associated with Hashimoto's Disease
Isolated ACTH deficiency (IAD) is a rare disease which is characterized by secondary adrenal insufficiency with low cortisol production and normal secretion of pituitary hormones other than ACTH. Isolated ACTH deficiency has rare association with Hashimoto’s disease which is characterized by autoimmune origin. This suggests the possibility of common autoimmune process affecting both the pituita...

متن کاملIsolated ACTH deficiency.
Isolated ACTH is a rare cause of secondary adrenocortical insufficiency. The diagnosis is made by the demonstration of low cortisol production with low plasma ACTH, absent adrenal responses to stimulation for pituitary or hypothalamus with intact adrenal response to exogenous ACTH, and normal secretory indices of other pituitary hormones. We conclude that the diagnosis of this condition may be ...
