Petrified Ear Auricles with Isolated Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Deficiency
A 22-year-old man was hospitalized with nausea. His serum sodium, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and cortisol levels were 108 mmol/L (range, 138-145), 2.2 pg/mL (range, 7.2-63.3), and 0.08 μg/dL (range, 4.64-24.56), respectively. The levels of other anterior pituitary hormones were as follows: growth hormone 2.46 ng/mL (range, 0.663.68), thyroid-stimulating hormone 0.625 μIU/mL (range, 0.5...
متن کاملIsolated 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 کاملRole of antidiuretic hormone in hyponatremia in patients with isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency.
We found symptomatic hyponatremia in four elderly patients in which serum sodium (Na) levels ranged from 101 to 122 mEq/l. All 4 patients had low levels of plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), serum cortisol, and urinary excretion of 17-OHCS, and poor responses of ACTH to exogenous insulin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Other pituitary hormones were all normal. They were therefore diagno...
متن کاملA case of isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency: a rare but possible cause of hypercalcemia
A 52-year-old woman presented with an 8-month history of epigastric pain, nausea, and weight loss. One year before, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. During the postoperative chemotherapy, she developed epigastric pain and nausea. As a result, she gradually lost 12 kg of her body weight. We performed upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which revealed mild erosive gastritis. After the treatmen...
متن کاملTreatment of idiopathic FSGS with adrenocorticotropic hormone gel.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) has shown efficacy as primary and secondary therapy for nephrotic syndrome due to membranous nephropathy. The data on using ACTH to treat idiopathic FSGS are limited. This report describes our experience using ACTH for nephrotic syndrome due to idiopathic FSGS in the United States. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Twent...
