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.

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 کاملThyroid dysfunction in isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency: case report and literature review.
