متن کاملReports of two cases of selective adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and growth hormone (GH) deficiency: differential diagnosis from cases with isolated ACTH deficiency associated with transient GH insufficiency.
An acquired partial pituitary insufficiency with selective ACTH and GH deficiency was demonstrated in two men aged 47 and 54, for which the clinical course over many years corresponds to Addison's disease. In one of the 2 cases, antibodies to anterior pituitary cell membrane, assayed by an immunofluorescence method with GH3 cells (rat GH and prolactin secreting cell) and AtT-20 cells (mouse ACT...
متن کاملIsolated adrenocorticotropin deficiency presenting with impaired renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and suppressed parathyroid hormone-vitamin D axis.
We report here a 47-year-old woman with isolated adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) deficiency (IAD). She presented impaired renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (R-A-A) system and suppressed parathyroid hormone (PTH)-vitamin D system. She showed severe hyponatremia due to secondary adrenocortical insufficiency, which was deteriorated by hypoaldosteronism. She also showed hyperphosphatemia and relative hyperc...
