Measuring Bone Characteristics and Derangement in Patients With Adrenal Incidentaloma
High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography can be used to assess bone abnormalities in patients with adrenal incidentaloma.
Hypercortisolism
Mifepristone an Effective Alternative to Surgery for Patients With Bilateral Macronodular Adrenal Hyperplasia
Mifepristone may be an effective alternative to adrenalectomy in patients with hypercortisolism caused by primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia.
Hypertension Associated With Glucocorticoid Sensitivity and Activity in Women Without Hypercortisolism
Hypertension may be associated with degree of glucocorticoid suppression and peripheral activation in postmenopausal women.
High Prevalence of Diabetes in Patients With Primary Aldosteronism
Prevalence of diabetes is higher in patients with primary aldosteronism and was found to be related to suspected subclinical hypercortisolism.
How Does Chronic Exposure to Cortisol Affect Turner Syndrome Comorbidities?
Chronically high cortisol levels in Turner syndrome are linked to short stature, elevated total cholesterol levels, and possibly a greater risk for cardiovascular disease.
Increased Cosecretion of Cortisol Linked to Impaired Glucose Metabolism in Primary Aldosteronism
Autonomous cortisol secretion is common in patients with primary aldosteronism and is associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes.
Study Identifies Major Risk Locus for Addison’s Disease
BACH2 is a major risk locus for Addison’s disease, according to a study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine.
Complexities of Cushing’s Syndrome
Advances in genetics may hold the key to improving diagnosis and treatment of Cushing’s syndrome, but issues still remain.
‘Silent’ Adrenal Tumors May Still Increase Cardiovascular Risk
Patients with adrenal tumors of intermediate phenotype or subclinical Cushing’s syndrome are at increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality compared to those with stable non-secreting adrenal incidentalomas.
