Criteria of cure and remission in Cushing's disease: an update

Abstract: We review the clinical and biochemical criteria used for evaluation of the transsphenoidal pituitary surgery results in the treatment of Cushing's disease (CD). Firstly, we discuss the pathophysiology of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in normal subjects and patients with CD. Considering the series published in the last 25 years, we observed a significant variation in the remission or cure criteria, including the choice of biochemical tests, timing, threshold values to define remission, and the interfe… Show more

“…In the present study, plasma cortisol levels considered were < 1.8 μg/dL during the first days after surgery for cure definition -this is a very strict criterion. Notably, the criteria for cure vary significantly in the studies from the last 25 years, justifying the variable surgical cure rates observed (29,30). In addition, the experience of the neurosurgeon is another important factor.…”

“…Nesse cenário, critérios de remissão fidedignos são essenciais para a definição de remissão da DC, e a identificação de marcadores capazes de predizer a recidiva da doença é fundamental para o seguimento desses pacientes (34).…”

“…Os critérios mais aceitos para remissão da DC são a resolução clínica do hipercortisolismo associada a algum dos seguintes critérios: cortisol suprimido após a administração de 1 mg de dexametasona overnight (35)(36)(37), dois ou três CLU dentro do limite da normalidade (9,34,38,39), dependência ao uso de glicocorticoide exógeno por insuficiência adrenal (29,32) ou mesmo algum desses critérios isolados ou em associação. No entanto, a melhor maneira de avaliar a remissão e o risco de recidiva da DC no PO ainda não está definida.…”
