Zespół Cushinga w przebiegu ektopowego wydzielania ACTH

Abstract: Cushing's syndrome (CS) is defined as a constellation of clinical signs and symptoms occurring due to hypercortisolism. Cortisol excess may be endogenous or exogenous. The most common cause of CS is glucocorticoid therapy with supraphysiological (higher than in the case of substitution) doses used in various diseases (e.g. autoimmune). One possible CS cause is ectopic (extra-pituitary) ACTH secretion (EAS) by benign or malignant tumours. Since its first description in 1963, EAS aetiology has changed, i.e. as w… Show more

“…The latter is associated with prolonged glucocorticoid use (e.g. in patients with autoimmune diseases) [2]. The incidence of endogenous Cushing's syndrome is reported as low; however, this is due to under-evaluation of patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, obesity, or hypertension.…”

“…Cortisol is secreted in a pulsating manner that is subject to circadian rhythms, and negative and positive feedback may depend on exogenous factors and numerous genetic variants determining the sensitivity of the cortisol receptor, which in turn, might alter its level and impact on clinical manifestations [6]. This may lead to misinterpretation of laboratory results and incorrect diagnosis [8,9]. Another problem raised by many other authors is the lack of sufficient validation of studies assessing the correlation of HCC with other biological samples [20,36,40].…”

“…However, determination of cortisol concentrations at night might be difficult for outpatient departments due to the working hours of laboratories. Serum cortisol is also assessed in dexamethasone suppression test, Synacthen stimulation test, corticotrophin releases hormone (CRH), or vasopressin stimulation tests used in the diagnosis and differentiation of cortisol level disorders [8,9].…”

“…W okresach postu umożliwiają utrzymanie fizjologicznych stężeń glukozy we krwi poprzez zmniejszenie jej wychwytu i wykorzystania w mięśniach oraz przez stymulację wątrobowej produkcji glukozy (glukoneogeneza i glikogenoliza) [2]. Nadmiar GKS -spowodowany guzami przysadki, ektopowym wydzielaniem hormonu adrenokortykotropowego (ACTH, adrenocorticotropic hormone) guzami nadnerczy, albo pochodzenia egzogennego -prowadzi do licznych efektów niepożądanych, obejmujących otyłość trzewną, upośledzoną homeostazę glukozy, dyslipidemię oraz nadciśnienie tętnicze [3]. Podwyższone stęże-nia kortyzolu w surowicy nasilają uwalnianie glukozy z wątroby poprzez indukcję enzymów glukoneogenezy: glukozo-6-fosfatazy, fruktozo- …”

“…During periods of fasting they enable maintenance of physiological blood glucose levels by decreasing glucose uptake and utilisation in muscle and by stimulating hepatic glucose production (gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis) [2]. However, GC excess -caused either by pituitary tumours, ectopic ACTH secretion, adrenal tumours, or of exogenous origin -leads to several adverse effects, comprising visceral obesity, impaired glucose homeostasis, dyslipidaemia, and hypertension [3]. Increased serum cortisol levels enhance hepatic glucose output by induction of the gluconeogenesis enzymes: glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) [4].…”
