Spontaneous Hypercortisolism without Cushing's Syndrome

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1976
A very high cortisol production rate (CPR) with elevated plasma ACTH was found in a hypertensive, hypokalemic, but otherwise healthy male patient. There were no symptoms or signs of Cushing's syndrome. The hypercortisolism appeared to be of the pituitary dependent type.

Bone involvement in exogenous hypercortisolism

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2008
Corticosteroids remain a key component in the management of many disorders. Bone loss resulting from long-term administration of these drugs is common and osteoporosis induced by corticosteroids is the most frequent cause of secondary osteoporosis in nearly 50% of individuals on chronic corticosteroid therapy suffering from an osteoporotic fracture at ...

Cushing's disease with intermittent hypercortisolism

The American Journal of Medicine, 1986
In a patient with proved pituitary-dependent Cushing's syndrome (Cushing's disease), 24-hour urinary excretion of free cortisol fluctuated between normal (69 percent of the time, often in the low range and for several days in sequence) and high values.

Hypercortisolism (Cushing’s Syndrome)

2017
Hypercortisolism or Cushing’s syndrome is the presence of elevated amounts of cortisol in the body. Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) is released in the hypothalamus, causing release of ACTH from the anterior pituitary. ACTH then acts on the adrenal glands (in the adrenal cortex) to produce cortisol.

[Management of hypercortisolism].

La Revue de medecine interne, 2008
Cushing's syndrome is a rare but frequently considered disease. Its diagnosis can lead to some difficulties, including confirming the effective endogenous hypercortisolism and determining its cause. The severity of this disease, the diversity of its complications and the multiple therapeutic options make its management challenging.

[Hypercortisolism in pregnancy].

Polski merkuriusz lekarski : organ Polskiego Towarzystwa Lekarskiego, 2006
Hipercortisolemia in pregnancy occurs rarely because of menstrual disturbances and infertility in subjects with Cushing syndrome. The diagnosis of pathological hipercorisolemia in pregnant women is often difficult because some symptoms of the disease may be associated with complicated pregnancy.

Etiopathogeny of Primary Adrenal Hypercortisolism

2016
Primary adrenal hypercortisolism is mainly due to cortisol-producing adrenocortical adenomas, bilateral micronodular or macronodular disease, and adrenal carcinomas. Important advances in the pathophysiology of primary adrenal hypercortisolism have been made in the last few years, partly through the use of new molecular biology tools.

[Hypercortisolism and hemostasis].

Polski merkuriusz lekarski : organ Polskiego Towarzystwa Lekarskiego, 2009
Endocrinopathies can cause various changes in coagulation and fibrinolytic mechanisms. Glucocorticoids show particulary important influence on hemostasis. Increased tendency to thromboembolic incidents is observed in either endogenous hypercortisolism or glucocorticoids administration. The aim of this paper was to present the hemostatic disturbances in
