hypercortisolism การใช้

• Hypercortisolism, such as in Cushing's syndrome, also leads to central obesity.
• This test should be repeated three times in order to exclude any normally occurring periods of hypercortisolism.
• The corticorelin stimulation test helps to differentiate between the etiologies of adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH )-dependent hypercortisolism.
• Metyrapone is used for the medical control of hypercortisolism in Cushing's syndrome ( ACTH dependent or independent ).
• Cushing's syndrome, or hypercortisolism, occurs when the body's tissues are exposed to too much of the hormone cortisol.
• One of the causes of Cushing's syndrome is a cortisol-secreting adenoma in the cortex of the adrenal gland ( primary hypercortisolism / hypercorticism ).
• The aim for medical treatment is to achieve pre-operative control of hypercortisolism, or for control of residual disease persisting post-operatively ( TSS, adrenalectomy ).
• "' Metyrapone "'( trade name "'Metopirone "') is a drug used in the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency and occasionally in the treatment of Cushing's syndrome ( hypercortisolism ).
• In Cushing's disease a pituitary tumor is the cause of elevated ACTH ( from the anterior pituitary ) and an excess of cortisol ( hypercortisolism )  this constellation of signs and symptoms is known as Cushing's syndrome.
• Cushing's disease refers only to hypercortisolism secondary to excess production of ACTH from a corticotroph pituitary adenoma ( secondary hypercortisolism / hypercorticism ) or due to excess production of hypothalamus CRH ( Corticotropin releasing hormone ) ( tertiary hypercortisolism / hypercorticism ).
• Cushing's disease refers only to hypercortisolism secondary to excess production of ACTH from a corticotroph pituitary adenoma ( secondary hypercortisolism / hypercorticism ) or due to excess production of hypothalamus CRH ( Corticotropin releasing hormone ) ( tertiary hypercortisolism / hypercorticism ).
• Cushing's disease refers only to hypercortisolism secondary to excess production of ACTH from a corticotroph pituitary adenoma ( secondary hypercortisolism / hypercorticism ) or due to excess production of hypothalamus CRH ( Corticotropin releasing hormone ) ( tertiary hypercortisolism / hypercorticism ).
• Mifepristone 300 mg tablets ( Korlym ) have a marketing authorization in the United States from the FDA for the medical treatment of high blood sugar ( hyperglycemia ) caused by high cortisol levels in the blood ( hypercortisolism ) in adults with glucose intolerance and have failed surgery or cannot have surgery.
