Diseases of the endocrine system and metabolic disorders (endocrinology)

Non-diabetes mellitus

Non-diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by diabetes, an increase in plasma osmolarity, arousing the thirst mechanism, and compensatory consumption of a large amount of fluid.

Syndrome of inadequate production of vasopressin

Excessive production of vasopressin may be adequate, ie, it occurs as a result of the physiological response of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland in response to appropriate stimuli (blood loss, diuretics, hypovolemia, hypotension, etc.), and inadequate.

Treatment of the syndrome of persistent galactorrhea-amenorrhea

Drug therapy occupies the main place in the treatment of all forms of the syndrome of persistent galactorrhea-amenorrhea of the hypothalamic-pituitary genesis. With adenomas, it is supplemented or competing with neurosurgical intervention or with remote radiation therapy.

Persistent galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome: a review of information

The syndrome of persistent galactorrhea-amenorrhea is a characteristic clinical symptom complex that develops in women due to a prolonged increase in the secretion of prolactin. In rare cases, a similar symptom complex develops at a normal serum level of prolactin, which has an excessively high biological activity.

Nelson's syndrome

Nelson's syndrome is a disease characterized by chronic adrenal insufficiency, hyperpigmentation of the skin, mucous membranes and the presence of a pituitary tumor. It occurs after removal of the adrenal glands during the Itenko-Cushing disease.

Treatment of Itenko-Cushing's disease

To treat the disease, pathogenetic and symptomatic methods are used. Pathogenetic methods are aimed at normalization of pituitary-adrenal relationships, symptomatic - to compensate for metabolic disorders.

What provokes Isenko-Cushing's disease?

The cause of the disease is not established. In women, Itenko-Cushing's disease often occurs after childbirth. In the history of patients of both sexes there are head injuries, brain concussion, skull injuries, encephalitis, arachnoiditis and other CNS lesions.

Itsenko-Cushing's disease: an overview of information

Illness of Itenko-Cushing is one of the most severe neuroendocrine diseases, the pathogenesis of which is caused by the violation of regulatory mechanisms that control the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system.

Pachiderma

Pachidermoperiodosis (Greek pachus - thick, dense, derma - skin and periostosis - non-inflammatory change of the periosteum) is a disease whose leading sign is a massive thickening of the skin of the face, skull, hands, feet and distal sections of long tubular bones.

Treatment of acromegaly and gigantism

Treatment of acromegaly should be comprehensive and conducted taking into account the form, stage and phase of disease activity. First of all, it is aimed at reducing the level of growth hormone in the blood serum by suppressing, destroying or removing the active STG-secreting tumor, which is achieved with the help of radiological, surgical, pharmacological methods of treatment and their combination.
