M. Cushing ist eine Stoffechselerkrankung mit stark erhöhten Cortisolspiegeln im Blut.
Ursache ist eine verstärkte Cortisolproduktion in der Nebenniere, oft ausgelöst durch eine vermehrte Hormonproduktion (ACTH) in der Hirnanhangdrüse.

You have now exceeded my nerd knowledge. It’s “Isolated ACTH deficiency,” that’s all I know.

Se te nota muy formado en la neurofisiología de los ciclos circadianos y su relación con la secreción de ACTH y melatonina. Enhorabuena, normalmente sólo los neurólogos y algunos otros médicos controlan de eso.

There was also a spectrum of ACTH-independent (post-DST) & ACTH-dependent (post ACTH-stim) production of aldosterone & its precursors. Not surprisingly, this was also observed in 18-hybrid steroid production, highlighting a spectrum of ACTH-mediated CYP11B2 activity. #NephJC

Fun fact: I have an anxiety disorder, but not like you think. My brain produces ACTH, but my adrenal gland takes forever to respond, and when it does it barely bothers to make any adrenaline. So I don't feel anxiety in the normal sense. When other people are freaking out, I'm chill.

7) CRH is the key that starts the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis, the body’s primary stress response system.
It goes something like this: Hypothalamus -> CRH -> Pituitary gland -> ACTH -> Adrenal glands -> Cortisol.

Patients also separately underwent a dexamethasone suppression test (DST) and ACTH-stimulation test. Blood testing following DST and ACTH-stim testing included serum aldosterone, cortisol and 18-hybrid steroids. #NephJC

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) was extracted from 🐖 & 🐑 pituitary glands in the 1940s.
By the 1950s, IM injections of Cortisone and ACTH were first being used for treatment for nephrotic syndrome in children by Arneil and Wilson from Glasgow.

The aetiologies of Cushing syndrome (CS) are primarily caused either by excess circulating adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (ACTH-dependent CS) or by autonomous adrenal production of excess cortisol, independent of ACTH levels. go.nature.com/4jxERu0 #CushingSyndrome

tomorrow we take chip for quarterly testing ACTH & ultra-sound, blood tests & urinalysis- the tests come back not good almost every month & it breaks my heart.

Here’s the deal: low cortisol, low ACTH (hormone that produces cortisol), low DHEA-S (hormone that produces testosterone). It’s not Addison’s.
I went in today for a fundamentally unrelated health issue but the doc and I talked about it. Something’s not quite adding up. CT scan tonight and MRI Fri.

In other news, I got some health results back tonight. I don’t think it’s anything ultimately serious, but until I talk to my doctor again, I guess I won’t know. 😕

Heute den #ACTH Test gemacht, wegen Auschluss von #MorbusAddison (MA) bei mir und Schulung für die mit MA diagnostizierte Tochter.
Als dort ausgesprochen wurde, dass sie stirbt, wenn sie ihr Medikament nicht bekommt (z.B. Unwissen bei Ärzt*innen bei Unfall) wurde mir übel. 😔

In Cushing disease, excess ACTH is produced by a pituitary tumour, which induces adrenal cortisol production. By contrast, in adrenal Cushing syndrome (CS), adrenal lesion(s) produce excess cortisol. Ectopic tumours can also secrete ACTH (termed ‘ectopic ACTH secretion’) and cause CS.
