To help patients with hypothalamic-pituitary disorders (patient's school) Itsenko-Cushing's disease

Abstract

Itsenko-Cushing's disease (syndrome) is a disease associated with excessive blood levels of corticosteroids - hormones produced by small glands located above the kidneys and therefore called the adrenal glands. The main role in the changes occurring in the body with this disease is played by the hormone cortisol. These disorders can develop for a number of reasons, and therefore it is often necessary to conduct several tests to determine the cause of the disease.
