“…In every case, situations associated with false-positive GH and IGF-1 results were excluded (pregnancy, thyroid dysfunction, puberty, malnutrition, diabetes, kidney or liver disease, and drugs including anovulatory agents, estrogens or corticosteroids). After this step, laboratory anomalies were interpreted as follows (1,(7)(8)(9). The diagnosis of biochemically active acromegaly was unequivocal (elevated IGF-1 for gender and age with nadir GH > 1 µg/L) in two patients (patients 1 and 10 in table 2).…”

“…It is characterized by an autonomous secretion of cortisol secondary to an underlying pituitary adenoma. Pituitary adenomas are thought to affect 10.6% of the population, mostly undiagnosed and asymptomatic, and among these, up to 13.8% may be adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting (1,2). CD is more common in female patients and has the highest incidence during the fourth decade of life.…”

“…A avaliação hormonal dos microadenomas deve incluir dosagens séricas de PRL, GH e IGF-1, enquanto que, nos macroadenomas, deve-se realizar a avaliação laboratorial hormonal completa a fim de investigar também a presença de hipopituitarismo (148) .…”

“…O hipopituitarismo, que habitualmente não é indicação para a cirurgia, pode ser revertido, especialmente nos casos com hiperprolactinemia (148) . Até o momento, não há tratamento medicamentoso para os ACNF eficaz e preconizado como rotina.…”
