Acromegaly
Answers question such as what causes this, how common it is, how it is diagnosed and how it is treated .Category Health Conditions and Diseases Pituitary acromegalyWhat Causes acromegaly? acromegaly is caused by prolonged overproductionof GH by the pituitary gland. How Common is acromegaly?
http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/endo/pubs/acro/acro.htm

Extractions: Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that results when the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone (GH). It most commonly affects middle-aged adults and can result in serious illness and premature death. Once recognized, acromegaly is treatable in most patients, but because of its slow and often insidious onset, it frequently is not diagnosed correctly. The name acromegaly comes from the Greek words for "extremities" and "enlargement" and reflects one of its most common symptoms, the abnormal growth of the hands and feet. Soft tissue swelling of the hands and feet is often an early feature, with patients noticing a change in ring or shoe size. Gradually, bony changes alter the patient's facial features: the brow and lower jaw protrude, the nasal bone enlarges, and spacing of the teeth increases. Overgrowth of bone and cartilage often leads to arthritis. When tissue thickens, it may trap nerves, causing carpal tunnel syndrome, characterized by numbness and weakness of the hands. Other symptoms of acromegaly include thick, coarse, oily skin; skin tags; enlarged lips, nose and tongue; deepening of the voice due to enlarged sinuses and vocal cords; snoring due to upper airway obstruction; excessive sweating and skin odor; fatigue and weakness; headaches; impaired vision; abnormalities of the menstrual cycle and sometimes breast discharge in women; and impotence in men. There may be enlargement of body organs, including the liver, spleen, kidneys and heart.

Extractions: Acromegaly is the Greek word for "extremities" and "enlargement." When the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormones, this results in excessive growth called acromegaly. The excessive growth occurs first in the hands and feet, as soft tissue begins to swell. Acromegaly affects mostly middle-aged adults. Untreated, the disease can lead to severe illness and death. Symptoms of acromegaly vary depending on how long the patient has had the disease. The following are the most common symptoms.

http://www.medstudents.com.br/endoc/endoc8.htm

Extractions: Medstudents' Homepage Introduction Acromegaly/Gigantism is a very rare disease (annual incidence: 3/1.000.000). The syndrome results from a chronic exposure to GH (Growth Hormone) leading to the classic clinical features that the diagnosis seems to be easy. High exposure to GH produces gigantism in youths prior to epiphyseal fusion and acromegaly in adults. The early diagnosis and intervention may prevent irreversible changes associated with chronic overproduction of GH (as well IGF-1) and may also normalize life expectancy. These patients have an increased mortality rate from systemic sequela of hypersomatotrophism in 2-4 times that of the healthy population. Acromegaly/Gigantism is the second in frequency of Pituitary Adenomas, accounting for about 17% of them. It is often caused by a pituitary adenoma GH secreting (99%), but other causes has been described such as: A rare form caused by hypersecretion of GHRH from an ectopic source (pancreatic islet or carcinoid tumors) or from within the central nervous system such as ganglyoneuroma (called eutopic ). Even more rare form is a

Extractions: acromegaly By Gail Hendrickson, RN, BS Acromegaly is excessive bone growth. It results when a person's body produces too much growth hormone. The condition causes gradual enlargement of the bones in the face, jaw, hands, feet, and skull. What is going on in the body? Most cases of acromegaly are caused by a pituitary tumor that is benign, which means that it is not cancer. The tumor causes the pituitary gland to make excess hormones. The high level of growth hormone produces changes in many tissues and organs. Acromegaly occurs after growth has been completed. In most cases, it begins between the ages of 30 and 50. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? Acromegaly develops slowly. In many people, the changes are so slow that they are not noticed for years. Some of the signs and symptoms of acromegaly include: coarse body hair deep, husky voice erectile dysfunction exaggerated facial features excessive sweating and often an offensive body odor headaches irregular menstrual cycles irritability joint pain protrusion of the jaw swelling of the hands and feet thickening of the ribs, creating a barrel chest
