Endocrine disease

Résumé

Endocrine diseases are disorders of the endocrine system. The branch of medicine associated with endocrine disorders is known as endocrinology. Broadly speaking, endocrine disorders may be subdivided into three groups: Endocrine gland hypofunction/hyposecretion (leading to hormone deficiency) Endocrine gland hyperfunction/hypersecretion (leading to hormone excess) Tumours (benign or malignant) of endocrine glands Endocrine disorders are often quite complex, involving a mixed picture of hyposecretion and hypersecretion because of the feedback mechanisms involved in the endocrine system. For example, most forms of hyperthyroidism are associated with an excess of thyroid hormone and a low level of thyroid stimulating hormone. Diabetes Type 1 Diabetes Type 2 Diabetes Gestational Diabetes Mature Onset Diabetes of the Young Hypoglycemia Idiopathic hypoglycemia Insulinoma Glucagonoma Goitre Hyperthyroidism Graves-Basedow disease Toxic multinodular goitre Hypothyroidism Thyroiditis Hashimoto's thyroiditis Thyroid cancer Thyroid hormone resistance Parathyroid gland disorders Primary hyperparathyroidism Secondary hyperparathyroidism Tertiary hyperparathyroidism Hypoparathyroidism Pseudohypoparathyroidism Osteoporosis Osteitis deformans (Paget's disease of bone) Rickets Osteomalacia Diabetes insipidus Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH) Hypopituitarism (or Panhypopituitarism) Pituitary tumors Pituitary adenomas Prolactinoma (or Hyperprolactinemia) Acromegaly, gigantism, dwarfism Cushing's disease Disorders of sex development or intersex disorders Hermaphroditism Gonadal dysgenesis Androgen insensitivity syndromes Hypogonadism (Gonadotropin deficiency) Inherited (genetic and chromosomal) disorders Kallmann syndrome Klinefelter syndrome Turner syndrome Acquired disorders Ovarian failure (also known as Premature Menopause) Testicular failure Disorders of Puberty Delayed puberty Precocious puberty Menstrual function or fertility disorders Amenorrhea Polycystic ovary syndrome Multiple endocrine neoplasia MEN type 1 MEN type 2a MEN type 2b Carcinoid syndrome Autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes Incidentaloma - an unexpected finding on diagnostic imaging, often of endocrine glands In endocrinology, medical emergencies include diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, hypoglycemic coma, acute adrenocortical insufficiency, phaeochromocytoma crisis, hypercalcemic crisis, thyroid storm, myxoedema coma and pituitary apoplexy.
