We report a case of type A insulin resistance syndrome. A 16-year-old girl with BMI of 19.1 kg/m 2 presented with primary amenorrhea and hyperglycemia for two years. Baseline HbA 1C was 10.8%, along with severe hyperinsulinemia, increased total testosterone and free androgen index(FAI). Ultrasonography showed polycystic ovaries. Next generation sequencing identified a novel and de novo heterozygous missense mutation of Trp1220Gly in the insulin receptor gene. Short-term intensive insulin pump treatment was initiated, followed by insulin glargine, pioglitazone and acarbose combination regiment. Fasting blood glucose and insulin levels decreased significantly, but post-load hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia remained unsatisfactory. HbA 1C dropped to 7.6% at 1-year follow up. Patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome who are adolescent-onset and with lean body type should be taken into account of type A insulin resistance syndrome. Currently, there is no standardized treatment protocol, and therapy should be individualized based on the specific gene mutation of each patient.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Metabolic Syndrome triples the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. It is associated with obesity and unhealthy lifestyles. This syndrome is one of the main atherogenic risk factors; consequently, its early diagnosis at the primary health care level is essential. Objective: To deterine the manifestations of the Metabolic Syndrome in people over 60 years of age in three elderly homes in Boyeros Municipality. Material and Methods: A descriptive observational cross-sectional study was carried out. The study universe consisted of 130 people, 103 of whom were interviewed during the period between January 2016 and February 2017.The criteria of the Adult Treatment Panel III were followed for the diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome. Descriptive variables were expressed in percentages and the chi-square statistic was used to compare the study variables. Results: The results obtained showed that 33.01 percent of patients were suffering from Metabolic Syndrome, predominating the people aged 60 to 64 years (44.12 percent) and the female sex (64.71 percent). Furthermore, 97.06 percent presented blood pressures ≥130/85 mmHg and 100 percent of patients had no knowledge of their disease. Conclusions: Metabolic Syndrome predominated in female patients and in those aged 60 to 64 years. The early diagnosis at the primary health care level is poor. This syndrome is associated with abdominal obesity and the risk of cardiovascular disease(AU)

ABSTRACT A literature review on the clinical, laboratory, and treatment features of type B insulin resistance syndrome (TBIRS). Data from PubMed, the Virtual Health Library and Cochrane database were selected and analyzed using the REDCap application and R statistical program. From 182 papers, 65 were selected, which assessed 119 clinical cases, 76.5% in females and 42.9% in African-Americans, with an average age of 44 years. A common feature of TBIRS is co-occurrence of autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (most frequently reported). Hyperglycemia of difficult control was the mostly reported condition. Tests for anti-insulin receptor antibodies were positive in 44.2% of the cases. Disease management comprised fractional diet, insulin therapy (maximum dose given was 57 600 IU/day), plasmapheresis and immunosuppression with several classes of drugs, mainly glucocorticoids. Remission occurred in 69.7% of cases, in 30.3% of these spontaneously. The mortality rate was 15.38%. There was an inverse relationship between anti-insulin antibodies and remission (p = 0.033); and a positive correlation between combined immunosuppressive therapy and remission (p = 0.002). Relapse occurred in 7.6% of the cases. This rare syndrome has difficult-to-control diabetes, even with high doses of insulin, and it is usually associated with autoimmune diseases. Therapeutic advances using immunomodulatory therapy have led to significant improvements in the rate of remission.

Objetive: To analyze the hematological changes of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the clinical characteristics of immune-related hypoglycemia, and to provide the basis for the diagnosis and treatment of SLE complicated with autoimmune hypoglycemia (AIH). Methods: The clinical data a patient with SLE complicated with AIH with pancytopenia as the first manifestation were collected and the relevant literatures were reviewed. Results: A 70-year-old man was admitted to hospital because of dizziness and fatigue, and suffered from more than 3 months, aggravated for 2 weeks. The physical examination results showed pale conjunctiva, moist rales over the both lower lung and there were no other obvious positive signs. The blood test showed pancytopenia and the fasting blood glucose 2. 34 mmol · L-1 The pathomorphology of tissue was observed by bone marrow puncture; rheumatism examinations, glucose metabolism indexes, insulin autoantibodies (IAA) and other assistant examinations were performed, and the patient received the related treatment. The patient had a history of photosensitivity. Admission examinations indicated multiple serous effusions, urinary protein >). 5 g · 24 h-1, pancytopenia, abnormal antinuclear antibody (ANA) titer, pancreatic CT (-), and the patient was diagnosed as SLE complicated AIH finally. After treatment of prednisone, the symptoms of the patient were improved; the the whole blood count and fasting blood glucose responded well to the therapy of prednisone. After discharge from the hospital, the patient was treated with prednisone continuously and was required to regularly monitor the blood test and the blood glucose level. The patient's whole blood count was gradually increased and no hypoglycemia occurred. Conclusion: SLE with hematological changes as the first manifestation is easily misdiagnosed. And autoantibody-mediated glucose homeostasis should be considered when SLE is complicated with hypoglycemia.
RESUMO
Type B insulin resistance syndrome (TBIRS) is known as a rare autoimmune disease which usually presents with con-tinuous hyperglycemia under large amount of insulin. This article described and analyzed the medical treatment of an elderly patient with TBIRS participated by clinical pharmacists. In the whole process of treatment,clinical pharmacists helped physicians establish an individual treatment scheme according to the patient's basic situation,characteristics of blood glucose,pathophysiology and concomitant diseases. On the basis of proper anti-hyperglycemic scheme,clinical pharmacists suggested that the patient be treated with glucocorti-coids and immunoregulators,and then thorough pharmaceutical care was provided for the patient. Finally, the patient's insulin dose decreased and blood glucose was better than that before the admission,which indicated the effect of medical treatment and the value of clinical pharmacists.
RESUMO
Aim To investigate the effect of piperine (PIP)on triglycerides(TG),free fatty acid(FFA), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and leptin of model rats with insulin resistance syndrome(IRS).Methods By feeding rats with high-fat,high-glucose and high-salt diet,IRS model rats were established.Triglycer-ides(TG)was observed dynamically every 4 weeks, treating on the 4th weeks and 8 weeks continuously. TG (method of GOD-POD),FFA (method of colori-metric),TNF-αand leptin (method of ELISA)were measured.Results After 8 weeks treatment,the level of TG,FFA,TNF-αand leptin in PIP group decreased obviously,while it increased in model group signifi-cantly.Conclusions PIP could reduce TG and FFA and improve abnormal lipid metabolism of model rats with IRS significantly.Perhaps the mechanism is relat-ed with the down-regulation of cytokine TNF-αand leptin.
RESUMO
Introducción: el síndrome de resistencia a la insulina es una complicación frecuente en el trasplante renal, derivado de múltiples factores. Objetivo: conocer cuáles alteraciones vinculadas al trasplante renal y su tratamiento constituyen factores de riesgo para la aparición del síndrome de resistencia a la insulina. Métodos: se realizó un estudio de casos y controles en 81 pacientes con trasplante renal, supervivencia del injerto mayor de 1 año y que no fueran diabéticos antes del implante. Se conformaron 2 grupos, uno de enfermos con el síndrome, n=39, según los criterios del ATPIII y otro control, n=42. Para detectar factores de riesgo se compararon: variables pretrasplante (edad del receptor, tiempo en diálisis, cifras de glucemia, colesterol y triglicéridos, índice de masa corporal, infección por el virus de la hepatitis C, antecedentes familiares de diabetes) y variables postrasplante (tratamiento inmunosupresor, dosis de esteroides al tercer mes del trasplante, niveles de ciclosporina A y presencia o no de rechazo). Las variables pretrasplante fueron categorizadas de forma conveniente para análisis univariado y multivariado en el que resultaron estadísticamente significativas, en el estudio univariado: el mayor tiempo en diálisis, la mayor edad del receptor, las cifras elevadas de glucemia pretrasplante, la positividad al virus C, el índice de masa corporal superior a 25 y los antecedentes familiares de diabetes, este último factor fue el único con representatividad estadística en el análisis multivariado. Al analizar las variables vinculadas al tratamiento inmunosupresor solo hallamos que los pacientes con el síndrome tenían valores medios de ciclosporinemia mayores, estadísticamente, que aquellos que no desarrollaron la complicación...
Introduction: the insulin-resistance syndrome (IRS) is a frequent complication in the renal transplantation due to multiple factors. Objective: to know which alterations linked to renal transplantation and its treatment are risk factors for appearance of insulin-resistance syndrome. Methods: a case-control study was conducted in 81 patients underwent renal transplantation, with a graft survival higher than 1 year and not to be diabetics before implant. Two groups were established, one including patients with this syndrome (n=39) according to the ATP-III criteria and another as control (n=42). To detect the risk factors pre-transplantation the following variables were compared: age or receptor, time in dialysis, glycemia figures, cholesterol and triglycerides, body mass index (BMI), infection for hepatitis C and a family history of diabetes and post-transplantation variables included immunosuppressive treatment, dose of steroids at third month post-transplantation, cyclosporine A levels and presence or not of rejection. The pre-transplantation variables were categorized in a suitable way for univariate and multivariate analysis where they were statistically significant, in the univariate study: the largest time in dialysis, the great age of recipient, the high figures of pre-transplantation glycemia, the positive to Virus C, body mass index higher than 25 and family history of diabetes, this latter factor was the only with statistic representativeness in multivariate analysis. Analyzing the variables linked to immunosuppressive treatment, only we note that patients with this syndrome had statistically mean values of cyclosporine higher than those without this complication...

Type B insulin resistance syndrome is rare autoimmune disease that is characterized by various abnormalities of glycemic homeostasis, from hyperglycemia caused by extreme insulin resistance to fasting hypoglycemia. It can combine with other autoimmune diseases, most commonly systemic lupus erythematosus. It usually occurs in women and accompanies acanthosis nigricans, hyperandrogenism, and, in many cases, ovary dysfunction. The diagnosis of type B insulin resistance syndrome is based largely on the presence of insulin receptor autoantibodies and hyperglycemia, or hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. In some cases, patients with the type B insulin resistance have been successfully treated with immunosuppressive therapy and plasmapheresis. We experienced type B insulin resistance syndrome in a patient with chronic hepatitis B and used only plasmapheresis for treatment. The immunosuppressive therapy was omitted due to the state of activation of chronic hepatitis B. We present this case with a review of relevant literature.

Objective A previously reported female diagnosed with type A insulin resistance syndrome bearing a heterozygous missense mutation of R1174W in the insulin receptor gene was followed for 7 years since the age of 16 years. Methods Five-hour oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were done on baseline, the 3rd, 6th and 7th year respectively, with serum insulin and C-peptide measured at the same time points. Areas under of curve (AUC) of glucose, insulin and C-peptide were compared between the years.Acute insulin response (AIR) was determined at baseline and the 7th year. The dose response were insulin secretion rates at each time point during OGTT being plotted over the corresponding glucose levels, and the slopes of which quantified the insulin secretion responding to glucose. Results The follow up data showed that the glucose metabolism of the subject did not deteriorate over time with yearly glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbAlc) being normal (4.6%-5.5%), and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia was a persistent phenomenon observed at 4-5 hours post-load. The fasting and AUCs of serum insulin and C-peptide tended to decline without simultaneously increase of those of plasma glucose. The AIR decreased by 56% as compared to baseline. The dose response curves shifted downward as years went by. Conclusions It supports that with the alleviation of physiological insulin resistance after puberty, the gross hyperinsulinemia tends to ameliorate, and β-cell secretion does not deteriorate over time as glucose homeostasis maintains.

RESUMO
El síndrome de resistencia a la insulina (SRI) es una complicación frecuente y multifactorial vinculada a una evolución poco satisfactoria del injerto renal y del paciente. Se realizó un estudio de casos y controles con 81 pacientes con más de 1 año de trasplante y sin diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus antes del mismo, los casos fueron pacientes con diagnóstico de SRI por al menos 1 de 3 criterios utilizados (NCEP-ATP-III, OMS y FID) y los controles los que no presentaron esta complicación. Determinar frecuencia de SRI, antes y después del trasplante renal, criterios útiles para diagnóstico e impacto sobre la función del injerto, fueron los objetivos de este estudio. Se obtuvo 48,1 por ciento de pacientes con SRI, 18 (22,2 por ciento) desde la etapa pretrasplante y 21 (25,9 por ciento) lo desarrollaron de novo. Según los criterios de la ATP-III y de la FID, se diagnosticaron 31 pacientes (79,4 por ciento), mientras que por el de la OMS sólo se diagnosticó el 41 por ciento, los componentes del síndrome con mayor presencia en la muestra de estudio fueron: hipertensión arterial, hipertrigliceridemia y obesidad abdominal en orden decreciente, lo cual justifica los resultados al aplicar los diferentes criterios diagnósticos. Al comparar intensidad de filtración glomerular y valores de creatinina plasmática según la presencia o no de SRI, los enfermos con SRI presentaron mayor deterioro de la función del injerto aunque no estadísticamente significativo
Insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) is a common multifactorial complication associated with unsatisfactory evolution of the renal graft and the patient. We conducted a case-control study of 81 patients with more than 1 year of transplantation and without a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus before it. The cases were patients with IRS by at least 1 of the 3 criteria used (NCEP-ATP-III, WHO and IDF) and the controls were those who did not present this complication. The objective of the study was to determine the frequency before and after renal transplantation, useful criteria for the diagnosis and impact on graft function. We obtained 48.1 percent of patients with IRS, of whom 18 (22.2 percent) had it from the stage before transplantation and 21 (25.9 percent) developed it de novo. ATP III and IDF criteria diagnosed 31 patients (79.4 percent), while the WHO criterion diagnosed only 41 percent. The components of the syndrome with greater presence in the study sample were: high blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia and abdominal obesity in descending order, which justifies the results obtained when applying the different diagnostic criteria. On comparing the intensity of glomerular filtration and plasma creatinine values according to the presence of IRS, it was found that IRS patients presented greater deterioration of graft function, though it was not statistically significant

Introducción: Se realizó un estudio de cohorte prospectivo, con el objetivo de evaluar la influencia del síndrome metabólico en la aparición de complicaciones cardiovasculares perioperatorias. Objetivos: identificar como contribuyó el síndrome metabólico al incremento de la incidencia de complicaciones cardiovasculares perioperatorias en pacientes quirúrgicos. Método: La selección de la muestra se realizó de forma sistemática en el HMC Dr. Luis Díaz Soto y se conformaron: 1 grupo de 38 pacientes compuesto por individuos portadores de síndrome metabólico y otro de 42 pacientes no portadores de esta enfermedad. Ambos grupos se sometieron a cirugía abdominal con anestesia general endotraqueal. Las principales variables analizadas fueron: tensión arterial sistólica, media y diastólica, frecuencia cardíaca y el trazado electro cardiográfico. Resultados: La hipertensión arterial sistodiastólica, y los trastornos del ritmo cardiaco, en particular las contracciones prematuras supraventriculares y ventriculares fueron las alteraciones detectadas con mayor frecuencia en los pacientes con síndrome metabólico, mostrándose diferencias significativas (p< 0,05) entre los dos grupos. Conclusiones: El síndrome metabólico predispone a la aparición de complicaciones cardiovasculares perioperatorias, además de estar presente de manera frecuente, en pacientes quirúrgicos tributarios de intervención anestesiológica.
Introduction: A prospective cohort study was conducted to assess the influence of metabolic syndrome on appearance of perioperative cardiovascular complications. Aims: To identify how the metabolic syndrome contributed to increase of above mentioned complications in surgical patients. Method: Sample selection was carried out in a systemic way in the "Dr. Luís Díaz Soto" Central Military Hospital including three groups: Group I (38 patients) composed of subjects carriers of metabolic syndrome and another one (42 patients) composed of non-carriers of this condition. Both groups underwent abdominal surgery placed under endothracheal general anesthesia. Main analyzed variables were: systolic, mean and diastolic arterial tension and cardiac rhythm disorders, heart rate and electrocardiographic tracing. Results: Systolic-diastolic arterial hypertension and the cardiac rhythm disorders particularly, the supraventricular early contractions were the more frequent disturbances present in patients presenting with metabolic syndrome with significant differences (p < 0,05) between both groups. Conclusions: Metabolic syndrome predisposes to appearance of perioperative cardiovascular complications as well as being frequently present in surgical patients requiring anesthesia intervention.
RESUMO
Insulin resistance is the main pathophysiologic abnormality of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Insulin resistance and resultant compensatory hyperinsulinemia are closely associated with other important cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and artherosclerosis. Genetic factors and environmental factors such as obesity and physical inactivity contribute to the development of insulin resistance. Recently mitochondrial dysfunction, ER (endoplasmic Reticulum) stress and inflammation has been known to be linked with insulin resistance. At present, lifestyle modification and metformin and thiazolidinediones are known to reduce insulin resistance with some limitations. Considering both clinical importance of insulin resistance and rapid advances in our understanding of pathogenesis of insulin resistance, new therapeutic strategies based on novel molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance are anticipated

We investigated the incidence of insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) according to the criteria of diagnoses suggested by the American College of Endocrinology/ American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and the risk factors associated with the development of IRS. Among 2,048 subjects without a history of/or drug treatment for hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia with normal findings at baseline, 1,578 subjects aged 20-59 yr were followed prospectively for 2 yr. The incidence of IRS was 6.9 per 100 persons/year. The relative risk (RR) due to age was 1.03 (95% CI: 1.00-1.05) with every one-year increase in age. The RR associated with an abnormal waist-hip ratio group (> or =0.9) was increased by 1.74 (95% CI: 1.17-2.58) compared to the normal group ( or =35 IU/L) by 1.70 (95% CI: 1.20-2.41) compared to the normal group ( or =160 mg/L) by 1.70 (95% CI: 1.19-2.44) compared to the normal LDL cholesterol (<160 mg/L). Lastly, the RR of current smokers was increased by 1.63 (95% CI: 1.09-2.42) compared to that of non-smokers. It is necessary to develop methods of prevention and therapeutic approach to manage the integrated risk factors as opposed to individual factors.

PURPOSE: Iron accumulation interferes with hepatic insulin extraction and affects insulin synthesis and secretion. The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between serum ferritin and type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: We compared the serum ferritin level among 18 patients in an impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) group, 36 in a type 1 diabetes group, eight in a type 2 diabetes group and 29 in a healthy control group. The correlation between serum ferritin levels and sex, body mass indices (BMI), blood pressure (BP), serum fasting sugar level and serum fasting insulin level were also analyzed. RESULTS: The mean log ferritin were 1.33+/-0.32 (healthy control group), 1.63+/-0.19 (IGT group) and 1.90+/-0.30 (type 2 diabetes group). In the IGT group, log ferritin was higher than in the healthy control group (P=0.001). The log ferritin of the type 2 diabetes group was higher than that of the healthy control group (P=0.001). Comparing log ferritin to other factors, log ferritin had a significant positive correlation with body mass indices (P< 0.001), systolic blood pressure (P=0.001), and fasting glucose (P= 0.001), fasting insulin (P=0.002). CONCLUSION: Compared to the normal healthy group, serum ferritin concentrations were significantly higher in the IGT group and the type 2 diabetes group. The elevation of serum ferritin concentration may be a risk factor of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Fatores de RiscoRESUMO
BACKGROUND: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is an androgen precursor, and is known to be decreased by the aging process. DHEA has been known to have a protective effect on insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease in men, but remains controversial in women. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of DHEA on insulin resistance, and the risk for cardiovascular disease, in women. METHODS: We analyzed the relationship between DHEA sulfate (DHEAS), known to have a longer half-life and less diurnal variation than DHEA, and insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) in 471 non-diabetic women from an urban community diabetes prevalence study. Serum DHEAS concentrations were measured using a commercially available radioimmunoassay kit. RESULTS: 1. The frequencies of obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, hypertension and dyslipidemia were 25.3, 8.5, 21.9 and 6.2%, respectively, and the frequency of IRS was 16.5%. 2. DHEAS was significantly inversely correlated with age (r=-0.47, p<0.001), systolic blood pressure (r=-0.18, p<0.001), diastolic blood pressure (r=-0.10, p<0.05), fasting serum glucose (r=-0.10, p<0.05), postchallenge 2 hour glucose (r=-0.12, p<0.01) and triglycerides (r=-0.16, p<0.01). 3. As serum DHEAS concentrations, by quartiles, were decreased, the age-adjusted frequency of hypertension was significantly increased (p<0.05). 4. A Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that DHEAS was significantly associated with age (p<0.0001) and BMI (p<0.05). 5. A Logistic regression analysis showed that DHEAS was not associated with IRS after adjustment for age. CONCLUSION: DHEAS is inversely associated with age. DHEAS has no harmful effect, and may even have a protective role, on insulin resistance syndrome. Prospective examinations of DHEAS and insulin resistance syndrome in women are needed to confirm the mechanism for the association between DHEAS and the development of cardiovascular disease.

The purpose of this study was to figure out the characteristics of dietary habits and lifestyles related to the development of insulin resistance syndrome(IRS). The participants in this study were 595 adults with one or more abnormal data from a health examination and 215 normal adults. When IRS was defined as a condition in which the subjects have 2 or more abnormalities among obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and hyperglycemia, the prevalence rate was 37.8%. We classified the 595 adults by the number of components of IRS components they had, the higher age and obesity index they had. Total cholesterol and glucose levels in the blood were also positively related to the number of IRS components. IRS subjects tended to practice less habitual drinking and more exercise and weight control. Coffee consumption and dining out frequency were also lower in the IRS group. An analysis of food habits by odds ratio indicated that total food score was better in the IRS group. However, it appeared that food habits such as \"frequent snacking\" and \"never rejecting offered foods\" need to be improved in IRS subjects. Other undesirable food habits were related to the consumption of eggs, dairy products, fried foods, garlic and onion. Dietary intake of Ca, Fe, riboflavin, Vit A, and energy were less than 75% of the Korean recommended allowance for more than half of the subjects. Nutrient intake was lower, Ca/P ratio from food intake was worse in the IRS group. Our results indicated that nutrition counseling for IRS need to be focused on balanced food intake to supply sufficient amount of each nutrient.

The clustering of insulin resistance with hypertension, glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia, increased triglyceride and decreased HDL cholesterol levels, and central and overall obesity has been called syndrome X, or the insulin resistance syndrome(IRS). To develop a nutrition service for IRS, this study was performed to evaluate the prevalence of each component of the metabolic abnormalities of IRS and analyze the clustering pattern of IRS among subjects living in the Taegu community. Participants in this study were 9234(mean age ; M/F 48/40yrs);63.5% were men, 24.4% were obese, 13.3% had hypertension. 3.7% had hyperglycemia, and 32.4% had hyperlipidemia. The IRS was defined as the coexistence of two or more components among metabolic abnormalities; obesity, hypertension. hyperglucemia and hyperlipidemia. The prevalence of IRS in Taegu was 19.2%(M/F:20.8%/16.4%), the clustering of these fisk variables was higher in advanced age group. Among the subjects of IRS having two of more diseases, 75.6% were obese, the pattern were similar in men and women. The younger, the higher the prevalence of obesity associated clustering patterns. The prevalence of obesity associated patterns among the hyperglycemia associated clustering patterns was 44.5%. The samples of the representative clustering patterns were obesity and hyperlipidemia (8.0%), hypertension and hyperlipidemia(3.2%), hypertension, obesity and hyperlipiemia(3.1%), hypertension and obesity(2.3%), and hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia(0.8%). The clustering of obesity and hyperlipidemia until 50 year old groups, and the clustering of hypertension and hyperlipidemia in the 60 and 70 age groups were the most prevalent. We concluded that insulin resistance syndrome was a relatively common disorder in the Taegu community, and prevalence and the characteristics of the intervention strategies for IRS are desired, an effective improvement will be achieved.

OBJECTIVES: Microalbuminuria predicts cardiovascular mortality in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetses mellitus (NIDDM). Microalbuminuria is frequently associated with high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and central obesity, and has been suggested to be a feature of metabolic syndrome (syndrome X). Metabolic syndrome is also present in Cushings syndrome, which is characterized by primary hypercortisolism as well as profound visceral obesity. Considering common features of Cushings syndrome and metabolic syndrome, microalbuminuria could be a feature of Cushings syndrome. METHODS: We studied urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in 13 patients with Cushings syndrome. UAE was reexamined after the correction of hypercortisolemia in the patients with microalbuminuria or overt proteinuria. Kidney biopsy was performed in 3 patients with microalbuminuria. RESULTS: Eight out of 13 patients (61.5 %) had microalbuminuria. Kidney biopsy revealed apparently normal glomerular structures without evidence of diabetic or hypertensive nephropathy. Patients underwent successful removal of pituitary or adrenal tumors and were reevaluated 2 months after surgery. UAE declined profoundly in all of the patients with initial microalbuminuria. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that more than 60% of patients with Cushings syndrome have microalbuminuria. This rate far exceeds the rate in NIDDM patients and hypertensive patients. Microalbuminuria nearly completely reversed after successful treatment of hypercortisolism.
