Management of acute hypercortisolism
An occasional patient with Cushing's syndrome may require urgent management primarily because the chronic ravages of hypercortisolism have caused the patient to be in a precarious metabolic condition. The side effects of prolonged excess corticosteroids increase the risk of operations in such patients and must be considered in overall management. Among the many effects of hypercortisolism to be considered are hypertension, diabetes, ocular hypertension, myopathies, dermatologic changes including skin infection, pancreatitis, osteoporosis, pathological fractures, peptic ulcers, renal calculi, coagulopathies, hypokalemia, poor wound healing, and increased susceptibility to infection. The most effective way to avert these complications is by earlier diagnosis and definitive treatment of Cushing's syndrome. The present report includes a review of the etiology and diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome and the management of problems associated with hypercortisolism . Il est possible qu'un malade atteint de maladie de Cushing ait besoin d'ĂȘtre traitĂ© sans attente en raisons de troubles mĂ©taboliques sĂ©vĂšres dus aux effets nocifs de l'hypercortisolisme chronique qui augmentent les risques opĂ©ratoires et doivent ĂȘtre pris en considĂ©ration avant tout traitement. Il en est ainsi de l'hypertension, du diabĂšte, de l'hypertension intra-oculaire, des lĂ©sions dermiques comprenant l'infection cutanĂ©e, la pancrĂ©atite, l'ostĂ©oporose, les fractures pathologiques, l'ulcĂšre peptique, les calculs rĂ©naux, les coagulopathies, l'hypokaliĂ©mie, la lenteur du processus de cicatrisation et l'augmentation de la suceptibilitĂ© Ă l'infection.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/41309/1/268_2005_Article_BF01655367.pd
