Background: Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) is characterized by utero-vaginal atresia in patients with a normal female phenotype and 46, XX karyotype. Various anomalies may accompany MRKH. The number of cases with accompanying hyperandrogenemia is limited.Case presentation: We describe a combination of Mullerian agenesis and hyperandrogenemia (total testosterone level 0.85 ng/ml) in a patient presenting with primary amenorrhea and mild hir...

Introduction and Aim: Pubertal gynecomastia is the transient proliferation of glandular tissue in breasts of men without any endocrin pathology. Relatively higher levels of estrogen than plasma testosteron levels and imbalance between tissue estrogen and testosteron levels are considered to be important in pathogenesis. In this study it is aimed to determine the clinical and laboratory properties of our patients who were diagnosed as pubertal gynecomastia and compare with heal...

Background: The risk of pancreatitis increases when triglyceride levels rise above 1 000 mg/dl. This requires particular attention in subjects with type 2 diabetes, which is accompanied by elevated triglyceride levels in one in every two patients. Apheresis, a treatment option in pancreatitis developing secondary to hypertriglyceridemia, is expensive and not available in every centre. Another option, heparin administration, may result in rebound hypertriglyceridaemia. Thirdly,...

Demographic data, clinical features, laboratory results, thyroid volume, follow-up time, treatment drug were recorded. These patients were divid...

Objective: Vitamin D plays an important role in hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease risk, and glucose/insulin metabolism. The aim of this study is; to investigate the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and metabolic profiles of children with T1DM, atherogenic index, and cardiovascular disease risk.Materials and Methods: T1DM patients were included in the study retrospectively. Anthropometric and clinical measurements, biochem...

Aim: Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is the most important skin complication of obesity. In our study, the relationship of acanthosis nigricans and vitamin D levels was evaluated in children.Methods: Obese children aged between 6 and 18 years old, who were examined in the pediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic, were included. The patients’ anthropometric measurements and laboratory results and vitamin D levels were rec...

Objectives: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by Sertoli cells in the testicles and granulosa cells in the ovaries. Increased abdominal adipose tissue initiates metabolic and endocrine disorders and predisposes to polycystic ovary syndrome. AMH is used as a marker in PCOS. A decrease in AMH levels has been reported in adults with obesity and increased central adiposity. The purpose of this study was to assess the serum AMH level and related factors...
