Secondary Hyperaldosteronism in the Course of Cystic Fibrosis

Erazmus Michał , Kucharska Anna

The electrolyte disorders are commonly considered as symptoms of the endocrine diseases concerning the secretion of aldosterone or antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This study is the case report of the 6-month-old girl admitted to the hospital because of the exacerbation of the chronic cough.

Recurrent Apnea in a Boy Suffering from Congenital Hyperinsulinism in the Course of Diazoxide Treatment

Nowaczyk Jedrzęj , Kucharska Anna

Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is rare disease which prevalence is estimated as 1:2500 to 1:50000 born newborns. Main reason of the disease are genetic mutations in genes responsible for regulation of insulin secretion. First line treatment is diazoxide therapy.Our patient was diagnosed with CHI at the age of 2 months. Biochemical tests prooved diagnosis of CHI. He presented lack of negative feedback and secreted pathologic amount of insulin – dur...

Autoimmune Encephalopathy in a Boy with Graves’ Disease

Kucharska Anna , Kadziela Katarzyna , Pyrzak Beata

Background: Autoimmune encephalopathy is usually reported in patient with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and in Graves’ disease is rather rare, especially in children.Method: We report a boy of 15 years diagnosed with Graves’ disease and treated ineffectively with thyrostatics. After 2 years of the therapy he had recurrence of hyperthyroidism and underwent radical treatment with ablative dose of 131I. After 2 weeks the patient suffered...

The Growth Hormone Treatment and Carbohydrate Metabolism in Children Born Small for Gestational Age

Labochka Dominika , Witkowska-Sedek Ewelina , Milczarek Monika , Kucharska Anna

Background: Children who were born small for gestational age (SGA) or with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) have increased risk of metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus type 2 and coronary disease in adultness. Most of those children after catch-up growth achieve the same growth as their peers. Nevertheless 10 % of them persist finally short as adults. In the last decade some countries introduced the rhGH treatment to impr...

Acanthosis Nigricans as a Presentation of Severe Insulin Resistance in Obese Children

Krajewska Maria , Nowaczyk Jędrzej , Labochka Dominika , Kucharska Anna

Acanthosis nigricans is a common skin presentation of insulin resistance. We may observe different forms of its sevirity. Pathogenesis of this disorder is correlated with an action of insulin to keratinocyte and dermal fibroblasts via interaction with IGFR1.We'd like to present a medical history of two patients admitted to our clinic because of severe acanthosis nigricans. Boys were at the age of 13 and 14 years. We diagnosed carbohydrate metabolism ...

Insulinoma as Initial Presentation of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1

Borowiec Ada , Kucharska Anna , Pyrżak Beata

Background: Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. It is characterized by the occurance of parathyroid, pituitary and pancreatic tumors. MEN1 presented by insulinoma as first presentation in children is very rare. On the other hand insulinoma affects 10% patients with MEN1 and occurs usually in young patients.Case: Eleven years and eight months old girl was admitted, after a syncopal episode ...

Evaluation of ALP Value in Early Prediction of the Effects of Growth Hormone Treatment in Children with Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD)

Witkowska-Sedek Ewelina , Kucharska Anna , Majcher Anna , Pyrzak Beata

Background: Serum bone turnover markers may serve as parameters for predicting the growth response to growth hormone (rhGH) treatment.Objective and hypotheses: Assessment of the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) value in early prediction of the effects of rhGH treatment in children with growth hormone deficiency.Method: The study group consisted of 50 children with GHD. ALP, bone-ALP, vitamin D and I...

The Cytotoxic Ability of NK Cells in Children with Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Kucharska Anna , Popko Katarzyna , Osinska Iwona , Demkow Urszula

Background: In autoimmune thyroiditis type Hashimoto the key role in thyrocytes destruction plays the spontaneous cytotoxic activity of T cells, and antibodies dependent mechanisms are of a less value. A spontaneous cytotoxicity is associated with the number and degree of activity of NK cells. An important role in this process plays perforin contributed in permabilization of target cells.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of the study was to evaluate the ...

Vitamin D Deficiency can Modulate GH/IGF1 Axis in GH Deficient Children

Witkowska-Sedek Ewelina , Kucharska Anna , Majcher Anna , Pyrzak Beata

Background: According to the latest studies vitamin D has an effect on the production and/or secretion of IGF1 in the liver, but the exact mechanism regulating these relationships has not been thoroughly explained.Objective and hypotheses: Evaluation of the relationship between 25(OH)D and IGF1 levels in the serum of children with GH deficiency (GHD).Method: The study group consisted of 76 GH deficient children qualified for GH the...

Influence of Birth Parameters on Growth Response and Metabolic Effects of Growth Hormone (GH) Therapy in GH-deficient Children and Adolescents

Witkowska-Sedek Ewelina , Ruminska Malgorzata , Kucharska Anna M. , Majcher Anna , Pyrzak Beata

Introduction: Growth depends on growth hormone (GH) secretion and on individual sensitivity to its action. The effects of birth parameters on growth and metabolic status are well documented in small-for-gestational-age children, but in children with GH deficiency those associations are not clear. Taking into account that GH-deficient children are not a homogenic group of patients, the importance of an individual approach to GH doses and the assessment of the e...
