Acromegaly is a rare, slowly progressive disorder resulting from excessive growth hormone (GH) production by a pituitary somatotroph tumor. The objective of this study was to examine acromegaly treatment outcomes during long-term care at a specialized pituitary center in patients
BACKGROUND
Long-term remission rates from endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for acromegaly and their relationship to prognostic indicators of disease aggressiveness are not well documented.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate long-term remission rates in patients with acromegaly after endoscopic
OBJECTIVE
Measuring IGF-1, a biomarker for GH activity, is critical to evaluating disordered hypothalamic-pituitary GH axis. Inconsistent IGF-1 measurements among different immunoassays are well documented. We switched from Immulite 2000 immunoassay to narrow-mass-extraction, high-resolution liquid
