Cushing's disease (CD) is a rare disorder caused by an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting pituitary adenoma. Chronic exposure to hypercortisolism leads to significant morbidities, which may be only partially reversible after remission of the disease, as well as to impairment of the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and an increase in mortality. Transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) is the treatment of choice, and recurrence rates vary widely, confirming the need for lifelong follow-up. This review summarises the studies performed on HRQoL, recurrence rates and morbidities in patients who have CD.
库欣病(CD)是一种由分泌促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)的垂体腺瘤引起的罕见疾病。长期暴露于高皮质醇血症会导致严重的发病情况,在疾病缓解后可能仅有部分可逆,还会损害健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)并增加死亡率。经蝶窦手术(TSS)是首选治疗方法,复发率差异很大,这证实了需要进行终身随访。本综述总结了对患有库欣病患者的健康相关生活质量、复发率和发病情况的研究。
