Stem cell therapy in adrenal insufficiency

Steenblock Charlotte , Oikonomakos Ioannis , Malyukov Maria , Bornstein Stefan

Primary adrenal insufficiency is due to impairment of the adrenal gland with ~80% of the cases being due to autoimmune adrenalitis (Addison’s disease). Other cases of primary adrenal insufficiency might be idiopathic, caused by adrenal metastases, or due to congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Adrenal insufficiency might also be induced by infectious diseases e.g. COVID-19 and, as seen lately in an increasing number of patients, by novel medications targeting hypertension and ...

New applications of steroid metabolomics to adrenal tumours

Prete Alessandro

Steroid biosynthesis and metabolism are reflected by the serum steroid metabolome and, in even more detail, by the 24-hour urine steroid metabolome, which can provide unique insights into alterations of steroid flow and output indicative of underlying conditions. Mass spectrometry-based steroid metabolome profiling has allowed for the identification of unique steroid signatures associated with disorders of steroid biosynthesis and metabolism that can be used for personalised a...
