皮质醇增多症患者肾上腺切除术后激素替代

Steroid Replacement Therapy Following Adrenalectomy in Patients with Cushing Syndrome

目的探讨皮质醇增多症患者术后激素替代方法。方法回顾分析75例皮质醇增多症术后激素替代方法和效果。结果围手术期给予超生理剂量糖皮质激素,逐渐减量,出院时每日口服强的松5～7.5mg。肾上腺皮质腺瘤患者激素替代时间为4～15个月,双侧肾上腺切除术者终生激素替代。8例肾上腺皮质腺瘤在激素减量过程中出现肾上腺皮质功能减退症状,其中2例血浆皮质醇在正常范围。结论皮质醇增多症患者术后在激素减量过程中即使血浆皮质醇水平在正常范围也可能有肾上腺皮质功能减退症状。

Objective To investigate the methods of steroid supplement following adrenalectomy in the patients with Cushing syndrome.Methods The methods and outcome of steroid supplement following adrenalectomy in 75 cases of Cushing syndrome were retrospectively reviewed.Results Supraphysiological doses of glucocorticoid was given during the perioperative period,and the dosage was reduced gradually.Prednisone with a dosage of 5 to 7.5 mg was given once a day on discharge.In the patients with adrenocortical adenoma,4 to 15 month of steroid supplement was required.The patients undergoing bilateral adrenalectomy required lifelong steroid supplementation.Steroid withdrawal syndrome occurred during steroid tapering in 8 patients with adrenocortical adenoma,2 of them had normal plasma cortisol level.Conclusion In the patients with Cushing syndrome,even those with normal plasma cortisol level might have steroid withdrawal syndrome episodes during steroid tapering.
