Cushings syndrome is a rare disorder that is associated with many
co-morbidities such as systemic hypertension, diabetes,
osteoporosis, impaired immune function, and psychiatric disease,
all of which severely reduce quality of life and life expectancy.
This book reviews the role of cortisol in the human body, focusing
on the effects of excess cortisol due to Cushing's syndrome as well
as the role of the HPA axis in metabolism, inflammation, and
neuropsychiatric function. The volume will cover basic mechanistic
data, clinical outcomes data, and novel therapies. Also discussed
are everything from abnormalities of the HPA axis, to the role of
the HPA axis in the development of neuropsychiatric disorders and
metabolic disorders, to new definitions of Cushing's remission and
recurrence. The Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal Axis in Health and
Disease will provide a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary review
of the pathophysiology and outcomes of excess cortisol in the human
body and brain as well as the role of the HPA axis in other disease
states.
