Primary Adrenal Insufficiency During Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Treatment in Advanced Thyroid Cancer Patients (ENDOExpo) - Feb 7, 2020 - Abstract #ENDO2020ENDO_3425; The appearance of fatigue, the typical symptom of PAI, could be multifactorial in these pts due also to the direct effect of TKIs treatment. Thus, in these cases is very difficult to recognize the cause of fatigue and to decide the appropriate treatment (cortisone acetate replacement therapy vs TKIs dose reduction).

Journal: Hyperthyroidism and hypopituitarism: two incompatible diagnoses? (Pubmed Central) - Jan 31, 2020 Therapy with cortisone acetate, L-thyroxine and testosterone was started, resulting in prolonged normalization of the clinical picture...In a few months span H disappeared and central hypothyroidism manifested again, so that the patient is still taking replacement therapy. This case illustrates how H and hypopituitarism are not mutually exclusive diagnoses and how, even if rarely, central hypothyroidism and H could alternate in the clinical history of the same patient.

Journal: PRIMARY ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY DURING LENVATINIB OR VANDETANIB AND IMPROVEMENT OF FATIGUE AFTER CORTISONE ACETATE THERAPY. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 21, 2019 Patients with PAI received cortisone acetate (CA) replacement therapy, with a significant and prompt improvement in the degree of fatigue, as assessed by the CTCAE Version 4.03, thus supporting the major impact of the impaired adrenal function in the genesis of this adverse event. We show for the first time that the occurrence of PAI may be a frequent cause of fatigue during Lenvatinib and Vandetanib treatment, and we thus recommend testing adrenal function for a prompt start of replacement therapy in order to avoid discontinuation of treatment or dose reduction, as well as potentially severe PAI complications.

Journal: Dual-release hydrocortisone vs conventional glucocorticoids in adrenal insufficiency. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 30, 2019 No significant differences between high and low doses of both conventional GCs and DR-HC were observed. DR-HC is associated with an improvement of metabolic parameters and cardiovascular risk compared to conventional GCs, which are associated with a worsening of these parameters, regardless of the dose used.
