    Abstract Mifepristone is the only glucocorticoid receptor antagonist currently approved for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome. Although originally developed as an abortifacient due to its blockade of the progesterone receptor, a number of case reports documented its efficacy as a glucocorticoid receptor blocker going back to 1985. The SEISMIC trial, published in 2012, provided sufficient data on efficacy and adverse effects for regulatory approval. Mifepristone provides clear benefits on glycemia, blood pressure, muscle weakness, body weight and the other myriad clinical manifestations of Cushing's syndrome. However, because it blocks the glucocorticoid receptor, blood cortisol and ACTH levels actually rise, rather than fall; this complicates patient management. Doses are adjusted based on clinical manifestations rather than hormone levels. Adverse effects include adrenal insufficiency due to overdosage, hypokalemia, and menorrhagia. Treatment of severe adrenal insufficiency requires high doses of dexamethasone. Other glucocorticoid receptor blockers without effects on the progesterone receptor are being developed. Because mifepristone inhibits CYP3A and CYP2C8/2C9, drug-drug interactions can occur. These potential adverse effects can largely be avoided with careful attention to detail. My opinion is that its current place in therapy is in patients with severe disease and in those not responding to other treatments.

    Abstract There can potentially be a number of clinical interactions that could adversely affect patient outcomes in a patient with a prolactinoma and psychiatric disease that might require antipsychotic and dopamine agonist treatment. Dopamine agonists stimulate the dopamine D2 receptor, resulting in a decrease in prolactin (PRL) levels and in prolactinoma size but action on dopamine receptors in the meso-limbic system may rarely cause psychosis and more commonly cause impulse control disorders. The psychiatric benefits of antipsychotic agents involve blocking the D2 and other dopamine receptors but this blockade often also causes hyperprolactinemia. In patients with macroprolactinomas and psychosis, observation, estrogen/progestin replacement, and surgery can be considered in addition to dopamine agonists. In those who require dopamine agonists for PRL and tumor size control, the introduction of antipsychotics may blunt this effect, so that higher doses of the dopamine agonists may be needed. Alternatively, antipsychotics that have less of a blocking effect at the D2 receptor, such as aripiprazole, can be tried, if appropriate. For patients already on antipsychotic drugs who are found to have a macroprolactinoma for which dopamine agonists are required, dopamine agonists can be initiated at low dose and the dose escalated slowly. However, such patients require careful monitoring of psychiatric status to avoid the rare complication of exacerbation of the underlying psychosis. Again, if appropriate, use of antipsychotics that have less of a blocking effect at the D2 receptor may allow lower doses of dopamine agonists to be used in this situation.

    Abstract The most common cause of kidney failure in the United States and across the world is diabetes mellitus (DM). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in persons with diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) further increases overall CVD risk. It is important to individualize glycemic targets for patients to maintain glucose levels that will reduce the development and progression of complications while avoiding hypoglycemia. CKD alters the relationship of glucose levels to measures of long-term control, such as hemoglobin A

    Abstract Prolactin levels are increased in chronic kidney disease (CKD) as a result of reduced clearance and increased secretion. Hyperprolactinemia manifests as galactorrhea and hypogonadism. Treatment of hyperprolactinemia should focus on improving bothersome galactorrhea or hypogonadism by using dopamine agonists and/or replacement of sex hormone(s). Changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in CKD are characterized by increases in adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol levels, largely preserved circadian rhythms of ACTH and cortisol, and a normal response of cortisol to ACTH, metyrapone, and insulin-induced hypoglycemia. However, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is less inhibited by 1 mg dexamethasone but retains normal suppression by higher-dose dexamethasone. Diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency in CKD patients, as in normal subjects, usually is made by finding a subnormal cortisol response to ACTH. The mainstay of treatment of adrenal insufficiency is to replace glucocorticoid hormone. Cushing's disease in CKD is difficult to diagnose and relies on the dexamethasone suppression test and the midnight salivary cortisol test because the 24-hour urine free cortisol test is not useful because it is increased already in CKD. Treatment of Cushing's disease involves surgery, complemented by radiation and/or medical therapy if necessary. Growth hormone levels are increased and insulin-like growth factor 1 levels are normal in patients with CKD. In a normal patient with CKD, as in one with acromegaly, there can be a paradoxic increase in growth hormone after an oral glucose load. Therefore, diagnosis of acromegaly in renal insufficiency is challenging. The treatment of choice for acromegaly is surgery, although data for medical treatment for acromegaly in CKD are rare. In patients with renal impairment, arginine vasopressin levels are increased as a result of decreased clearance, and there also is impairment of arginine vasopressin signaling in renal tubules. Diabetes insipidus can be masked in advanced kidney disease until kidney transplantation. Diagnosis of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone is similar in mild or moderate kidney disease as in normal subjects, but is challenging in patients with advanced kidney disease owing to the impairment in urine dilution.
