Hyperandrogenism Hyperandrogenism, also known as androgen excess, is a medical condition characterized by excessive levels of androgens (male sex hormones such as testosterone) in the female body and the associated effects of the elevated androgen levels. It is an endocrinological disorder similar to hyperestrogenism. The most common conditions associated with hyperandrogenism are polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS, a set of symptoms caused by androgen excess in females, and various cancers that can cause androgen excess.

Hypervolemia Hypervolemia is a medical condition which occurs when your body retains more water than your body needs. It is also referred to as fluid overload. Your kidneys are what usually controls the process of excess water and if this mechanism is disrupted it can cause the fluids to disperse into the tissues of your body. Hypervolemia can also cause an elevated volume of blood.

Antiandrogen Antiandrogens, also known as androgen antagonists or testosterone blockers, are a class of drugs which prevent androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from mediating their biological effects in the body. They act by blocking the androgen receptor (AR) and/or inhibiting or suppressing androgen production.

Hyperaemia Reactive hyperaemia or venous hyperemia is the transient increase in organ blood flow that occurs following a brief period of ischaemia. Following ischaemia there will be a shortage of oxygen and a build-up of metabolic waste.

Reactive Hyperemia: Definition & Test Reactive hyperemia refers to the temporary increase ('hyper') of blood flow ('emia') to an area as a result of (or reaction to) ischemia, or an arterial blockage ('isch', meaning to stop or block, 'emia', meaning blood flow).esson Summary. Reactive hyperemia refers to a temporary increase in blood flow to an area after a period of arterial occlusion. Vasodilators secreted by blood deprived cells dilate deprived vessels ensuring that, post occlusion, blood will experience minimal resistance when resupplying the area.

Hyperammonemia Hyperammonemia-hyperornithinemia-homocitrullinuria (HHH): These infants present in the first few weeks of life with seizures, feeding difficulty, and altered level of consciousness. A defect in transport of ornithine from cytosol into mitochondria causes hyperornithinemia, and disruption of the urea cycle causes hyperammonemia.

- www.turner-white.com Hospital Physician October 2008 25 H yperandrogenism is characterized by excess production of androgens by the ovaries and/or the adrenal glands. The most common clinical manifestation of hyperandrogenism in women is hirsutism, excessive terminal hair growth in androgen-dependent areas of the body. Other clini-cal manifestations of hyperandrogenism include acne vulgaris, weight gain, menstrual irregularities, and, in some women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), acanthosis nigricans.

- The most important goal in the clinical evaluation of a patient with hirsutism is to rule out significant underlying disease. To do this, seek to understand the cause of hyperandrogenism, if this is present. Excess androgens can be from either an exogenous or an endogenous source.

Acromegaly Acromegaly (hypersomatotropism) is an endocrine disorder characterized by progestin-induced hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) by mammary hyperplasia, with resultant overgrowth of the soft tissue, bone, and viscera. In humans and cats, acromegaly is commonly caused by pituitary adenomas producing GH. Rare cases of pituitary adenomas resulting in acromegaly have been reported in dogs, but acromegaly is usually caused by GH production at hyperplastic mammary glands or mammary adenocarcinoma.

Androgen Excess Androgen excess is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Androgens are produced primarily from the adrenal glands and the ovaries. However, peripheral tissues such as fat and skin also play roles in converting weak androgens to more potent ones.

- Estrogen deficiency can lead to lack of menstruation (amenorrhea), persistent difficulties associated with menopause (such as mood swings and vaginal dryness), and osteoporosis in older age. In cases of estrogen deficiency, natural and synthetic estrogen preparations may be prescribed. Estrogen is also a component of many oral contraceptives. An overabundance of estrogen in men causes development of female secondary sexual characteristics (feminization), such as enlargement of breast tissue.

Hyperparathyroidism: Disease of the Parathyroid Glands. Hyperparathyroidism is the main disease of parathyroid glands. It is a slowly destructive disease that makes people feel bad while it slowly destroys many tissues of the body. Hyperparathyroidism is caused the over-production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by one or more parathyroid tumors. Almost all patients with high calcium in the blood have one or two bad parathyroid glands that is causing it. 2  Your doctor may look for other causes... 3  but the overwhelming odds are that you will end up with parathyroid disease.

Secondary Hyperaldosteronism Hyperaldosteronism is a condition in which the adrenal gland releases too much of the hormone called aldosterone. Secondary Hyperaldosteronism is dependent upon the underlying causative factors and can occur at any age. It is mainly caused by a reduced blood flow to the kidneys with resultant overproduction of aldosterone.

Hyperaemia [edit on Wikidata] Hyperaemia, hyperæmia, or hyperemia (Greek ὑπέρ (hupér, “over”) + αἷμα (haîma, “blood”)) is the increase of blood flow to different tissues in the body. It can have medical implications, but is also a regulatory response, allowing change in blood supply to different tissues through vasodilation.
