Acromegaly, also called as gigantism, is a rare disease in which you make too much growth hormone. Due to this there are various symptoms which slowly develop over several years. Common symptoms are that your hands and feet become larger, and features of your face may become more prominent. The cause is usually a small non-cancerous tumor in the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland lies just below the brain. Pituitary hormone produces several hormones, including growth hormone. (A hormone is a chemical that is made in one part of the body, passes into the bloodstream, and then can have effects on other parts of the body.) Hormone secreted by the body is partly controlled by other hormones which come from a small part of the brain called the hypothalamus. This is just above the pituitary. It makes growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) which stimulates the pituitary to make growth hormone when the blood level of growth hormone is low. It also makes a hormone called somatostatin which prevents the pituitary from making growth hormone when the level of growth hormone is high. Growth hormone helps to stimulate growth and repair of various body tissues. It is needed in childhood to help children to grow. Growth hormone acts on some tissues directly. Causes The cause of acromegaly is pituitary gland overproducing growth hormone (GH) over time. Secretion of GH into your bloodstream triggers your liver to produce a hormone called insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Excess of IGF-I can cause abnormal growth of your soft tissues and skeleton and other signs and symptoms characteristic of acromegaly and gigantism.A tumor is the most common cause of too much GH production in adults:Tumors of Pituitary. Majority of acromegaly cases are caused by a noncancerous (benign) tumor (adenoma) of the pituitary gland. The tumor secretes excessive amounts of growth hormone, causing many of the signs and symptoms of acromegaly. Some of the symptoms of acromegaly, such as headaches and impaired vision, are due to the tumor mass pressing on nearby brain tissues.Tumors from other sites. Tumors in other parts of the body, such as the lungs, pancreas or adrenal glands, cause the disorder in a few people with acromegaly. Sometimes, these tumors actually secrete GH. In other cases, the tumors produce a hormone called growth hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH), which stimulates the pituitary to make more GH.Dr. Gadge's Diabetes Care CentreMumbai
