Common Questions and Answers about The hormone adh is produced by
hormone
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin) is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. ADH deficiency is known as diabetes insipidus. Symptoms are frequent thirst and urination. Treatment is desmopressin (synthetic replacement for vasopressin) - taken 2 to 3 times a day.
it is cancer that is contained within the duct with no invasion outside the duct. ADH is sometimes called pre-cancerous but only increases the risk of developing breast cancer in the future; that is why the area is usually excised with clear margins and also followed by some form of treatment after surgery. Sometimes Radiation and Tamoxifen if it's hormone receptor positive. Regards .....
I would think you might have been recommended some treatment following the diagnosis of ADH. Often lumpectomy is followed by radiation and possibly hormone therapy. How long ago was your surgical biopsy?? No referral to an oncologist ?? I seem to have more questions that you but additional surgery and Oncology referral is usually standard for ADH.
As a rule the entire area is surgically removed followed by radiation and possibly hormone therapy. ADH is often referred to as pre-cancerous but in fact it does increase your risk of developing breast cancer in the future. ADH isn't usually found by a lump but rather by microcalcifications seen on mammogram. I'm not sure how to advise you as this is quite a problem. From what you say you only had the excisional biopsies and not a lumpectomy with clean margins and any other treatment.
ADH is a condition where the cells lining the milk ducts experience abnormal growth. This condition is NOT cancer and will NOT become cancer although it is often referred to as a Pre-cancerous condition. It does increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer in the future. This is sometimes left alone but the breasts are monitored more closely than usual. Sometimes the area is surgically removed and some form of treatment recommended following surgery.
A diagnosis of ADH usually calls for surgical removal of the area and sometimes followed by additional treatment such as Radiation and Hormone Therapy. ADH although is NOT cancer, it does double your risk of developing breast cancer in the future. The procedure would be most likely to mark the area with a tiny wire inserted in the Radiology Dept thru a very small needle. You would then go to the OR where the tissue in question would be removed surgically.
Your choice is the recommended treatment for ADH and you are correct there may be some follow-up treatment. Radiation is often advised and then, depending on the Pathology report, Hormone therapy may be also recommended. If the Hormone testing (ER/PR) is positive then Tamoxifen could be advised for 5 years. Chemotherapy is only used when a diagnosis of "true" Cancer is made.
In my opinion, your Surgeon is taking the proper steps dealing with your situation.Once the entire area of concern is removed,then regular screening and careful consideration of medications and other strategies to reduce breast cancer risk could be recommended.
Because you were diagnosed with ADH,please make sure you discuss with your doctor,if you are on any kind of HRT,because this therapy could be a risk factor for breast cancer.
Best wishes and hoping that all goes well for you....
-Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
TSH stimulates the Thyroid Gland to secrete its own hormone called Thyroxine (T4). TSH is also known as thryrotropin. Another hormone produced from the thyroid is called tri-iodothyronine or T3. Thyroxine controls many bodily functions, including heart rate, temperature and metabolism. It also helps metabolise calcium in the body.
I really think that pituitary tumor is causing a lot of these problems...ADH is secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary and improper secretion of this results in diabetes. Cholesterol increases are a result of the thyroid problems, which are likely a result of the pituitary tumor, in his case. Blood pressure is dependent on the volume of the blood, which can be affected by water content, which can be affected by ADH.........if this makes sense.
DHEA-sulfate test measures the amount of DHEA-sulfate in the blood. DHEA-sulfate is a weak male hormone (androgen) produced by the adrenal gland in men and women.
If your levels are high, you may have the unwanted side affects of excess hair or other male characteristics. This is something to follow with PCOS.
Most of the time our TH-1 system will successfully destroy invaders, before antibodies are ever produced. If the invader is not destroyed by the TH-1 system immediately, the TH-2 antibody system gets involved and produces antibodies. These antibodies are like attaching strobe lights to the foreign invaders. It makes it extremely easy for the TH-1 cells to find and kill the foreign invaders. .
Hi,
The testosterone is mainly produced in the testes, so, if there is any functional problem with the testes, they will not be able to produce the hormone. Also, the LH hormone produced by the pituitary is the trigger for testes to produce testosterone, so if the brain does not produce enough LH, then also an otherwise functional testes will not produce enough hormone.
Standard treatment for ADH (which IS NOT cancer) is surgical excision followed by Radiation and possibly hormone therapy. I see no particular reason to see an Oncologist before the surgery and the final Pathology report on the specimen obtained. ADH only increases a woman's risk of developing breast cancer but as previously stated it is NOT cancer.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that is produced by the placenta of a pregnant woman. It is detectable in the blood and urine within 10 days of fertilization and hence forms the basis of all pregnancy tests. Because human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by the placenta, the presence of HCG in a woman’s blood indicates that she is most probably pregnant.
It is caused by problems with the antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) that helps to regulate the amount of liquid in the body. The hormone is made by the hypothamalums which is in the pituitary gland.
In diabetes insipidus, there is either not enough hormome being produced, or there is enough hormone but the kidneys fail to respond.
In ADH it is the standard of care to do an excisional biopsy because in 20% of the cases, there is sometimes ductal cancer in situ (none invasive), or invasive cells in the adjacent tissue. The studies indicate that some of the time some of the ADH cells may progress to DCIS, etc. The odds are in our favor. I am told that if all they find is ADH, depending on your personal risks and extent of ADH, more frequent clinical exams and mamms may be all that is needed.
Can you recheck the lab report on the FT4 at .07? That's extremely low. However, your FT3 looks really good. And your TSH, for what it's worth, is in the normal range even by the updated standards of 0.3-3.0.
I'm only commenting on the FT3, FT4 and TSH...other members are much better at vitamins, etc. than I am.
