Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify predictive and risk factors for the development of immune-related endocrinopathies and to analyze the incidence and characteristics of immune-related endocrinopathies in our population.
Design: A retrospective, single-centre cohort carried out at Gregorio Marañón Hospital between January 2018 -December 2019.
Methods: A total of 163 patients were enrolled.
Background: Inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) is indicated in the diagnosis of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent Cushing's syndrome (CS), especially when the results of the initial diagnostic tests are discordant.
Objective: To describe the patients who underwent this invasive functional test in a tertiary hospital.
Methods: This was an observational study of a retrospective cohort of patients with ACTH-dependent CS and IPSS between 2004 and 2019.

Systemic infiltrative diseases are relatively rare conditions consisting of cell infiltration or substance deposition in multiple organs and systems, including endocrine glands. This article reviews endocrine changes in the main four diseases at epidemiological level: sarcoidosis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, hereditary hemochromatosis, and systemic amyloidosis. Recommendations to endocrinologists for hormone work-up and management of patients with each of these conditions are provided.

Its late clinical presentation is heterogeneous and may lead to a diagnostic delay. Case report: we report the case of a 45-year-old man with a 20-year history of chronic kidney disease and recently diagnosed spastic paraparesis, both of unknown origin.
