Abstract
Acromegaly - invalidusername multi-organ disease, the treatment efficiency of which depends on timely diagnosis. Given the low detectability of acromegaly in the Russian population, it was decided to develop and test the algorithm for detection of acromegaly in patients with concomitant somatic pathology. The Russian non-interventional study Acroscreen included 1249 patients, and as a result of the diagnostic search, 9 patients with newly detected acromegaly (2 men and 7 women) were revealed. A clinical case of one of the patients included in the study is presented; it illustrates the practical importance of an active search strategy acromegaly. It is emphasized that the careful examination of patients at risk will significantly increase the efficiency of detection and search of acromegaly, helping to improve the quality of life and life time.
