Abstract:
Acromegaly causes many complications such as bone and joint diseases, sleep apnea syndrome, glucose and lipid metabolism disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and tumors. Delays in clinical diagnosis and treatment have significantly increased the incidence of complications. According to " Chinese Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acromegaly(2020)" , we interpret the assessment, management, and follow-up of acromegaly comorbidities in order to guide and standardize the management of acromegaly comorbidities and improve the prognosis of patients.
