Acromegaly
Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder. It develops when your pituitary gland, located deep in the brain, produces too much growth hormone (GH). Growth hormone affects growth of all tissues of the body, especially bone. Too much of this hormone can cause:
- abnormal growth of the head, face, hands, or feet
- diabetes
- coronary artery disease
- high blood pressure
- enlarged heart, kidneys, liver, spleen and other organs.
