Madeleine Drent

Madeleine Drent serves as a Researcher within the Department of General Practice at Erasmus University Medical Center (Erasmus MC) in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Her academic work focuses on endocrine disorders and their long-term complications, particularly in patients with growth hormone deficiency and adrenal insufficiency, contributing significantly to clinical understanding through registry-based analyses and collaborative research.

Her primary research domains encompass:

• Growth Hormone Deficiency
• Adrenal Insufficiency
• Cardiovascular Risk Assessment in Endocrine Patients
• Glucocorticoid Replacement Therapy
• Growth Hormone Treatment Protocols
• Hypopituitarism Management
• Glucose Metabolism Disorders

Dr. Drent's recent publication in Pituitary (2024) demonstrates her focus on cardiovascular complications in hormone-treated populations, utilizing the Dutch National Registry to analyze interactions between glucocorticoids and growth hormone therapy. Her work consistently bridges clinical practice and metabolic outcomes, revealing critical patterns in cardiovascular risk stratification for endocrine patients while advancing evidence-based management strategies for pituitary disorders.
