2 What is Hyperhidrosis? Sweating that is more than required to maintain normal thermal regulation
Slide 3-

3 Sweating Nomenclature Areas: Focal, regional, generalized Symmetry: Symmetric or asymmetric Classification: Primary vs. secondary Type of sweating: Anhidrosis, euhydrosis, hyperhidrosis Multi-specialty Working Group on Recognition, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis, 2003.

5 Causes of Generalized Hyperhidrosis Usually secondary in nature Drugs, toxins, substance abuse Cardiovascular disorders Respiratory failure Infections Malignancies Hodgkin’s, myleoproliferative disorders, cancers with increased catabolism Endocrine/metabolic disorders Thyrotoxicosis, pheochromocytoma, acromegaly, carcinoid tumor, hypoglycemia, menopause Rarely Idiopathic / Primary HH

6 Causes of Localized Hyperhidrosis Usually Idiopathic / Primary Social anxiety disorder Eccrine nevus Gustatory sweating Frey syndrome Impaired evaporation Stump hyperhidrosis after amputation

8 US Prevalence Survey mailed to a representative sample of 150,000 US households in January 2002 Prevalence of hyperhidrosis in the US is 2.8% (7.8 million individuals) 64% response rate Approximately 6,800 respondents with hyperhidrosis 32.4% of individuals with axillary hyperhidrosis (0.5% of the US population or 1.3 million people) have sweating that is barely tolerable and frequently interferes with their daily activities, or is intolerable and always interferes with their daily activities (based on the HDSS). Projected to the US population 50.8% have axillary hyperhidrosis: US prevalence is 1.4% (4 million individuals) Strutton DR, Kowalski JW, Glaser DA, Stang PE.

10 Heredity/Genetics Herbst, Ann Surg 1994 Retrospective questionnaire following ETS for 1° hyperhidrosis 270/323 patients responded 31.5% reported positive family history Ro, J Vasc Surg 2002 Controlled prospective study of patients with 1° hyperhidrosis presenting for ETS 49/58 patients responded to detailed FH questionnaire 65% reported + FH (.28 risk offspring, .14 risk parents) Concluded gene present in 5% of population with 25% penetrance ETS = Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy
Slide 11-

11 Diagnosis of Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis Focal, visible, excessive sweating of at least 6 months duration without apparent cause with at least 2 of the following characteristics: Bilateral and relatively symmetric Impairs daily activities Frequency of at least one episode per week Age of onset less than 25 years Positive family history Cessation of focal sweating during sleep Multi-specialty Working Group on Recognition, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis, 2003.

12 Diagnostic Work-up History Age of onset Location Trigger factors Review of symptoms Physical exam Laboratory evaluation Gravimetric – 1° research tool Starch iodine – defines area of disease Starch iodine test, with the darkened area showing location of excessive sweating
