Extractions: Add to Personal Archive Add to Citation Manager E-mail When Cited ... PubMed Citation Hypopituitarism may be either partial or complete and may result from either pituitary or hypothalamic disease. Its clinical manifestations vary, depending on the extent and severity of the pituitary hormone deficiency. Thus, a patient may present in extremis with acute adrenal insufficiency or profound hypothyroidism, with symptoms indicating a pituitary mass lesion, or with nonspecific symptoms of fatigue and malaise. Most of the hypothalamic-pituitary-target-organ axes are tightly coordinated systems in which hormonal signals from the hypothalamus stimulate or inhibit secretion of anterior pituitary hormones;

Tayal Sushil K. Bansal Dinesh K. Chadha Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. Summary Hypopituitarism is uncommon in elderly people. We report 12 cases of hypopituitarism diagnosed after the age of 60 (range 63-89, mean 74.9) years over a 10-year period. Aetiology was evident in eight cases, viz. pituitary tumour in six and previous post-partum haemorrhage and giant aneurysm of carotid artery in one each. The presentation was often non-specific with symptoms such as lethargy, pallor, falls, urinary incontinence, confusion, fever and flexion contractures. Subtle clues to the condition were missed in four cases resulting in delayed diagnosis. Although levels of pituitary trophic hormones are generally low in this condition, the thyrotrophin (TSH) was normal in seven cases in the present series. Normal levels of serum sodium and potassium did not exclude cortisol deficiency. Hormone replacement therapy resulted in improved quality of life. Physicians dealing with elderly patients should bear this easily treated condition in mind.

Extractions: Pituitary and TSH Definition: Hypopituitarism is a condition caused by low levels of pituitary hormones. Alternative Names: Pituitary insufficiency Causes And Risk: The pituitary gland is a small structure that is located just below the brain. It is attached by a stalk to the hypothalamus , the area of the brain that controls its function. The hormones secreted by the pituitary and their functions are: growth hormone (GH), which stimulates growth of tissues and bone thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete hormones that affect body metabolism adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which stimulates the adrenal gland to secrete cortisol which helps to maintain blood pressure prolactin , which stimulates female breast development and milk production luteinizing hormone (LH), which controls sexual function in males and females

Extractions: El hipopituitarismo, llamado también hipofunción de la glándula pituitaria, es una condición que afecta al lóbulo anterior de la glándula pituitaria generalmente resulta en la pérdida parcial o completa de la función de ese lóbulo. Los síntomas dependen de cuáles sean las hormonas que ya no están siendo producidas por la glándula. Debido a que la glándula pituitaria afecta a los otros órganos endocrinos, los efectos del hipopituitarismo pueden ser graduales o súbitos y dramáticos. (hormona luteinizante y hormona est mulante del fol culo) En las mujeres premenopaúsicas, esto lleva a la ausencia de ciclos menstruales, infertilidad, sequedad vaginal y pérdida de algunas características femeninas. En los hombres esta deficiencia lleva a impotencia, testículos apergaminados, disminución de la producción de esperma, infertilidad y pérdida de algunas características masculinas.

Physical lesions in the region of the suprachiasmatic nuclei, which are the site of a circadian clock, result in abnormal circadian rhythmicity in animals, yet the extent of biological rhythm problems in individuals with anatomic or functional lesions in the hypothalamic-pituitary region are largely unknown. To address this issue, we examined patterns of rest and activity of children with hypopituitarism.

Extractions: A B C D ... W Apart from the tumours mentioned above, other causes of pituitary damage include severe bleeding from the womb after childbirth or damage from other diseases or tumours near near the pituitary gland. Sometimes the pituitary gland just shrinks, especially with advancing age. Reduced pituitary function may also follow either surgery for tumours near the pituitary or result from radiotherapy to the brain for another condition. The cause of pituitary tumours is not known. Severe bleeding at childbirth is now rare. When it occurs, however, blood is drained away from the pituitary which then shrinks. Regular appointments to see the specialist for check blood test and sometimes x-rays or scans are usually required. A change of tablet doses is usually needed from time to time. Tablets should be carefully checked after each visit to the pharmacist. Any stress (emotional, accident or infection) calls for a bigger dose of hydrocortisone (or other steroid): double the usual dose for mild problems, triple it for severe conditions, especially with fever. You must contact your general practitioner (or the nearest casualty department) if unwell, particularly with vomiting. It may be that an urgent injection of steroid is then required. A bracelet or pendant identification is a good idea. It needs to state that you are taking cortisone . Remember: steroids (cortisone and similar drugs) should never be stopped unless specifically advised by a specialist that this is safe.

Hypopituitarism was established by low basal gonadotrophin, thyroxine, and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels. The failure of growth hormone and prolactin to respond to insulin hypoglycemia and an inadequate prolactin response to the administration of chlorpromazine provided further evidence of hypopituitarism.
