Overview
Historical Perspective
- In 1914, Dr. Simmonds was the first one to describe the hypopituitarism. He described it as the inability of the pituitary gland to secrete hormones matching the organs need.[1]
- In 1950, Dr. Yalow and Berson discovered the radioimmunoassay which helped in measurement of the pituitary hormones after the diagnosis was only based on the signs and symptoms presented with the patients.[2]
- In 1973, combined stimulation tests of the hormones insulin, GnRH and TRH were performed for the first time to assess the pituitary gland funciton.[3]
- Through the 20th and 21st centuries, causes of the hypopituitarism were being described.
