Overview
Natural History
Hypopituitarism develops different symptoms according to the affected part of the pituitary gland and the deficient hormone. Leaving hypopituitarism without treatment can lead to critical consequences. The natural history depends on the different manifestations of the disease as the following:[1]
- Hypogonadism:
- Vasopressin deficiency: It will end up to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance like hyponatremia.
- Growth hormone deficiency: It may lead to serious vascular conditions and may lead to death.[4]
Complications
Prognosis
Prognosis of hypopituitarism depends on:
- The cause of hypopituitarism: Prognosis of hypopituitarism resulting from tumor is worse than other causes.
- The reaction of hormone replacement therapy.
