Overview
Diagnosis of Sheehan's syndrome is made on clinical basis with a recent/remote history of traumatic delivery or delivery complicated by hypotension.
Diagnostic Criteria
- There is no specific established diagnostic criteria for Sheehan's syndrome.
- Diagnosis of Sheehan's syndrome is made on clinical basis with a recent/remote history of traumatic delivery or delivery complicated by hypotension.
- Diagnosis is mostly clinical but following steps are required to make the established diagnosis.
- Detailed medical history
- Measurement of pituitary hormone levels in blood
- Pituitary hormone stimulation tests:[1][2]
- Insulin tolerance
- chlorpromazine
- metoclopramide
- clomiphene citrate stimulation tests
- Imaging (MRI preferred on CT)
