Overview
Hypopituitarism can be classified on the basis of location of pathology into primary and secondary hypopituitarism. It can also be classified on the basis of the portion of gland involvement into partial or complete glandular involvement.
Classification
Hypopituitarism can be classified on the basis of location of pathology and the portion of gland involvement:[1]
Classification on the basis of anatomical location:
- Primary hypopituitarism- includes intrinsic pathology in pituitary and decreased pituitary hormone levels
- Secondary hypopituitarism- includes pathology in hypothalamus and decreased hypothalamic hormone levels
Classification on the basis of glandular involvement
- Partial- includes deficiency of one or more than one hormones (can be anterior or posterior pituitary gland)
- Complete/Panhypopituitarism- includes deficiency of all of the pituitary hormones (both anterior and posterior)
