Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of pituitary apoplexy include endocrinopathies from hypofunction of the pituitary gland. Blood tests and hormonal assay will be done to check levels of ACTH, cholesterol, cortisol, growth hormone, LH, prolactin, and somatomedin C (IGF-1).
Laboratory Findings
Pituitary apoplexy may cause temporary or permanent endocrinopathies from hypofunction of the pituitary gland. Blood tests will be done to check levels of:[1][2]
