Medical Therapy
- Treatment involves appropriate hormone replacement therapy, which must be taken for the rest of your life that results in significant improvement of not only the physical symptoms but also the psychological symptoms.[1]
- In patients with combined hypothyroidism and hypocortisolism, glucocorticoids are replaced first than thyroid hormone replacement.
- DDAVP is the treatment of choice for patients with DI.[2]
- GH is replaced on individual basis startinfg with a low dose(0.1-0.3mg/day) and titrated upwards by 0.1mg/d/month with repeated measurement of hormone levels every month initially for the first 6months followed by yearly measurements.[3]
