Overview
- An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].
- [Test] is usually normal among patients with [disease name].
- Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
OR
- There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].
Laboratory Findings
- A subnormal/reduced concentration of pituitary hormones is diagnostic of hypopituitarism.[1]
- Any history of a lesion causing hypopituitarism or a symptom suggestive of hypopituitarism is an indication for testing for hypopituitarism.
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of hypopituitarism include:
| Hormonal deficiency | Lab finding | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| ACTH | |||
| TSH | |||
| Gonadotropins | |||
| Growth hormone | |||
| Prolactin | |||
| ADH | |||
| Oxytocin |
