Overview

Laboratory findings are crucial in the diagnosis of adiposogenital dystrophy. Pituitary hormones are low and there may be downstream hormonal deficiencies as well.

Laboratory findings

Laboratory findings include:

• Pituitary hormones including prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and growth hormone
• Serum cortisol
• Serum estrogen
• Testosterone
• Thyroid hormones
• Sodium levels may be elevated due to diabetes insipidus
• Blood osmolality may be high and urine osmolality may be low due to diabetes insipidus
