Overview

Other diagnostic findings may include serum and CSF angiotensin converting enzyme activities, serum ferritin to rule out haemochromatosis, human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) and genetic testing in isolated/syndromic MPHD.

Other Diagnostic Studies

In order to further investigate the cause of hypopituitarism, following investigations may be done

• Serum and CSF angiotensin converting enzyme activities to rule out neurosarcoid
• Serum ferritin to rule out haemochromatosis
• Human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) to rule out germ cell tumours
• Genetic testing in isolated/syndromic MPHD.
