Mortality and pituitary disease

Annales d'Endocrinologie, 2012
Outcome data from large series confirm increased mortality of patients with pituitary tumours, predominantly due to vascular disease. Control of cortisol secretion and growth hormone (GH) hypersecretion (together with cardiovascular risk factor reduction) is key in the normalisation of mortality rates in patients with Cushing's disease and acromegaly ...

Diseases of the Pituitary

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1994
This article reviews current understanding of the pathology and pathogenesis of pituitary diseases. It emphasizes the importance of morphologic analysis in the diagnostic sphere. The investigation of structure-function correlations in pituitary adenomas combined with a greater understanding of the molecular basis of disease will lead to new discoveries

Pituitary Gland Diseases

2010
Excessive secretion of pituitary hormones, as well as their deficiency, may cause a constellation of clinical and pathological manifestations involving major organ systems of the body, including the skin. There are no specific cutaneous signs or symptoms that are pathognomonic for the main manifestations of pituitary gland diseases such as ...

Pituitary diseases in pregnancy

Seminars in Perinatology, 1998
Pituitary adenomas are the most common pituitary disorder affecting pregnancy, and prolactinomas are the most common of the hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas. Hyperprolactinemia must be corrected to allow ovulation and fertility. Bromocriptine has been shown to be safe for use during early gestation. There is less than a 2% risk of microprolactinoma

Pituitary pathology in Cushing's disease

Pathology - Research and Practice, 1988
Pituitaries of 137 cases with Cushing's disease were microscopically and immunohistologically studied. Many alterations and parameters (sex, age, anamnesis, cortisol plasma levels, tumor size, invasiveness, localization, differentiation of adenomas, immunohistological hormone content, capillarity, recurrences, peritumorous ACTH cell hyperplasia, and ...

Medical management of pituitary disease

Clinics in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1983
Success in the treatment of pituitary tumours depends on their size and invasiveness so that early detection is imperative. Immediate cure of microadenomas is assured by trans-sphenoidal microsurgery although longterm results are not yet established. Complete removal of large tumours is less likely and radiotherapy is advised if there is evidence of ...

Serum lipids in diseases of the pituitary

Metabolism, 1967
Abstract In hypopituitarism of various etiologies, hyperlipemia is not rare; usually these cases have a low serum PBI in the presence of moderate adrenal function. Although replacement therapy often restores the blood fats to normal, the levels sometimes remain elevated in spite of thyroxine and cortisone administration.
