WAdrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency is a result of a decreased or absent production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by the pituitary gland.It can be associated with TBX19.
WGrowth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a medical condition resulting from not enough growth hormone (GH). Generally the most noticeable symptom is that an individual attains a short height. Newborns may also present low blood sugar or a small penis size. In adults there may be decreased muscle mass, high cholesterol levels, or poor bone density.
WHyperpituitarism is a condition due to the primary hypersecretion of pituitary hormones; it typically results from a pituitary adenoma. In children with hyperpituitarism, disruption of growth regulation is rare, either because of hormone hypersecretion or because of manifestations caused by local compression of the adenoma.
WHyperprolactinaemia is the presence of abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood. Normal levels are less than 500 mIU/L [23.5 ng/mL or μg/L] for women, and less than 450 mI U/L [21.5 ng/mL or μg/L] for men.
WHypophysitis refers to an inflammation of the pituitary gland. Hypophysitis is rare and not fully understood.
WHypopituitarism is the decreased (hypo) secretion of one or more of the eight hormones normally produced by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. If there is decreased secretion of one specific pituitary hormone, the condition is known as selective hypopituitarism. If there is decreased secretion of most or all pituitary hormones, the term panhypopituitarism is used.
WHypoprolactinemia is a medical condition characterized by a deficiency in the serum levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary hormone prolactin.
WA pituitary disease is a disorder primarily affecting the pituitary gland.
WPituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a congenital disorder characterised by the triad of an absent or exceedingly thin pituitary stalk, an ectopic or absent posterior pituitary and/or absent or hypoplastic anterior pituitary.
