Treatment of hypopituitarism consists of hormone replacement therapy and treatment of the underlying disorder (e.g., transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenomas ). [amboss.com]

Prognosis Although an increased mortality rate in hypopituitary patients is well documented, the actual cause of the increased mortality is not clear. [ 9 ] If adequately replaced, prognosis in hypopituitarism is good. [patient.info]

While effective treatment of the underlying hormone deficiencies may improve these risks, it is often necessary to treat them directly. [6] Prognosis [ edit ] Several studies have shown that hypopituitarism is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular [en.wikipedia.org]

They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]

Etiology Intrasellar/parasellar masses Nonsecretory pituitary macroadenomas ( 10 mm in diameter) are the most common cause of hypopituitarism among adults ( 40% of cases ). [amboss.com]

Therefore, we proposed a classification of SEH, according to the most probable etiology whatever the associated factors, in six groups: spontaneous, secondary, iatrogenic, traumatic, recurrent, and idiopathic SEH. [publicationslist.org]

Hypopituitarism is usually chronic and lifelong, unless successful surgery or medical treatment of the underlying disorder can restore pituitary function. [ 1 ] Epidemiology Taken from the results of one study: [ 1 ] The incidence of hypopituitarism is [patient.info]

However, sports are not generally considered as a cause of TBI in most epidemiological studies, and the link between sports-related head trauma and hypopituitarism has not been investigated until recently. [publicationslist.org]

Epidemiology [ edit ] There is only one study that has measured the prevalence (total number of cases in a population) and incidence (annual number of new cases) of hypopituitarism. [1] This study was conducted in Northern Spain and used hospital records [en.wikipedia.org]

Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms and risk factors of hypopituitarism caused by sports injuries is thus an important issue that concerns both medical staff and sponsors of sports. [publicationslist.org]
