Prognosis The prognosis for most patients with hypopituitarism is excellent. As long as therapy is continued, many experience normal life spans. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Outlook If hormone replacement therapy is adequate, the prognosis is good. Complications are often related to the underlying disease. For More Information Visit the Pituitary Network Association web site. [webmd.com]

The prognosis for AS is difficult to predict, as it varies widely between individuals, and the progression is often not constant. Important factors for measuring outlook include levels of functional ability, spinal mobility, joint damage, and so on. [medicalnewstoday.com]

This is a very important mechanism to prevent dehydration. Too much vasopressin can cause the kidneys to hold too much water, diluting out the sodium level in the bloodstream. [ccpd.ucsf.edu]

Hormone blood tests can be taken randomly for some hormones, but others may require specialised testing with substances that should provoke the release or prevent release in certain conditions. [patient.info]
