9 Prevalence of GH deficiency in patients with pituitary disorders Jameson, De Groote, 7th Ed, Figure 11-8

10 Varying sensitivity of pituitary axes following radiotherapy Jameson, De Groote, 7th Ed, Table 18-4

11 Summary of clinical features of hypopituitarism Hormone deficiency Presentation Adrenocorticorticotrophic hormone Gonadotrophins Thyroid-stimulating hormone Growth hormone Prolactin Antidiuretic Hormone Acute Symptoms and signs Fatigue, weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, circulatory failure. As in Addison's disease, except lack of hyperpigmentation, absence of hyperkalaemia Chronic Tiredness, pallor, anorexia, nausea, weight loss, myalgia, hypoglycaemia Children Delayed puberty Men Women Impaired fertility, impotence, reduced libido, decreased muscle mass and strength, decreased bone mass, decreased erythropoiesis and hair growth, fine wrinkles, testicular hypotrophy Amenorrhoea, oligomenorrhoea, infertility, loss of libido, dyspareunia, fine wrinkles, breast atrophy, osteoporosis, premature, atherosclerosis Children Growth retardation Adult Fatigue, cold intolerance, constipation, weight gain, dry skin, slow relaxing reflexes Children Growth retardation, short stature, increased adiposity Adult Reduced exercise capacity, impaired psychological wellbeing, increased cardiovascular risk, increased central obesity, reduced lean body mass Failure of lactation Polyuria, polydipsia including nocturnal

12 Baseline investigation of pituitary (hypo)function 1. Adrenocortical axis: serum cortisol 2. Thyroid axis: total T4 or free T4, TSH 3. Gonadal axis: men - testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH women - oestradiol, LH, FSH, progesterone (day 21 if menstruating) 4. Prolactin 5. Insulin-like growth factor-1 6. Paired plasma and urine osmolality

13 Signs and symptoms of ACTH deficiency ~ glucocorticoid deficiency fatigue generalized weakness loss of appetite weight loss anorexia nausea hypotension

14 Laboratory diagnosis of glucocorticoid deficiency Baseline tests Morning basal plasma cortisol 5 g/dl ( 140 nmol/l) grey zone 18 g/dl ( 500 nmol/l) confirms GC deficiency 5-18 g/dl ( nmol/l) excludes GC deficiency Plasma ACTH high in primary hypadrenia low in secondary hypadrenia Bronstein, J Clin Endocrinol Metab 101: , 2016

15 Laboratory diagnosis of glucocorticoid deficiency Dynamic tests Indication baseline se. cortisol within the grey zone Adrenal stimulation Short ACTH-test (250 µg ACTH-[1-24]-tetracosactid) cut-off value: µg/dl ( nmol/l) Hypothalamic testing insulin induced hypoglycemia stimulates ACTH and GH secretion Bronstein, J Clin Endocrinol Metab 101: , 2016

16 Treatment of ACTH deficiency Chronic maintenance therapy hydrocortisone, per os, mg/day in 2-3 proportions/day cortisone acetate, mg/day Supplemental hydrocortisone therapy increased oral doses during minor disease administration of im. hydrocortisone Treatment of hypadrenic crisis bolus hydrocortisone + slow iv. infusion mg /day

17 Acute adrenal crisis

18 Signs and symptoms of TSH deficiency = thyroid hormone deficiency mental and growth retardation fatigue loss of memory weight gain high blood pressure constipation cold intolerance fluid retention hair loss

19 Treatment of TSH deficiency levothyroxine, per oral partial deficiency: Daily dose complete deficiency: ug/day ug/day Monitoring: clinical symptoms + serum ft4 levels

21 Male patient before and 5 years after acquiring GH deficiency Jameson, De Groote, 7th Ed, Figure 11-6

22 Diagnosis of GH deficiency Screening IGF-1 has restricted usefulness IGF-1 is normal in 20% of males wiith GH def Confirmatory tests Insulin tolerance test (insulin-induced hypoglycemia test) GH-RH-arginin test Glucagon test Fleseriu, J Clin Endocrinol Metab 101: , 2016

23 Insulin-induced hypoglycemia test INDICATIONS Assessment of ACTH and cortisol reserve Assessment of GH reserve in children with definite growth retardation Assessment of GH response in adults Differentiation of Cushing's syndrome from depression (rarely needed) CONTRAINDICATIONS Ischaemic heart disease Epilepsy or unexplained blackouts Untreated hypothyroidism (impairs GH and cortisol response). Severe longstanding hypoadrenalism (liver glycogen stores are depleted, causing severe hypoglycaemia during the ITT) / Serum cortisol <100nmol/L Glycogen storage disease

24 Insulin-induced hypoglycemia test PREPARATIONS Fast overnight (water permitted); perform test recumbent. Discontinue hydrocortisone 24 hours (or at least prior 2 doses) Medications can be given after completion of the test ie by lunchtime. Calculate Actrapid Insulin dose: Usual dose 0.15 U/kg Acromegaly, type 2 diabetes, Cushing's 0.3 U/kg 50 mls 50% dextrose must be available for immediate administration (but only use if persistent severe hypoglycaemia). If this is required, continue sampling!

25 Insulin-induced hypoglycemia test PROCEDURE Site indwelling cannula. At 0 minutes, take baseline bloods and then inject insulin i.v. Take samples for GH, cortisol and glucose (check glucose on glucometer with each sample) at 0, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 mins, flushing the cannula with saline between samples. At 30 minutes check whole blood glucose with Glucometer and repeat the insulin dose if not hypoglycaemic (this will mean prolonging sampling by 30 min). If insulin dose repeated: restart the clock and collect at t= 0, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120, 150 mins. Adequate hypoglycaemia ( 2.2mmol/l) necessary. Record symptoms in the notes. There must be at least 2 specimens following adequate hypoglycaemia. Patient need not be hypoglycaemic throughout. Lowest glucose level following IV insulin is usually at minutes, with spontaneous resolution. Obtain specimen for glucose before reversal. If needed, reverse hypoglycaemia orally (juice/lucozade). If severe/patient unrousable consider i.v. 20% dextrose (10-15 ml) or 1 mg i.m. glucagon (1 amp), and continue sampling. If patient has a hypoadrenal crisis give i.v. 0.9% saline and hydrocortisone 100 mg. Once test completed, give supervised meal. Patient should not drive for 2 hours after the test.

26 Insulin-induced hypoglycemia test INTERPRETATION The test cannot be interpreted unless hypoglycaemia ( 2.2mmol/l) is achieved. Adequate cortisol response is defined as a rise to above 500 nmol/l. Patients with normal cortisol response (as defined above) can withstand major surgery without steroid replacement. Patients with satisfactory basal values (>250 nmol/l) but subnormal stimulated values require cover for major illnesses and surgery and carry a steroid card and/or MedicAlert bracelet. All other patients with subnormal responses require hydrocortisone replacement Adequate GH response is a rise >6 ng/ml Severe GH deficiency is defined GH peak < 3 ng/ml In children a rise to greater than 12 ng/ml is considered normal.

39 Imaging in central diabetes insipidus Hypothalamic-pituitary MRI posterior pituitary bright signal on T1-weighted MRI sellar tumors, most often craniopharyngeomas stalk mass germinoma, lymphocytic hypophysitis, metastasis, etc

40 Treatment of central diabetes insipidus Desmopressin intranasal 5-20 µg/day, bid per os µg/day, bid Side effects / overtreatment water intoxication, hyponatraemia Preferred approach to chronic treatment slight undertreatment being compensated by normal thirst mechanisms

43 Primary polydipsia Synonyms: dipsogenic diabetes insipidus psychogen polydipsia Causes: psychiatric disorders: schizophrenia, drugs that cause dry mouth habitual throughout a lifetime

44 Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion SIADH Inappropriate overproduction of ADH. Definition: SIADH is a condition when plasma levels of AVP are elevated at times when the physiologic secretion of vasopressin from the posterior pituitary would normally be osmotically suppressed. The hallmark of SIADH is hypoosmolality.
