- Hyperpituitarism
- The most common cause of hyperpituitarism is an
adenoma arising in the anterior lobe. Other less
common causes include hyperplasia and
carcinomas of the anterior pituitary
- Pharmacological treatment: 1. somatostatin receptor agonists (also
known as somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs) or somatostatin
analogues). 2. dopamine analogues. 3. GH receptor antagonists.
- Pituitary Adenomas
- Pituitary adenomas are benign
neoplasms of the anterior lobe of the
pituitary and are often associated
with excess secretion of pituitary
hormones treated by surgical
resection. medical therapy, and
radiation therapy.
- Hypopituitarism
- Pharmacological
treatment: 1.
Somatropin. 2.
Mecasermin..etc.
