Hypopituitarism

Anterior pituitary hypofunction is a syndrome caused by insufficient secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland. The disease can be divided into two types: partial and complete. The former involves only 1 or 2 hormones; the latter is insufficient synthesis and secretion of all anterior pituitary hormones. The clinical manifestations mainly depend on the type and degree of anterior pituitary hormone deficiency; in addition, the age of onset also affects clinical manifestations.
