Definition: Hypopituitarism is a rare disorder in which your pituitary gland fails to produce one or more hormones, or doesn't produce enough hormones.
Health education: Emphasize the need for lifelong hormone replacement therapy, increased glucocorticoid replacement preceding and/or during stressful events, and prompt medical attention as appropriate. Tell them that regular follow-up visits with a healthcare provider are essential to ensure adequate hormone replacement and to prevent excessive hormone replacement. Encourage all patients to wear a medical-alert tag.
Pathophysiology: Hypopituitarism is a health condition characterized by the reduced production of hormones from the pituitary gland. The pathophysiology of hypopituitarism usually involves damage to the pituitary gland, which renders it unable to produce one or more hormones in the normal manner.
