Overview

Laboratory findings are crucial in the diagnosis of adiposogenital dystrophy. Pituitary hormones are low and there may be downstream hormonal deficiencies as well.

Laboratory findings

Laboratory findings include[1]:

  • Pituitary hormones including prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and growth hormone
  • Serum cortisol
  • Serum estrogen
  • Testosterone
  • Thyroid hormones
  • Sodium levels may be elevated due to diabetes insipidus
  • Blood osmolality may be high and urine osmolality may be low due to diabetes insipidus
  • Immunologic markers may also be used
