Hypopituitarism can be classified on the basis of location of pathology into primary and secondary hypopituitarism. It can also be classified on the basis of the portion of gland involvement into partial or complete glandular involvement.  
Hypopituitarism can be classified on the basis of location of [[pathology]] into primary or secondary hypopituitarism. It can also be classified on the basis of the extent of [[gland]] involved into partial or complete [[Glandular tissue|glandular]] involvement.

=== Classification on the basis of anatomical location: ===
=== Classification on the basis of [[anatomical]] location: ===
* Primary hypopituitarism-  includes intrinsic pathology in pituitary and decreased pituitary hormone levels
* Primary hypopituitarism-  represents intrinsic [[pathology]] in [[Pituitary gland|pituitary]] and decreased [[Pituitary gland|pituitary]] hormone levels


*Secondary hypopituitarism- includes pathology in hypothalamus and decreased hypothalamic hormone levels
*Secondary hypopituitarism- represents [[pathology]] in [[hypothalamus]] and decreased [[hypothalamic]] [[hormone]] levels


=== Classification on the basis of glandular involvement ===
=== Classification on the basis of extent of [[Glandular tissue|glandular]] involvement ===
* Partial- includes deficiency of one or more than one hormones (can be anterior or posterior pituitary gland)
* Partial hypopituitarism- means deficiency of one or more than one [[hormones]] (can be anterior or posterior [[pituitary gland]] lobe)


* Complete/Panhypopituitarism- includes deficiency of all of the pituitary hormones (both anterior and posterior)
* Complete/Panhypopituitarism- means deficiency of all of the [[Pituitary gland|pituitary]] [[hormones]] (both anterior and posterior lobes)

Overview

Hypopituitarism can be classified on the basis of location of pathology into primary or secondary hypopituitarism. It can also be classified on the basis of the extent of gland involved into partial or complete glandular involvement.

Classification

Hypopituitarism can be classified on the basis of location of pathology and the extent of gland involvement:[1]

Classification on the basis of anatomical location:

Classification on the basis of extent of glandular involvement

  • Partial hypopituitarism- means deficiency of one or more than one hormones (can be anterior or posterior pituitary gland lobe)
  • Complete/Panhypopituitarism- means deficiency of all of the pituitary hormones (both anterior and posterior lobes)
