Reversible hyperthyrotropinemia, hyperthyroxinemia, and hyperprolactinemia due to adrenal insufficiency
The American Journal of Medicine
|August 1, 1985
Summary
Primary adrenal insufficiency can cause endocrine gland dysfunction. Glucocorticoids may modulate prolactin and thyroid axis function, suggesting adrenal insufficiency in diagnosing hyperprolactinemia and hyperthyrotropinemia.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Internal Medicine
- Hormone Physiology
Background:
- Primary adrenal insufficiency can lead to multiple endocrine gland dysfunctions.
- Patients may present with atypical endocrine profiles.
- The interplay between adrenal function and other endocrine axes is complex.
