Overview
Lab evaluation gives a picture of partial or panhypopituitarism. Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Sheehan's syndrome are including hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, hypophosphatemia, anemia, pancytopenia, eosinophilia, hypoalbuminemia, low fasting plasma glucose, and decreased levels of anterior pituitary hormones (free thyroxine, estradiol, cortisol levels). The most sensitive tests are inadequate prolactin and gonadotropin responses to stimulation.
Laboratory Findings
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Sheehan's syndrome are including:
- Hyponatremia[1][2][3]
- Hypokalemia
- Hypocalcemia
- Hypomagnesemia
- Hypophosphatemia
- Anemia[3]
- Pancytopenia[4]
- Eosinophilia[5]
- Hypoalbuminemia
- Low fasting plasma glucose
- Elevated serum SGOT
- Thrombocytopenia
- Decreased levels of anterior pituitary hormones in blood:
- Most sensitive tests are inadequate prolactin and gonadotropin responses to stimulation.
- ACTH stimulation test is done after 3 months postpartum, as adrenal gland takes 3 months to get atrophied in absence of ACTH stimulation. During this 3 month period, definitive diagnosis of ACTH and GH deficiency can be made by other stimulation tests, such as insulin- or glucagon-induced hypoglycemia.
