Overview

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of pituitary adenoma include elevated serum prolactin level and elevated or decreased serum levels of other pituitary hormones.

Laboratory Findings

  • Laboratory studies are important in the diagnosis of pituitary adenoma, abnormal findings may include:
  • Some adenomas secrete more than one hormone, the most common combination being growth hormon and prolactin.
