Overview
Laboratory tests on blood and urine such as electrolyte tests and hormonal assays are useful in the diagnosis of adiposogenital dystrophy.
Other Diagnostic Findings
Laboratory tests on blood and urine to determine electrolyte levels as well as hormonal assays are important tests that can may be used to diagnose adiposogenital dystrophy. Such tests include[1]:
- Pituitary hormones (prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, growth hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone)
- Thyroid hormones
- Serum cortisol
- Serum estrogen
- Serum testosterone
- Sodium levels
- Blood and urine osmolality
- Molecular testing for DNA methylation to rule out Prader-Willi syndrome[2]
