Hypophysenvorderlappen und Austestung der glandotropen Achsen

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Funktionsdiagnostik in Endokrinologie, Diabetologie und Stoffwechsel

Zusammenfassung

Erläutert werden alle relevanten Funktionstests mit ausführlicher Darstellung von Indikationen, Kontraindikationen, Nebenwirkungen, Testvorbereitung, Rahmenbedingungen, konkreten Handlungsanleitung der eigentlichen Testdurchführung sowie der Interpretation der Testergebnisse. Es werden immer konkrete Normbereiche und Cut-off-Werte angegeben, auch für besondere Situationen (Geschlecht, Alter, BMI, Pubertätsphasen, Zyklusphasen, akute Erkrankungen, Medikamente etc.). Ein besonderes Merkmal ist die Betonung der Testvorbereitung, -durchführung und -interpretation sowie des interdisziplinären Charakters. Die Hypophysenvorderlappen-Hormone und ihre dynamische Funktionstestung werden in diesem Kapitel detailliert behandelt. Auch schwierige, aufwändige und seltene Testverfahren wie Sinus-petrosus-inferior-Katheterisierung, pulsatiler GnRH-Test und kombinierter GHRH-Arginin-Infusions-Test sind ausführlich dargestellt.
