These disorders need careful interpretation
Pituitary and adrenal conditions can affect many body systems. Diagnosis usually depends on symptoms, carefully timed hormone tests, medicine effects and imaging, not a single abnormal result.
What Dr. Santosha treats
Selected pituitary, adrenal and hormone-regulation disorders.
Pituitary hormone disorders
Problems with hormones controlled by the pituitary gland.
Pituitary hormone excess
Suspected hormone excess when symptoms or tests are concerning.
Pituitary hormone deficiency
Possible pituitary-related hormone deficiency.
Adrenal disorders
Disorders of adrenal hormones and adrenal function.
Cortisol problems
Suspected excess or deficiency of cortisol.
Adrenal hormone excess
When symptoms or tests suggest too much adrenal hormone.
Abnormal hormone tests
Interpreting complex results when the diagnosis is uncertain.
Incidental findings
Pituitary or adrenal lumps found on scans done for another reason.
Signs it's time to see a specialist
Consider an assessment when hormone tests stay abnormal or symptoms point to the pituitary or adrenal glands.
Unexplained hormone abnormalities
Tests remain abnormal and the cause is unclear.
Signs of hormone excess
Features that raise concern for excess cortisol or another hormone.
Possible hormone deficiency
Symptoms or tests suggest a gland is not producing enough.
A pituitary finding on a scan
A pituitary lesion or incidental finding needs hormonal assessment.
An adrenal finding on a scan
An adrenal lesion or incidental finding needs evaluation.
Several abnormal hormones
Multiple abnormalities need specialist interpretation.
Why see an endocrinologist for pituitary and adrenal disorders?
These disorders involve several interacting hormone systems and need specialist interpretation.
Endocrinologists are trained to bring together biochemical tests, symptoms, medicines and imaging.
Assessment and follow-up are tailored to the suspected disorder and your findings.
