Part Description
LP113966-8 Pituitary Ab
Autoimmune hypophysitis or Lymphocytic hypophysitis is defined as below normal production of one or more hormones by the pituitary gland due to autoimmunity.
80% of patients with pituitary antibodies also have antibodies to thyroid gland or its hormones.Likewise, 20% of autoimmune thyroid patients also have pituitary antibodies.[6] It follows that a subset of thyroid patients may have a disease related to autoimmune hypophysitis. Recent research has focused on a defect at the CTLA-4 gene which, coupled with other factors, may result in pan-autoimmunity primarily focusing on certain endocrine glands including the pituitary and thyroid.
