YAŞLILIKTA HİPOPİTÜİTARİZM TANI VE TEDAVİSİ,65 YAŞ ÖNCESİNDE TANI ALAN HASTALARIN YAŞLILIKTA İZLEMİ TEMD Önerileri Yaşlanma ile hipofiz hormonlarının sekresyon amplitüdü ve sirkadiyen salınımı bozulur.
Yaşlı hastalarda L-Thyroxin tedavisine çok düşük dozlarda başlamak ufak dozlarda yavaş
artırmak gerekir,
Hastalarda ACTH-Kortizol aks yetmezliği ile birlikte tiroid hormon eksikliğide varsa önce
glukokortikoid replasmanı yapılmalıdır.
Erkek hipogonadizmi olanlarda sıkı kontrol şartıyla replasman tedavisi verilebilir, kadınlarda
gerek yoktur.
