Adrenal insuficiency
Cushing's syndrome
Graves' disease
Myxoedema
Premature ovarian failure
Primary hyperaldosteronism
Prolactinoma
Multinodular goitre
Thyroiditis
A

Prolactinoma

Prolactin suppresses gonadotrophins
High prolactin when breastfeeding, don’t want high gonadotrophins

53
Q

Prolactin: 1000 (high)
IGF1: 100 (high)
OGTT: failure of GH suppression

Acromegaly
Adrenal insuficiency
Cushing's syndrome
Graves' disease
Myxoedema
Premature ovarian failure
Primary hyperaldosteronism
Prolactinoma
Multinodular goitre
Thyroiditis
A

Acromegaly

Raised IGF1
GH normally suppresses when given glucose
Prolactin is raised either due to co-secretion or dopamine suppression is inhibited due to compression of the stalk

54

LH: 35 (high)
Prolactin: 200

Acromegaly
Adrenal insuficiency
Cushing's syndrome
Graves' disease
Myxoedema
Premature ovarian failure
Primary hyperaldosteronism
Prolactinoma
Multinodular goitre
Thyroiditis
A

Premature ovarian failure

Lack of oestradiol
Lack of negative feedback
Increased gonadotrophin secretion

55
Q

Acromegaly
Adrenal insuficiency
Cushing's syndrome
Graves' disease
Myxoedema
Premature ovarian failure
Primary hyperaldosteronism
Prolactinoma
Multinodular goitre
Thyroiditis
A

Myxoedema

TRH stimulates prolactin release hence high prolactin

56
Q 
Free T4: 12 (10-20)
TSH 1.0 (0.5-5.0)
LH: 1
