Understanding Your Pituitary Health Concerns
When you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms like persistent headaches, vision changes, or hormonal imbalances, it can be incredibly worrying. The pituitary gland, though small, plays a crucial role in regulating your body’s essential functions. Our Immunohistochemistry Pituitary Adenoma Panel Test is designed to provide the answers you need with accuracy and compassion.
What This Test Detects
This comprehensive panel examines multiple biomarkers to identify pituitary adenomas – benign tumours that can significantly impact your health. The test analyses:
- ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)
- FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone)
- GH (growth hormone)
- Ki67 (proliferation marker)
- LH (luteinizing hormone)
- LMWCK (low molecular weight cytokeratin)
- P53 (tumour suppressor protein)
- Prolactin
- Reticulin (structural framework)
- TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone)
Who Should Consider This Test
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide crucial insights:
- Unexplained headaches that don’t respond to usual treatments
- Vision changes or loss of peripheral vision
- Hormonal imbalances affecting weight, mood, or energy levels
- Unexplained fatigue or weakness
- Menstrual irregularities or fertility concerns
- Unexpected growth changes or acromegaly symptoms
- Family history of pituitary disorders
Why Early Detection Matters
Early identification of pituitary adenomas can significantly improve treatment outcomes and quality of life. With accurate diagnosis, your healthcare team can develop targeted treatment plans that address the specific type of adenoma, potentially preventing complications like vision loss, hormonal crises, or the need for more invasive procedures.
