First-line treatments
Endocrine management
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Hormone replacement therapy for pituitary hormone deficiencies
Lifelong replacement of deficient pituitary hormones including growth hormone, thyroid hormone, cortisol, and sex steroids based on individual laboratory results and clinical presentation.
Endocrine function surveillance
Regular monitoring of hormone levels, growth parameters, metabolic markers, and developmental milestones through laboratory testing and clinical assessment to optimize treatment and detect new deficiencies.
Additional treatment options
Neurodevelopmental and psychological support
Comprehensive evaluation and ongoing support for intellectual development, behavioral concerns, and emotional well-being including counseling, educational support, and intervention services as needed.
psychologicalDesmopressin for central diabetes insipidus
If partial or complete diabetes insipidus is present, desmopressin replaces ADH deficiency to maintain fluid balance and prevent dehydration and electrolyte disturbances.
medicationEmergency preparedness and stress management
Education on stress dosing of corticosteroids during illness or procedures, medical alert identification, and development of action plans for adrenal crises or other acute hormonal deficiencies.
