dc.description.abstract | Hypopituitarism is of diverse aetiology. Apart from pituitary adenoma and Sheehan's syndrome, snakebite is a common aetiology of hypopituitarism. A total of 82 patients of hypopituitarism were studied. Biochemical and radiological investigations were done in all the cases. A quality of life questionnaire was put among the patients. Scores were calculated from the answers of the questionnaire and they were assessed about quality of life. Though growth hormone deficiency is associated with poor quality of life there were no significant differences with patients with hypopituitarism without any growth hormone deficiency. | en_US |
