2. Thyroid stimulating hormone can reflect the presence of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism;
3. Growth hormone can promote the growth of bones and internal organs, and can be used to assess growth and development;
4. Luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone can be used to determine the differential diagnosis of hypogonadism.
5. Prolactin abnormality can be seen in primary infertility, pituitary tumor and other diseases;
6. Antidiuretic hormone can be used to identify the differential diagnosis of central uremia and renal uremia.
Pituitary hormone measurement test can observe whether there is abnormal hormone secretion, abnormal pituitary function, etc., and can be used to assess pituitary function.
