Pituitary surgery frequently leads to one or more anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies but the incidence of GH deficiency is unclear. The aim of our study was to establish the incidence of GH deficiency in patients post hypophysectomy. Current NICE guidelines recommend GH replacement in severely GH deficient patients who have one or more other pituitary hormone deficiencies and diminished QoL by AGHDA.Thirty-five patients (M:F 15:20; age range 23&#150...

Introduction: The relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes is well-established. However, the precise impact of glucose control on the severity and progression of NAFLD remains largely unexplored. Currently, none of the non-invasive scoring systems used to assess NAFLD severity incorporate glucose control markers, such as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).Methods: Data were collected fr...
