Diagnosis and management of prolactinoma

Andersen M

Prolactinomas are the most prevalent pituitary adenomas. The incidence of prolactinomas varies with age and sex. The ratio between women and men has been estimated to 10:1 before the age of 50 years. Hypogonadism and infertility are important clinical problems associated with prolactinomas. There may be mass effects including visual field defects in a patient with a macroadenoma.Hyperprolactinaemia is a relatively frequent finding in women. It is importa...

Pituitary tumours in adolescents and adults

Andersen M.

Pituitary tumours are usually benign, but aggressive local growth may occur. Malignancy with demonstrable extracranial metastases is rarely seen. Tumour formation is probably the result of genetic changes involving tumour suppressor gene inactivation and oncogene activation. Pituitary adenomas that occur in a familial setting account for 4–5% of the tumours, they can be part of endocrine-related tumour syndromes. In 2006, Vierimaa et al.1 reported the re...

Hyperthyroidism in pregnancy

Linding Andersen Stine

Hyperthyroidism in pregnancy should be adequately managed to prevent maternal and fetal complications. The diagnosing of hyperthyroidism in pregnant women is challenged by the physiological alterations in thyroid function tests. Furthermore, the distinction between gestational hyperthyroidism and the hyperthyroidism of Graves’ disease presents a clinical challenge. Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder associated with the presence of thyroid stimulating hormone...

Age overlooked as a risk factors for osteoporosis

Andersen Stig , Nielsen Ole , Laurberg Peter

Osteoporosis is a debilitating condition that can be prevented by timely detection and treatment. Detection requires referral for dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) that depends on risk factors. We estimated the importance of risk factors for a T-score of <−2.5 measured by spine and hip DXA in all men and women referred from general practice for a DXA scan at Aalborg University Hospital during a 3 years period. Risk factors were assessed by questionnaire...

TSH is superior to T4 for the assessment of thyroid function

Andersen Stig , Linding Andersen Stine , Bruun Henrik , Riis Johannes , Noahsen Paneeraq , Westergaard Louise , Karmisholt Jesper

Background: Morbidity and mortality are associated with thyroid hormone levels in populations. This has invited a debate on what is the better parameter for assessment of thyroid function: the controlling hormone thyrotropin (TSH) or peripheral thyroid hormone measurements (thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)).Aim: To assess the ability of TSH and total T4 (TT4) to discriminate between subtle differences in thyroid function.Me...

Iodine status in danish pregnant women after an increase in iodine fortification: a regional study

Knosgaard Louise , Andersen Stig , Bo Hansen Annebirthe , Nodgaard Sorensen Anne , Vestergaard Peter , Linding Andersen Stine

Objectives: The Danish population was previously iodine deficient with regional differences, and a mandatory iodine fortification of salt was introduced more than 20 years ago. Despite iodine fortification and frequent use of iodine-containing supplements, the iodine status in Danish pregnant women was insufficient when evaluated in 2012 (median urinary iodine concentration (UIC): 101 µg/l). From July 1, 2019 the authorities implemented a mandatory increase from 13 to 20 ...
