Key high-yield points
- Hypopituitarism = insufficient production of one or more anterior pituitary hormones, causing downstream target organ deficiency. The defining biochemical fingerprint is a low target hormone with a low or inappropriately normal trophic hormone (e.g. low free T4 + normal TSH = secondary hypothyroidism).
