An investigation into gonadal dysfunction in patients with idiopathic haemochromatosis.
Clinical Endocrinology 1977 May
Endocrine studies were performed on twelve patients with proven idiopathic haemochromatosis. Basal gonadotrophin levels and/or their responses to LH releasing hormone (LHRH) were low in nine patients, all of whom showed low plasma testosterone levels and clinical evidence of hypogonadism. Those patients with normal gonadotrophin responses had higher testosterone values, suggesting that the poor testosterone secretion was primarily due to inadequate trophic stimulation. No patient showed hypothyroidism of hypothalamic-pituitary origin, while the cortisol response to hypoglycaemia was normal in all six patients studied. GH responses were more variable and difficult to interpret, since the number of the patients studied was small and the degree of hypoglycaemia after insulin was unpredictable.
