HGH You may have never heard of hypopituitarism until your child was diagnosed with it. Hypopituitarism occurs when the anterior (front) lobe of the pituitary gland loses its ability to make hormones. The resulting symptoms depend on which hormones are no longer being produced by the gland. The pituitary gland controls many hormones including the growth hormone. A case with hypopituitarism could have symptoms that involve blood pressure‚ blood sugar‚ kidney function‚ sexual drive and multiple
