Sert, M, Sert M, Tetiker T, Kirim S, Kocak M: Clinical Report
of 28 patients with SheehanÊs Syndrome. Endocr J. 50(3):
297, 2003.
The mechanisms responsible for the development of
hyponatremia in patients with hypopituitarism have been
shown to be multifactorial:
(1) increased secretion of vasopressin because of glucocorticoid
deficiency or other factors, such as decreased volume or cardiac
output;
(2) urinary loss of sodium caused by aldosterone deficiency;
(3) impaired water excretion because of thyroid hormone
deficiency
(4) impaired water excretion caused by vasopressin
independent factors, such as decreased tubular fluid delivery to
the diluting site.
CONCLUSION
The most important clues for diagnosis of Sheehan’s
syndrome are lack of lactation and failure of menstrual
resumption after delivery that was complicated with
severe hemorrhage.
