A combined test of anterior pituitary function was used on 21 normal children. It shows that a comprehensive evaluation can be made of growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotrophic hormone, and gonadotrophin reserve. Simultaneous assessment of those peripheral glands associated with the anterior pituitary is possible by the measurement of thyroid hormones, cortisol, and gonadal steroids. The procedure can be completed in 4 hours with minimum inconvenience and distress to the child.
对21名正常儿童进行了垂体前叶功能联合试验。结果表明,该试验可对生长激素、促甲状腺激素、促肾上腺皮质激素和促性腺激素储备进行综合评估。通过测量甲状腺激素、皮质醇和性腺类固醇,可以同时评估与垂体前叶相关的外周腺体。该检查可在4小时内完成,对儿童造成的不便和痛苦最小。
