Panhypopituitarism is a potentially life-threatening endocrine disorder that is classified by a distinct absence of the pituitary hormones which, consequently, causes hormone insufficiencies in the other endocrine glands, most notably, the thyroid, adrenals, and ovaries/testes, as the pituitary is unable to trigger their function. This dangerous domino effect, then, is what leads to the rise of the symptoms we face every day and the reason why we take our medicine and need constant blood work.
