Endocrine deficit after fractionated total body irradiation Ogilvy-Stuart AL; Clark DJ; Wallace WH; Gibson BE; Stevens RF; Shalet SM; Donaldson MDArch Dis Child 1992[Sep]; 67 (9): 1107-10Endocrine function was assessed in 31 children (17 boys) after fractionated total body irradiation used in the preparative regimen for bone marrow transplantation. Endocrine dysfunction was present in 25 children. Fifteen of 29 had growth hormone insufficiency 0.9-4.9 years after total body irradiation, yet only three of the 15 had received previous cranial irradiation. Five of 30 had thyroid dysfunction: two with a low thyroxine and raised thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration and three with a raised TSH and normal thyroxine concentration. Thus the incidence of thyroid dysfunction (16%) is much lower than that reported after single fraction total body irradiation (39-59%). In only two children were abnormalities of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis demonstrated. The majority of pubertal children assessed (n = 15) showed evidence of gonadal damage. All the pubertal girls (n = 5) had ovarian failure, although there was evidence of recovery of ovarian function in one girl. All seven boys in late puberty showed evidence of damage to the germinal epithelium, and two of three in early puberty had raised follicle stimulating hormone concentrations. Despite the use of a fractionated total body irradiation regimen, endocrine morbidity is substantial and children undergoing such procedures will require long term endocrine review and management.|*Bone Marrow Transplantation[MESH]|Adolescent[MESH]|Adrenal Insufficiency/etiology[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Child, Preschool[MESH]|Endocrine System Diseases/*etiology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Gonads/radiation effects[MESH]|Growth Hormone/deficiency[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Prolactin/deficiency[MESH]|Radiotherapy Dosage[MESH]|Thyroid Diseases/etiology[MESH]|Whole-Body Irradiation/*adverse effects[MESH] |
