Can non-functional pituitary adenomas become functional years later? How often should labs be checked? How often should you have an MRI for monitoring a small pituitary adenoma? Thank you

Will there be a transcript available, not sure if my questions were addressed. I could not hear part of the webinar.
Hi Kari,
You can replay the video. It is posted at the top of this page. Unfortunately, they didn't get to all the questions during the webinar. We will post answers to your questions here in the discussion thread 🙂
Hi Kari,
It is very unlikely that non-functional pituitary adenomas would become functional years later. Regarding the frequency of labs and MRI, this depends on the scenario and the recommendations may change over time. This should be decided in consultation with an endocrinologist. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for your reply! That question has been on my mind for years and I would always forget to ask my neurologist. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. This webinar has been very helpful and has put my mind at ease.

Welcome back to Connect, Kari! Quite a bit has changed since you were last here. I hope you'll take a look around.
