Monitoring

It is recommended that patients have:

  • Yearly evaluations for monitoring of hormone replacement

  • Yearly physical exam to screen for thyroid or adrenal dysfunction

  • Blood work every 3 to 5 years with thyroid-stimulating hormone, anti-adrenal antibodies, and fasting glucose for thyroid dysfunction, adrenal insufficiency, and diabetes

  • Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scans as appropriate.
