Diagnosis is based on clinical and laboratory findings of low serum osmolality and low serum sodium. [13] Urinalysis reveals a highly concentrated urine with a high fractional excretion of sodium (high sodium urine content compared to the serum sodium). [14] A suspected diagnosis is based on a serum sodium under 138.
Sheehan's syndrome, also known as postpartum pituitary gland necrosis, occurs when the pituitary gland is damaged due to significant blood loss and hypovolemic shock (ischemic necrosis) or stroke, originally described during or after childbirth leading to decreased functioning of the pituitary gland (hypopituitarism).

Poor balance or coordination due to cerebral ataxia. [8] Eye defects such as coloboma or ptosis. [13] Increased incidence of color-blindness [18] [19] The exact genetic nature of each particular case of KS/HH will determine which, if any, of the non-reproductive features will occur. The severity of the symptoms will also vary from case to case.
Adipsia, also known as hypodipsia, is a symptom of inappropriately decreased or absent feelings of thirst. [1] [2] It involves an increased osmolality or concentration of solute in the urine, which stimulates secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the hypothalamus to the kidneys.
The causes of the HAIR-AN syndrome are not fully understood. Some studies hypothesize that the HAIR-AN syndrome is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. [7] [1] HAIR-AN is found in 1-3% women affected hyperandrogenism. [8] Other studies have proposed the SAHA syndrome as a cause of the HAIR-AN syndrome. [9]
Signs and symptoms of this progressive disease tend to become more marked as the child ages.
