Pituitary function was assessed in twelve male patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis. Though clinical features suggestive of hypogonadism were noted in nine cases, impaired pituitary function was demonstrated in only two instances. Our findings suggest that factors other than pituitary or testicular failure contribute significantly to the occurrence of sexual hypofunction and other features suggestive of hypogonadism seen in many of these patients.
