title: [Pituitary investigations in idiopathic haemochromatosis (author's transl)].
abstract: Twelve patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis have been studied. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with normal prolactin appears to be a most constant finding. Other hypophysal functions are preserved. A rapid exploration of such patients with LHRH-TRH and insulin tolerance test is proposed.
