A Study to Evaluate Copeptin as a Biomarker for Central Diabetes Insipidus Development Following Pituitary Surgery
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to investigate if a blood test measuring copeptin within 24 hours following pituitary surgery could predict development of diabetes insipidus (increased urination and thirst with fluid balance problems) as opposed to the clinical methods we currently use.

A Study To Evaluate Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery And Pituitary Surgery Quality Of Life
Rochester, MN
The objectives of this study are to:
-
- Measure the short and long-term overall and nasal-specific quality of life (QOL) impact of patients undergoing Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery (EESBS) for pituitary and sellar lesions.
- Determine the relative difference in QOL impact of EESBS for patients undergoing surgery for functional and nonfunctional pituitary adenomas.
- Generate baseline data to development and validate a site-specific endoscopic-specific comprehensive QOL for EESBS.
- Particular tumors of interest include pituitary tumors, Rathke’s cleft cysts, craniopharyngiomas, clival chordomas and chondrosarcomas.
- Specific QOL aims focus on olfaction (sense of smell), gustation (sense of taste) and nasal function.
