Growth Hormone Deficiency [PDF]
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 1987 Growth hormone deficiency is relative, not absolute. Conventional stimulation tests of hGH release do not recognise some children who will benefit from hGH treatment and it is probably justified, at this point, undertaking a six month trial of hGH in all short children who are growing slowly (less than 4 cm/yr).
