Growth Hormone Replacement for Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency
Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2003Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in childhood causes growth retardation, short stature and significant impairment of adult height. Growth hormone (GH) has been given successfully to these children for > 40 years but only since the introduction of recombinant DNA technology, has enough GH been available for paediatric needs and also for other indications.

Dosing of Growth Hormone in Growth Hormone Deficiency
Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 1999Growth hormone (GH) treatment of GH-deficient (GHD) children is to a certain extent standardized worldwide. Recombinant 22 kDa GH is injected once daily by the subcutaneous route, mostly in the evening. The amount of GH injected (calculated per kg body weight or body surface area, expressed in terms of IU or mg) in prepubertal children mimics the known

Growth hormone deficiency in the adult
Pituitary, 2006Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in adults may be of either adult or childhood onset and may occur as isolated GHD or as multiple hormone deficiencies. Adult-onset GHD (AoGHD) usually results from damage to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus. GH is frequently undetectable in normal subjects and thus GHD cannot be distinguished from the normal state ...

Growth hormone deficiency in children
Pituitary, 2008The foundation for the diagnosis of growth hormone (GH) deficiency in childhood must be auxology, that is, the comparison of the child's growth pattern to that of established norms for gender and ethnicity. It is only in those growing considerably more slowly than average that testing for GHD makes sense. Assessment of laboratory tests, whether static,

Genetics of Growth Hormone Deficiency
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2007When a child is not following the normal, predicted growth curve, an evaluation for underlying illness and central nervous system abnormalities is required and appropriate consideration should be given to genetic defects causing growth hormone (GH) deficiency.
