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).

Adult growth hormone deficiency [PDF]
Clinical Medicine, 2003 Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in adults arises as a consequence of decreased secretion of somatotropin (GH) from the anterior pituitary. The diagnosis of GHD is dependent on the demonstration of a subnormal rise in serum GH in response to one or more dynamic stimulation tests in the presence of co-existing pituitary disease or other pituitary hormone
