Growth hormone deficiency in the adult [PDF]

Pituitary, 2006
Growth 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 ...

Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency [PDF]

Hormone Research, 1994
Several reports have focused on the clinical features of the untreated GH-deficient adult and the effect of GH therapy. The results reported are strikingly unanimous. Untreated GH-deficient adults have been shown to have increased cardiovascular mortality, reduced exercise capacity, reduced muscle strength, subnormal glomerular filtration rate and ...

Dosing of Growth Hormone in Growth Hormone Deficiency

Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 1999
Growth 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 children

Pituitary, 2008
The 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,

Isolated growth hormone deficiency

Pituitary, 2007
Isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) represents conditions of GH deficiency that are not necessarily associated with other pituitary hormone deficiencies or with an organic lesion. Three sub-categories of IGHD have been clinically identified (IGHD types 1-3), and IGHD type 1 has been further separated into IGHD types 1a and b.

Growth hormone therapy for adult growth hormone deficiency

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1996
GH deficiency in adult life is associated with a number of adverse biological changes including osteopenia, reduced exercise capacity, altered body composition, deleterious alterations in the lipid profile and insulin status, and reduced quality of life. Potentially, most of these changes can be reversed by GH replacement therapy.
