Individualization of growth hormone therapy
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2008Short children born small for gestational age account for 20% of patients with short stature. These children should be investigated individually to identify treatable causes of their short stature and any associated neurodevelopmental problems. Randomized controlled growth hormone therapy trials demonstrate growth acceleration in childhood and improved

Growth hormone (GH) is a polypeptide secreted by somatotropic cells of the anterior part of the hypophysis. Its usage was firstly restricted to children with growth hormone deficiency. Because of molecular biology development and greater availability of GH, the range of its therapeutic applications has widened. Apart from supplementary management of GH

Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1966Seven children with anterior hypopituitarism and two children with possible isolated growth-hormone deficiency have been treated with injections of human pituitary growth hormone (HGH) for periods of three months to 3 1/2 years. Administration of HGH was planned to demonstrate the minimal dosage and the maximal interval between injections which are ...

Growth failure and hormone therapy
British Journal of Nursing, 2014One of the causes of growth failure is growth hormone deficiency. The outcome of growth hormone therapy to treat this depends on a number of multifaceted issues, including the child, the family and the choice of medication device. Providing support and promoting adherence—key nurse roles—are essential for success

Growth hormone therapy in adults
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1992The benefits of growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy of adults are currently being evaluated, and initial results indicate that 4 or 6 months of GH therapy alter body composition, with an increase in muscle and a decrease in adipose tissue mass. It remains to be determined whether this treatment substantially improves function.

Growth Hormone Therapy in Heart Failure
Heart Failure Clinics, 2018Several studies have shown that growth hormone (GH) deficiency is common in chronic heart failure and is associated with impaired functional capacity and poor outcomes. Data derived from animal models showed beneficial effects of GH treatment on peripheral vascular resistance, cardiac function, and survival.

Growth hormone therapy for the growth-hormone deficient child
2011Abstract In the five decades in which growth hormone has been prescribed for children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) there has been definite progress, but on the other hand there is still insufficient evidence to answer many basic questions.

Growth hormone from human pituitary glands has been available for 30 years. Because of the scarce supply and the danger of transmitting Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, use of the hormone was discontinued in 1984. Fortunately, synthetic growth hormone produced with recombinant DNA technology became available in 1985 and eliminated the risk of Creutzfeldt ...
