Treatment of Growth Hormone Insufficiency
Developmental Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2017Growth during childhood is growth hormone dependent and is modulated predominantly by the amplitude of the growth hormone secretory bursts while the frequency of these episodes remains relatively constant at 180-200 min. Optimisation of therapy for children with growth hormone insufficiency requires a clear definition of the dose of the growth hormone ...

Evaluating growth hormone treatment
Nursing Standard, 1992The consequences in later life for people whose growth in childhood has been restricted can be profound, often with severe emotional or psychological effects. The author defines the causes of short stature and describes clinical trials being undertaken to evaluate the use of growth hormone in children who do not appear to have growth hormone deficiency.

Growth Hormone Treatment in Children
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1997GH therapy increases final height in GH-deficient children. Short-term growth acceleration is also seen in children with many other causes of shortness. This review covers the diagnosis of GH-deficiency (GHD) and the details of GH treatment and its long-term results in GH-deficient patients and in those with other conditions, including "idiopathic ...

Growth Hormone Treatment of Non–Growth Hormone-Deficient Growth Disorders
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2007Although a large body of data on efficacy and safety of growth hormone (GH) treatment for various non-growth hormone-deficient (GHD) growth disorders has accumulated from a combination of clinical trial and postmarketing sources in the last 20 years or more, there remain limitations.

NOCTURNAL PULSATILE GROWTH HORMONE RELEASING HORMONE TREATMENT IN GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY
Clinical Endocrinology, 1986SUMMARYWe have treated five GH‐deficient prepubertal children (4 M, 1 F) with GH releasing hormone1–40 (GHRH1–40) in two dosage regimens over 9 months. Profiles of serum GH concentrations were obtained over 24 hours before treatment and nocturnal profiles were obtained serially throughout the study.

Treatment of radiation‐induced growth hormone deficiency with growth hormone‐releasing hormone
Clinical Endocrinology, 1997In children with hypothalamic causes for GH deficiency there are theoretical reasons why a GHRH analogue might be better than conventional GH therapy in promoting growth.OBJECTIVEWe have aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of growth hormone‐releasing hormone (GHRH) (1–29)‐NH2 given as a twice daily subcutaneous injection in the treatment of ...

Predicting growth in response to growth hormone treatment
Growth Hormone & IGF Research, 2009The use of growth hormone (GH) to treat children who have disturbances of growth is complicated by variability both within and across diagnostic groups, and at the start of and throughout treatment. Growth prediction models are important tools in the effort to account for these sources of variability and tailor GH treatment to each patient's needs ...

Growth hormone treatment in adults with growth hormone deficiency: The transition
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2011The approval of GH treatment of adults with GH deficiency (GHD) raises issues regarding continuation of GH treatment in the GH-deficient child following achievement of near adult height. The transition period begins in late puberty and ends with full adult maturation and includes hormonal and many lifestyle changes.

Growth Hormone Treatment in Non‐Growth Hormone‐Deficient Children: Effects of Stopping Treatment
Acta Paediatrica, 1990ABSTRACT. Overnight physiological growth hormone (GH) secretion was evaluated in 95 short, prepubertal children (73 boys, 22 girls). All the children were below the 3rd centile for height and achieved CH levels greater than 15 mU/1 following pharmacological stimulation.
