No Improvement of Adult Height in Non-growth Hormone (GH) Deficient Short Children with GH Treatment
It is still in doubt whether the standard-dose growth hormone (GH) used in Japan (0.5 IU/kg/week, 0.167 mg/kg/week) for growth hormone deficiency is effective for achieving significant adult height improvement in non-growth hormone deficient (non-GHD) short children. We compared the growth of GH-treated non-GHD short children with that of untreated short children to examine the effect of standa...
متن کاملThe effect of pubertal delay by GnRH agonist in GH-deficient children on final height.
Several strategies can be applied to optimize GH treatment in GH-deficient (GHD) children during puberty (1). In a recent issue of JCEM, Mericq et al. (2) reported their results of a prospective, randomized trial on the effect of GH alone or in combination with GnRH agonist (GnRHa) in pubertal GHD patients. They concluded that delaying puberty by GnRHa led to a near final height (FH) sd score o...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term effects of GH therapy in early diagnosed GH-deficient patients treated before 1 year of age. STUDY DESIGN We studied all 59 patients (33 males) recorded by Association France-Hypophyse and treated with GH (0.50+/-0.15 IU/kg (S.D.) per week) before 1 year of age.

متن کاملEffects of Growth Hormone (GH) Therapy Withdrawal on Glucose Metabolism in Not Confirmed GH Deficient Adolescents at Final Height
CONTEXT OBJECTIVE Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is associated with insulin resistance and diabetes, in particular after treatment in children and adults with pre-existing metabolic risk factors. Our aims were. i) to evaluate the effect on glucose metabolism of rhGH treatment and withdrawal in not confirmed GHD adolescents at the achievement of adult height; ii) to investigate the impact of GH...
متن کاملFinal height of patients treated for isolated GH deficiency: examination of 83 patients.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate retrospectively the influence of various auxological and laboratory parameters on final height in a group of GH-deficient children after replacement therapy and to compare their final height with that of a group of short children with normal GH secretion and hence not treated. The final height was evaluated of 83 patients (51 males and 32 females) af...
