Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy is beneficial for children with growth issues and adults with GH deficiency. It aids in achieving adult height in children and improving well-being and body composition in adults.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Pediatrics
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Growth hormone (GH) deficiency impacts children's stature and adult well-being.
  • Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is a key therapeutic agent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the established and emerging indications for rhGH therapy.
  • To define treatment endpoints in pediatric and adult GH deficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current clinical recommendations and evidence for rhGH use.
  • Analysis of therapeutic goals in different patient populations.

Main Results:

  • rhGH is indicated for pediatric short stature, hypoglycemia, renal failure, and Turner's syndrome.

  • Adult indications include post-pituitary surgery/irradiation or idiopathic hypopituitarism.
  • rhGH also shows promise in severe protein catabolism, like burns.

    • Conclusions:

    • rhGH therapy is a well-established treatment for various pediatric growth disorders.
    • It offers significant benefits for adults with GH deficiency, improving quality of life and metabolic health.
    • Further research may expand rhGH applications in critical care settings.
