[TREATMENT OF SHORT STATURE PATIENTS WITH NOPMAL GROWTH HORMONE SECRETION OF HYPOPHIS]
Insights
This study evaluated recombinant growth hormone and gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue treatments in 86 children with short stature due to various endocrine conditions. Results offer insights into improving final height outcomes for patients with poor growth prognosis.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Endocrinology
- Growth Hormone Therapy
- Genetics
Abstract:
The article presents the treatment outcome in 86 children with short stature associated with different endocrine pathology and saved growth hormone secretion (congenital adrenal hyperplasia chondrodystrophy, Turner syndrome, idiopathic short stature, syndrome biologically inactive growth hormone and other genetically determined pathology). This study extends prior knowledge about the outcomes of the treatment with recombinant growth hormone and luteinizing hormone--releasing hormone analogue (alone or in combination) in short patients with poor prognosis of final height.
