Aspectos de segurança do tratamento com hrGH

Abstract: O tratamento com hormônio de crescimento recombinante humano (hrGH) tem sido realizado há mais de 20 anos, visto que seu perfil de segurança é considerado excelente. Nos principais bancos de dados internacionais, os eventos adversos relatados são raros, principalmente em pacientes com deficiência isolada do hormônio de crescimento e na baixa estatura idiopática.

“…During treatment, it is observed an initial growth of feet and hands, eventually determining the recovery of normal size expected for age. GH has also been employed in other non GH deficient conditions presenting short stature, such as Turner syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), chronic renal failure, children born small for gestational age (SGA) and idiopathic short stature (ISS) (2)(3)(4)(5). Recovery of feet and hands size also occurs in SGA and PWS patients (3), known diseases presenting reduced extremities before therapy.…”
