Abstract:Purpose The aim of this study is to correlate the growth response in prepubertal children with idiopathic growth hormone (GH) deficiency after one year of treatment with growth hormone to the initial clinical and biochemical parameters. It also aims to study the secretory dynamics of GH by analyzing the profiles of GH stimulation tests in relation to the recombinant GH (rhGH) treatment response.Methods This a retrospective study which included 84 prepubertal children (47 males and 37 females) with a definitive… Show more
