Identifying several patient-related factors that predicted permanent growth hormone deficiency (GHD)

Mericq Veronica , Kariyawasam Dulanjalee , Iñiguez German , Polak Michel

GHD is the most common endocrine disorder in children with short stature (~1 in 4000). Appropriate diagnosis should synthesize auxological, biochemical and neuroradiological data. However, until now there are significant controversies, especially from the laboratory interpretation. A false positive diagnosis can lead to a significant wasted expenditure and unnecessary exposure to rare potential adverse effects. Given these open issues about biochemical diagnosis of GHD in chil...
