Introduction: The assessment of IGF-1 concentrations is one of the parameters used for evaluating response to rhGH treatment. An increase in IGF-1 concentration positively correlates with growth improvement. The IGF-1 concentrations significantly above the reference range may increase total the risk of possible side effects. High IGF-1 concentration is one of the reasons for rhGH dose reduction which affects the response to treatment.<st...
