Evolving growth hormone deficiency in children with a subnormal secretion of growth hormone - 11/09/11
Doi : 10.1016/S0022-3476(97)70216-6
Abstract |
Three growth-retarded children with a normal growth hormone (GH) response to provocative tests, but subnormal 24-hour integrated concentrations of GH and insulin-like growth factor–binding protein 3 (IGF-BP3) are presented. Retesting 3 to 4 years later demonstrated a subnormal GH response to stimulation. The initial subnormal growth rate and IGF-BP3, despite a normal GH response to stimulation, may be secondary to a subnormal integrated concentration of GH. (J Pediatr 1997;130:484-7)
