Büyüme hormonu eksikliği

Büyüme hormonu eksikliği (BHE) tedavi edilebilir büyüme gerilikleri içinde en yüz güldürücü olandır. Kalıtsal ve edinsel nedenlere bağlı olabilir. İzole ve birçok hormon eksikliği ile birlikte görülebilir. Tanı kriterleri ve bu nedenle tedavi endikasyonları hala tartışılmaktadır.

Growth hormone deficiency

Growth hormone deficiency is the most promising entity in terms of response to therapy among the treatable causes of growth retardation. It may be due to genetic or acquired causes. It may be isolated or a part of multiple hormone deficiencies. Diagnostic criteria and therefore treatment indications are still disputed.
