Growth Hormone Deficiency

Understanding Growth Issues

Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) occurs when the pituitary gland fails to produce enough growth hormone. In children, this manifests as short stature or delayed puberty. In adults, it can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, and metabolic issues.

Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for optimal outcomes, especially in children to ensure they reach a normal adult height.

Our Diagnostic Approach

• Clinical Assessment: Detailed analysis of growth charts and family history.
• Bone Age X-ray: Evaluating skeletal maturity.
• Stimulation Testing: Specialized tests to measure the body's ability to produce Growth Hormone.
• Pituitary MRI: Imaging to rule out structural causes.

Treatment Options

We provide safe and effective Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (rhGH) therapy. Our specialists closely monitor therapy to adjust dosages and ensure safety, maximizing growth potential while minimizing side effects.
