Overview / Abstract: |
Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a complex disorder that can present in childhood or adulthood and results in growth failure along with more serious complications, including delayed bone age, increased adiposity, and systemic symptoms. This activity reviews the complex management of GHD, from diagnosis through treatment. The activity also reviews the wide array of established and novel recombinant growth hormone therapy options, including long-acting growth hormone treatments. Strategies for shared decision making are also discussed, along with recommendations for transitioning patients from pediatric to adult care. |
