Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency Treatment
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Therapy is the most common treatment recommended for children experiencing GHD and other medical conditions. After diagnosis and proper testing if HGH is deemed appropriate. During Pediatric HGH Therapy, somatotropin is injected into the patient to promote healthy development and growth. During the first year of treatment, children are generally expected to grow four or more inches.
In order to determine if HGH is a viable option, we will look at the patient’s bone density levels to determine if the growth plates have been closed or not. This can be done with a simple x-ray.
