 ==Overview==
-'''Growth Hormone Deficiency''' is the medical condition of inadequate production of [[growth hormone]] (GH) and its effects on children and adults. Growth hormone, also called [[somatotropin]], is a [[polypeptide]] [[hormone]] which stimulates [[growth]] and cell reproduction.
-Other hormonal or glandular disorders frequently coincide with diminished growth hormone production. GH deficiency can be congenital or acquired in childhood or adult life. It can be partial or complete. It is usually permanent, but sometimes transient. It may be an isolated deficiency or occur in association with deficiencies of other [[pituitary]] hormones. GH deficiency is treated by [[growth hormone treatment|growth hormone replacement]].
+==Historical Perspective==
-The term [[hypopituitarism]] is often used interchangeably with GH deficiency by [[endocrinologist]]s but more often denotes GH deficiency plus deficiency of at least one other anterior pituitary hormone. When GH deficiency (usually with other anterior pituitary deficiencies) is associated with posterior pituitary hormone deficiency (usually [[diabetes insipidus]]) the condition is termed [[panhypopituitarism]]. HGH also refers to [[human growth hormone]] but this older abbreviation has begun to develop paradoxical connotations.
