Overview

The diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency is based on the direct hormonal criteria, indirect hormonal criteria and radiological evidence of response to GH treatment.

Diagnostic Criteria

  • Diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency is a subject of debate due to high costs and complexity of investigations.
  • Several types of evidence are used to diagnose GH deficiency:
  • Many children and adults may not meet all the diagnostic criteria.
  • An ideal diagnostic test cleanly separates people who would benefit from a treatment from those who would not.
