adult growthhormone deficiency Adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) is an underdiagnosed condition commonly associated with pathology of the hypothalamic-pituitary region. Patients with AGHD tend to live with a poor quality of life and often present with other clinical signs and symptoms.1 ...
GuidelinesGrowth hormone deficiency (GHD) in adults may be of either adult or childhood onset and may occur as isolated GHD or as multiple hormone deficiencies. Adult-onset GHD (AoGHD) usually results from damage to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus. GH is frequently undetectable in normal ...
Adult growth hormone deficiency (aGHD) is characterized by an altered metabolic profile and increased cardiovascular risk. Neudesin is a newly discovered protein mainly secreted from adipose tissue and brain, under evaluation for its possible activity as a negative regulator of energy expenditure. Liver...
Adult GH deficiency (AGHD) has been established as a syndrome associated with various metabolic disturbances such as hyperlipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance and protein catabolism, in addition to changes in body composition such as increased visceral fat, decreased muscle mass and bone density. We ...

The presence of GH deficiency does not seem to be correlated with the efficacy parameters of transfusional and chelation therapy. Other mechanisms, additional to iron overload, could therefore play a role in the pathogenesis of this clinical condition. The presence of GH deficit seems to be very...
Objective: To identify factors affecting adult height in Japanese patients with idiopathic growth hormone deficiency (GHD), who received growth hormone (GH) treatment during childhood. Methods: A retrospective pharmaco-epidemiological study of the effect of GH treatment on adult height standard deviation...
