ABSTRACT
Recombinant human growth hormone, synthesized in E.coli or
mammalian cells cultures, is since 1985, a useful therapeutic
resource to increase growth velocity and final height.
In this paper are discussed the four phases (aims, security and
efficacy, utility and efficiency) indispensables to define the start of
treatment, as well as the absolute, relative and metabolic indications
and the transitory and permanent conditions that contraindicate
its use.
It is commented the way to optimize the results (simple but indispensables
indications for the physician, the patients and their family).
Finally it is analyzed the results of treatment in patients with growth
hormone deficiency, Turner syndrome, chronic renal failure,
Prader-Willi syndrome, Noonan syndrome, SHOX deficiency, intrauterine
growth retardation and idiopathic short stature.
