Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) happens when the pituitary gland doesn't make enough growth hormone (GH), which can lead to a number of health problems. It can be congenital, meaning it was there at birth, or it can be caused by brain injuries, tumours, or medical conditions. Children with poor growth, delayed puberty, and diminutive stature are most likely to have GHD. In adults, it might lead to poor bone density, low muscular mass, tiredness, and more body fat.
Age and degree of GHD affect the symptoms experienced. While adults generally have mood changes, lower energy levels, and cardiovascular risks, children with GHD may have a proportionate but clearly reduced stature. Usually, to evaluate hormone levels, diagnosis calls for blood testing, MRI scans, and stimulation tests.
Usually, treatment consists of synthetic growth hormone injections delivered daily. Early intervention can significantly enhance children's general development and growth patterns. GH replacement treatment aids adults in restoring energy, boosting metabolism, and enhancing quality of life.
