Exercise as a screening test for growth hormone deficiency in children.
Lacey, K. A., Hewison, A., and Parlin, J. M. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48,508. Exercise as a screening test for growth hormone deficiency in children. The serum growth hormone response to exercise has been evaluated in 98 children with short stature. In 65 children growth hormone deficiency was excluded by a single postexercise level of more than 20 mIU/ml. The test is simple an...
متن کاملUrinary growth hormone excretion as a screening test for growth hormone deficiency.
Overnight urinary growth hormone secretion was measured by an immunoradiometric assay incorporating commercially available reagents, in 41 normal prepubertal school-children from three age groups: 3-5 years, 6-7 years, and 9-10 years.

In order to characterize higher risk subpopulations we studied 77 patients with AGHD, 35 with childhood onset (AGHD-CO): CA 18-44 yr.; 13 females and 22 males, and 42 with adult o...
