Adherence in children with growth hormone deficiency treated with r-hGH and the easypod™ device
PURPOSE Poor adherence to recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH) therapy is associated with reduced growth velocity in children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). This twelve-month observational study was to assess adherence in r-hGH patients treated with the easypod™, an electronic, fully automated injection device designed to track the time, date and dose administered. METHODS Ninety-s...
متن کاملAntibodies to Human Growth Hormone (hgh) in Human Subjects Treated with Hgh.
Human growth hormone (HGH) (1, 2) has been used experimentally and therapeutically in man since 1957 (3-5). The metabolic and growth-promoting effects of the parenterally administered hormone in humans (3-5) and the antigenicity of various HGH preparations in rabbits and in guinea pigs (6, 7) are well documented. This paper describes the appearance of specific antibodiesto HGH in the plasma of ...
متن کاملLong-term follow-up results of growth hormone therapy for patients with adult growth hormone deficiency.
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the long-term effects of growth hormone (GH) on markers of quality of life, glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism to validate the adequacy of long-term GH replacement therapy for adult GH deficiency (AGHD). DESIGN Eighty-three of 100 sequentially followed patients who received GH therapy were selected for this study. Forty-nine were men aged 26 to 78 years (mean, 52 ...
متن کاملComparison of Growth Hormone Treatment in Patients with Idiopathic Short Stature and Idiopathic Growth Hormone Deficiency
After recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) was introduced in the treatment of patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and idiopathic short stature (ISS), many studies have addressed the effect of GH treatment and changes in the height standard deviation score (SDS) after GH treatment. However, few studies comparing the effect of GH in Korean patients with idiopathic GHD and ISS have be...
متن کاملSingle dose and pulsatile treatment with human growth hormone in growth hormone deficiency.
The growth and growth hormone profiles in four children receiving three different regimens of treatment with human growth hormone (hGH) were compared. There was no significant difference in the rate of growth between the regimens; the rate of growth fell dramatically after treatment. Pulsatile administration of hGH was no better than conventional treatment.
