✦ Synopsis

The growth response during short-term growth hormone (GH) treatment was evaluated in eight prepubertal non-GH-deficient (non-GHD) children and compared with six prepubertal GH-deficient (GHD) patients. Standard doses of GH can improve growth rate in GHD and in some non-GHD patients. In neither group the growth response can be predicted by the acute increase in Thymidine Activity or Somatomedin-C levels. A diagnostic trial of GH treatment may be the only certain method of selecting the short non-GHD patients who may benefit fi'om long-term GH therapy.
