A study of IGF-1 serum concentrations and kinetics of growth hormone assays in stimulation tests used for diagnosing insufficient somatotrope secretion
Introduction: The diagnosis of insufficient somatotrope secretion (growth hormone deficiency or GHD) is important in children.In France, a child is considered to have a deficit if no serum GH concentrations greater than 20 mIU/l are recorded in 2 different stimulation tests. One of the tests must be ‘coupled’, i.e. combining 2 pharmacological agents.However, this 20 mIU/l threshold does not take account of the type of tes...
