Short stature Small for age. Reduce bone age. Pituitary & Hypothalamic disease
![Page 3: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Clinical features include◦ alterations in body composition
reduced lean body mass & bone mineral density increase in fat mass, particularly abdominal
◦ dry skin with reduced sweating◦ reduced muscle strength & exercise performance◦ impaired sense of well-being and other
psychological complaints
![Page 4: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Stunted growth in children Those with evidence of hypothalamic or
pituitary disease or cranial irradiation◦ likelihood of deficiency increases with number of
pituitary hormone deficits approaches 100% if 3-4 pituitary hormone deficits
exist Childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency
◦ all patients should be re-tested as adults before continuing treatment with GH
![Page 5: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Assessment suspected GH deficiency after clinical and
radiological assessment◦Detailed history and thorough physical
examination ◦ Exact chronological age of the child◦Determination of percentile of height and
weight according to the standard height and weight chart
◦Parental height and weight◦bone age of the patient - x- ray of the non
dominant wrist

Stimulation test:GH stimulation includes◦Exercise stimulation test◦L-Dopa stimulation test◦Clonidine stimulation test◦Insulin stress test◦Arginine stimulation test◦Sleep Test
![Page 8: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Dynamic tests of GH secretion◦ patients should be on stable & adequate
replacement of other hormonal deficits before testing
◦ the insulin tolerance test is the diagnostic test of choice
◦ providing adequate hypoglycaemia is achieved, this test distinguishes GH deficiency from the reduced GH secretion with ageing & obesity
![Page 9: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Diagnosis of GH related Growth Failure For establishing GH deficiency
◦ Two provocative tests (GH levels < 10 mIU/L) Partial GH deficiency
◦ Borderline response between 10- 20 mIU/L in one or two provocative tests
Rule Out other Causes of Dwarfism◦ Chromosomal analysis◦ X-Ray skull◦ Thyroid function tests.
![Page 10: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Should be performed in experienced endocrine units where the test is performed frequently
Contraindicated in those with ECG evidence of ischaemic heart disease and in those with seizure disorders◦ in these people, alternative tests should be used
![Page 11: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Principle Hypoglycaemia induced by IV insulin is a potent
stimulesfor GH secretion. ProcedureBasal Growth hormone levelsIV insulin (0.15 U/kg) is given Hypoglycaemia 2.2 mmol/L should ge obtained. GH levels are measured at 30, 60, 90 &180 min Interpertation> 20mIU/L means adequate stimulation
![Page 12: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
EXERCISE STIMULATION TEST Principle: Strenuous physical exercise causes GH secretion in normal
subjects Preparation:
◦ Fasting over night ◦ Early in the morning (0800 hours)
Procedure: Basal blood specimen for GH Rigorous exercise on a tread mill for 15-20 minutes Pulse is monitored during the test Blood specimen taken 10 minutes after the cessation of
exercise
![Page 13: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
L- DOPA STIMULATION TEST Principle L- Dopa stimulates growth hormone (GH) secretion from the anterior pituitary
gland measurements of which (GH) serve as a test of anterior pituitary function Preparation Overnight fast At 0800 hrs Procedure Basal sample for GH L- Dopa is administered orally preferably with food and milk Patient > 30 Kg: 500 mg Patient between 15 - 30 Kg: 250 mg Patient < 15 Kg: 125 mg
![Page 14: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sampling 5 ml venous blood is collected at 0 (basal) 60 minutes after L- Dopa administration Interpretation GH level > 20 mIU/L Normal response GH level between 10 - 20 mIU/L -suggestive of
partial GH deficiency GH levels < 10 mIU/L - GH deficiency
![Page 15: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Arginine Test Prepration NPO atleast 8 hrs prior to the test Procedure
1. Base line serum GH and somatomedin-C levels
2. Inject 0.5 g/kg (maximum 30 g) arginine over
30 min IV 3. Serum GH levels at 30,60,90, 120 mins
![Page 16: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Glucagon stimulation test Indications
Particularly useful when insulin induced hypoglycaemia is contraindicated.
ContraindicationHypothyroidismMarked adrenal failure Diabetes millitus
PrincipleGlucagon stimulates release of GH and ACTH by Hypothalamic stimulation and therefore indirectly stimulates cortisol.
![Page 17: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
GHRH -ARGININE STIMULATION TEST Indication To confirm persistence of childhood GH deficiency in early
adulthood if ITT is contraindicated, pt is over weight or has DM. Procedure Baseline GH and IGF-1 level Inject GHRH 1meg/kg (maximum dose 100 meg) as bolus.
Infuse 0.5 g/kg arginine as a 10% solution in normal saline over 30 min. Take sample for GH (but not for IGF-1) at 30,60,90, 120 & 150 min after start of arginine infusion. Monitor pule and blood pressure every 15 minInterpertaionGH level > 20 mU/L
![Page 18: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sleep Test Take advantage of known rise in GH conc. occuring with
deep sleep. Sample is obtained 60 – 90 mins after on set of sleep. Patient must be in the hospital or a clinical research centre
for testing. Interpertation: GH ≥ 15 mU/L ---- normal
![Page 19: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
One test in reconfirmation of childhood-onset GHD
One test only in adults with hypothalamic or pituitary disease and one or more pituitary hormonal deficits
Two test in adults with isolated GHD
![Page 20: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
B.Biochemical Markers of GH Action Serum IGF-I
◦ only of value with age-adjusted normal ranges◦ a normal serum IGF-I does not exclude GHD◦ a serum IGF-I below the normal range is
suggestive of GHD (in absence of confounding conditions e.g. malnutrition, liver disease, hypothyroidism)
◦ of greater value in presence of 2 or more hormonal deficiencies
![Page 21: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
B. TREATMENT of GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY in
ADULTS
![Page 22: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Patients who should be treated:◦ all patients with documented severe growth
hormone deficiency Goal of therapy:
◦ to correct abnormalities associated with severe growth hormone deficiency
![Page 23: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Objective:◦ To maximise benefit and minimise side effects
In practice, optimum dose varies greatly◦ sensitivity increase with age◦ men more sensitive than women
![Page 24: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Start with a low dose◦ 0.15 - 0.30 mg / day (0.45 - 0.90 U / day) ◦ subcutaneously at bedtime
Monitor response carefully◦ clinically and biochemically
Increase dose slowly◦ no more frequently than at monthly intervals
![Page 25: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Women aged 30 - 50 secrete on average 0.2 mg / day and men 0.1 mg / day
Sensitivity varies considerably between patients and probably between the sexes
The daily dose rarely exceeds 1 mg (3 U) Doses used now are lower than previously
and are no longer based on body weight or surface area
![Page 26: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Good clinical practice requires regular imaging of any residual pituitary disease◦ GH replacement does not impose any need to
intensify this A baseline MRI or CT scan is to be
recommended before GH replacement is started
![Page 27: Brig Waqar Azim MBBS, MCPS, Dip Family Medicine, FCPS, OJT Endocrinology Prof & HOD Pathology CMH Lahore.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ec15503460f94bcc73f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Growth hormone stimulation tests should confirm GH deficiency
Those receiving GH replacement should remain under supervision of an endocrinologist specialising in pituitary disorders
Monthly GH monitoring initially but once stabilised can usually be reduced to one or two times a year
