HGH growth hormone in children

HGH Growth Hormone is one of a number of hormones responsible for regulating normal growth in children. Human Growth Hormone deficiency can be either congenital (from birth) or acquired (through damage to the pituitary gland) and is generally defined as growth rate of less than two inches a year.

The symptoms of HGH deficiency aren’t usually noticeable until the end of the child’s first year, whereupon the growth rate will be approximately half that of a comparable child. To further complicate the diagnosis, HGH deficient children grow in perfect proportion; often simply appearing younger than their equals. Besides impeded growth HGH deficient children often experience additional symptoms including; impaired bone/ muscle development and delayed puberty. Each of these can have a knock-on effect on the child’s social and psychological development.

The good news is that since HGH was first clinically used in the 1950s it has proved a very effective form of treatment and received approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 2003. A deficient child given HGH injections can expect their growth rate to quadruple during the first year (effectively making them grow twice as fast as the norm). In the following years the growth rate will fall-off until the child reaches an average height. Injections are given on a daily or a weekly basis and can be administered by the parent or the child. While side effects with this type of HGH treatment are few and far between, the cost can put HGH therapy beyond many people’s financial reach.

Impaired childhood growth can be the result of a variety of factors, other than Human Growth Hormone deficiency, and it’s important for your doctor to rule out all other potential causes before commencing treatment.
