The Human Growth Hormone Offers Benefits to Children who have a Short Stature
Research was done in 1989, at the National Institute of Health, to assess the benefit and value of the human growth hormone in kids who had a short stature. The results showed that the hormone will not bring about any growth in twenty to fifty percent of non-hormone deficient kids. The short statured kids, other than those who are short due to non-hormone deficiency will show an increase in their growth, though there is only a moderate increase in the final adult height.
According to the report given by the Food and Drug Administration, these non-hormone deficient kids, with a mean age of 19 years, showed an enhancement in their height ranging from 3 to 5 centimeters. This gain in height, apart from the normal assumed height is obtained after treatment with growth hormone injections for a period of four and a half years. This means that the increase in height above the predicted height will be almost little. In another study, high dosage of the hormone, with injections six times per week, for a period of five and a half years, increased the height by seven centimeters.
It is approved by FDA that short kids can undergo the HGH therapy by taking about 155 to 310 injections, every year for a period of two to five years.
In some it has been found that impractical expectations about the height, due to HGH therapy have resulted in disappointments. There is not much research evidence to say that this hormone shows improvement in managing the social problems related to short height. Social misunderstandings might occur even when the hormone treatment may bring up a positive change in height.
According to studies that were conducted, to investigate about the side effects of this hormone treatment, kids suffering from poor kidney function, showed an aggravation of the complaint. The growth hormone treatment sometimes increased the metabolism to an extent that the kids may become abnormally lean by losing loads of fat. It has also been observed that, in some kids, antibodies are produced against the growth hormone, which does not interfere with the growth hormone at all.
According to Eli Lilly’s research work, kids with idiopathic short stature undergoing growth hormone therapy increased their average height by about three inches.
