Dwarfism - WebHealth
Description
Excerpted from the website description:
- Dwarfism is due to growth hormone deficiency and leads to stunted growth. When the physician measures the head circumference, the body length and weight of the baby and child at intervals and when this is plotted as a growth curve, the child's growth chart will show clearly at one point when the growth rate is abnormally low. This can be due to a lack of HGH and IGF-1 and further sophisticated tests have to be done by a child endocrinologist. The specialist likely will do a GHRH stimulation test to pinpoint what the reason would be for the short stature. In adults GH deficiency is not that obvious and manifests itself through premature aging, thinning skin, dry brittle hair and a general loss of vitality including a loss of sex drive. The treatment for growth homnone deficiency is by injection of human recombinant growth hormone.
