summary
When our children suffer from growth hormone deficiency, we should go to the hospital in time to treat them. There are many ways to treat these diseases. We must master them well and pay more attention to the diet. We should not let the growth hormone deficiency affect the health of the patients. Now let's talk about how to treat the growth hormone deficiency.
How to treat growth hormone deficiency?
First, recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) replacement therapy has been widely used. At present, most of the patients are given 0.1 U / kg subcutaneous injection once a day before going to bed, 6-7 times a week. The treatment should be continued until the epiphysis is healed. The younger the age is, the better the effect is. The best effect is in the first year. The annual growth rate can reach more than 10 cm. Later, the growth rate gradually decreases. Thyroid tachycardia may occur in the course of rhGH treatment. Therefore, thyroid function should be monitored. If there is a lack of thyroid hormone, thyroid hormone should be added at the same time.
Second, there are few side effects of rhGH treatment, mainly as follows: ① local redness and swelling after injection, which is related to the lack of purity of rhGH material base and individual reaction, and can disappear after drug withdrawal; ② a few of them will produce antibodies several months after injection, but have no significant effect on the growth promoting effect; ③ the rare side effects include temporary papilledema, intracranial hypertension, etc, ④ In addition, studies have found that the incidence of slippage and necrosis of the epiphysis of the femoral head is increased, but the risk is quite low.
Thirdly, it is known that there are many cases of hypophyseal GH deficiency, so the application of GHRH can be effective for ghnd, but it is not effective for hypophyseal GH deficiency. Generally, the daily dosage is 8 ~ 30 μ G / kg, subcutaneous injection once a day in the morning and evening or continuous subcutaneous micro pump injection for 24 hours.
