Growth hormone (GH) is produced by the anterior pituitary gland, and has a role in the regulation of protein, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in addition to increasing growth in children1.
Growth hormone secretion is intermittent and is predominantly produced during deep sleep. Peak growth hormone production is reached during adolescence, and production then declines by approximately 14% every decade1.
The Society for Endocrinology estimates that approximately 1 in 10,000 adults in the UK population will develop adult onset GHD1.
Adult patients who are commonly tested for GHD include:
1) Those with signs and symptoms of hypothalamic–pituitary disease (endocrine, structural, and/or genetic causes)2
2) Those who have received cranial irradiation or tumor treatment2
3) Those with traumatic brain injury or subarachnoid haemorrhage2
