Hormonal Disorders

Growth hormone deficiency

Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a medical condition characterized by insufficient production of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland. Growth hormone deficiency can occur at any age, but it is most commonly diagnosed in childhood when it can lead to short stature and growth failure. In adults, GHD can cause a range of symptoms, including decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, fatigue, decreased bone density, impaired cognitive function, and reduced quality of life.
