pubmed:abstractText |
Growth deficiency is commonly seen in polytransfused beta-thalassaemia patients, especially in adolescence. It is not completely dependent on the lack of their pubertal growth spurt. GH impairment at different levels (hypothalamic or pituitary) and/or a reduced IGF-1 synthesis have been suggested the main causes of stunted growth in these patients. We evaluated the relationship between GH reserve and growth in short beta-thalassaemia patients.
