- Abstract
- Adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) is nowadays recognized as a distinct clinical entity and replacement therapy has become a standard practice. The benefits of GH treatment seem to outweigh its potential risks but issues concerning long term efficacy and safety are still a subject of debate. More research is needed in some key areas and it remains essential to monitor patients by means of longitudinal surveillance studies.
