We report a case of short stature irresponsive to growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy. Low GH response to provocative tests and undetectable IGF-1 levels had suggested GH deficiency, while response to therapy indicated GH insensitivity. Molecular evaluation of the GH/IGF-1 axis should be performed in these cases to improve diagnosis and therapy.
我们报告一例身材矮小对生长激素(GH)替代治疗无反应的病例。对激发试验的GH反应低以及无法检测到的IGF-1水平提示GH缺乏,而对治疗的反应表明GH不敏感。在这些病例中应进行GH/IGF-1轴的分子评估,以改善诊断和治疗。
