The diagnosis of hormonally active acromegaly has been aided by the radioimmunoassay for human growth hormone (hGH). We report a case in which baseline plasma hGH levels were elevated minimally and partial suppression during the glucose tolerance test occurred. Subsequent hGH assay of the cerebrospinal fluid, however, confirmed active acromegaly and correctly predicted suprasellar extension of the tumor.
人生长激素（hGH）放射免疫测定法有助于诊断激素活性型肢端肥大症。我们报告一例患者，其基础血浆hGH水平仅有轻微升高，葡萄糖耐量试验时有部分抑制现象。然而，随后对脑脊液进行的hGH测定证实为活动性肢端肥大症，并正确预测了肿瘤向鞍上扩展。
