摘要：
In 1958 the first recorded case of a patient treated with human growth hormone for growth hormone deficiency was published. Since that time, the source and availability of human growth hormone have changed. With the increased availability of growth hormone, there has been an uptrend in the level below which childhood growth hormone deficiency is diagnosed based on provocative GH stimulation testing. This increase is despite better specificity of growth hormone assays in addition to a lack of supportive evidence regarding appropriate normal values. With these trends the diagnosis of childhood growth hormone deficiency is evolving, and clinicians should be aware that this may have potential ethical implications.
