Abstract
Objective
To investigate the clinical effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in the treatment of children with growth hormone deficiency and its effect on thyroid function.
Methods
From June 2016 to June 2018, 81 children with growth hormone deficiency in Da Jiangdong Hospital of Hangzhou were selected.The rhGH was given 1 time before bedtime, and the treatment course was 6 months.The growth and development, bone metabolism and thyroid function were compared before treatment, 3 months and 6 months after treatment.
Results
The height and growth rate at 3 months after treatment [(131.76±2.28)cm, (10.40±0.87)cm/year] and at 6 months after treatment [(134.83)cm, (11.74±0.72)cm/year] were higher than those before treatment [(127.32±3.49)cm, (4.32±1.08)cm/year] (F=7.973, P=0.000, F=12.314, P=0.000), which at 6 months after treatment were higher than those 3 months after treatment (height: t=9.586, 16.405, growth rate: t=39.457, 51.448, P=0.000). There was no statistically significant difference in BMI among before treatment [(17.21±4.28)kg/m2], 3 months after treatment [(17.86±5.14)kg/m2] and 6 months after treatment [(18.01±4.35)kg/m2] (F=0.762, P=0.391). The serum levels of BGP and ALP at 3 months after treatment [(7.19±0.38)ng/mL, (129.34±8.97)U/L] and at 6 months after treatment [(7.94±0.63)ng/mL, (154.67±10.42)U/L] were higher than those before treatment [(6.38±0.57)ng/mL, (108.49±6.51)U/L] (F=8.971, P=0.000, F=15.427, P=0.000), and the levels of BGP and ALP at 6 months after treatment were higher than those 3 months after treatment (t=9.175, P=0.000, t=16.581, P=0.000). There were no statistically significant differences in serum FT3, TSH and FT4 levels before treatment, 3 months after treatment and 6 months after treatment (F=0.893, P=0.287, F=0.472, P=0.517, F=1.084, P=0213).
Conclusion
rhGH has significant clinical effects on children with growth hormone deficiency, and has no significant effect on thyroid function, which is worthy of clinical reference.
