Patient's question:
Can a child receive growth hormone if the growth hormone stimulation test results are normal? I see that many children have growth hormone stimulation test results indicating a lack of growth hormone and need to be given growth hormone. Can they still receive it if there is no deficiency?What kind of help is needed: Can a child receive growth hormone if the growth hormone stimulation test results are normal?

Doctor's answer:
Growth hormone is a recombinant human growth hormone derived from DNA, which has the same efficacy as human growth hormone. It can promote the growth of bones, internal organs, and the entire body, enhance protein synthesis, interfere with the decomposition metabolism of fat and minerals, and plays a crucial role in human growth and development. It is suitable for patients with growth hormone deficiency. For ordinary children, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. It's similar to how pigs are anesthetized to promote rapid growth, which has significant side effects.
