GH therapy can increase short-term growth and improve ( near ) final height .
Increases in height are such that treated individuals remain relatively short when compared with peers of normal stature .
BACKGROUND Idiopathic short stature ( ISS ) refers to children who are very short compared with their peers for unknown or hereditary reasons .
Recombinant human growth hormone ( GH ) has been used to increase growth and final height in children with ISS .
OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of recombinant human GH on short-term growth and final height in children with ISS .
The growth and cardiovascular effects of high dose growth hormone therapy in idiopathic short stature
OBJECTIVE It Is possible that high dose GH treatment may have beneficial effects on growth but important adverse effects on cardiac function . We have therefore Investigated the efficacy and cardiovascular effects of high dose biosynthetic human GH ( r‐hGH ) treatment in children with idiopathic short stature and a normal pretreatment height velocity
