Journal Title: Міжнародний ендокринологічний журнал - Year 2018, Vol 14, Issue 3
Abstract
Background. Growth hormone therapy for idiopathic short stature (ISS) is a subject of debate, because of the heterogeneous endocrine profile in these children. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of mono- (testosterone enanthate) and combined therapy (testosterone enanthate and recombinant growth hormone) in adolescents with idiopathic short stature. Materials and methods. The examined youths of Uzbek population (n = 46) with constitutional delay in growth and puberty aged 14.8–16.2 years were divided into three groups in accordance with the type of treatment. Results. It was found that recombinant growth hormone (somatropin) therapy (0.033 mg/kg/day) in combination with testosterone enanthate (50 mg once every 21 days) is effective and increases the rate of growth in idiopathic short stature with delayed puberty. Conclusions. Monotherapy with testosterone enanthate at a low dose significantly increases the rate of growth in boys with constitutional delay in growth and puberty, compared with the group without treatment, but is significantly less effective than in the group of combined therapy.
