A few days ago, Shouguang City People’s Hospital successfully carried out the double stimulation test of short stature growth hormone, which filled the gap of this technology in Shouguang City and played a positive role in promoting the standardized development of children’s growth and development clinics.
Growth hormone is an endocrine hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain, which plays a major role in the growth and development of the human body, especially on height growth. Therefore, the lack of growth hormone can lead to children short and small. Growth hormone double challenge test is mainly used as the main basis for diagnosing growth hormone deficiency in children. Accurate growth hormone double challenge test can not only find the cause of short stature for clinicians, but more importantly, it can be used as a reference for the dosage of growth hormone therapy to standardize the treatment of short stature.
However, the traditional growth hormone single challenge test has a false positive rate of about 15%, which cannot accurately diagnose growth hormone deficiency. The Third Department of Pediatrics and Children’s Health Clinic of the People’s Hospital successfully carried out the “Double Provocation Test”, which filled the gap of this technology in the city.
In addition to targeted treatment in this trial, the doctor will also emphasize the importance of family living habits and give detailed guidance on nutrition, exercise, sleep, psychology and other aspects. Parents need to supervise at home. The child develops good living habits, regularly monitors the child’s height, and pays close attention to the growth curve and speed.
The hospital’s third department of pediatrics and child health care outpatient medical staff have successively gone to the Children’s Hospital of Shandong University, Shandong Qilu Hospital and other provincial hospitals for further study. They have mastered advanced knowledge of children’s health care and have been committed to providing Parents of children provide professional guidance on children’s growth and development, psychological and behavioral problems, intellectual education, etc., and provide children with more scientific, high-quality and efficient child health care services.
