[Initial results in the treatment of pituitary dwarfism using growth hormone].

Ten cases out of 25 patients with stunted growth were proved to have total or parcial deficiency of human growth hormone. Inmunoradioassay levels were detected by stimulation with insulinic hypogycemia. Throughout a period of observation of 3 up to 12 months, they were treated with H.G.H. in proper doses and a favourable response were recorded in all of them, with statural increments ranging from 138% up to 500%. The responses were evaluated by mathematical analysis of the slopes of growth. Therapeutic results obtained from the cases of other different etiologies are also presented.
