Özet

Background: Differentiation between growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and idiopathic short stature (ISS) based on GH tests and basal IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels may be difficult. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of pharmacological GH tests, IGF-I and IGFBP-3 generation test and height velocity off-treatment in the evaluation of GHD and ISS.
