Abstract

Most children with idiopathic isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) normalize GH response to stimulation tests when retested at the completion of growth. The objective of this study was to test the effectiveness of early retesting in challenging the diagnosis of idiopathic IGHD and critically review the diagnostic workup leading to this diagnosis in children with short stature.
