Live scribing video: Priming with sexual steroids for GH provocative test in children
LAUNCH DATE: 23 September 2024
OVERVIEW
Priming with sexual steroids prior to GH provocative testing in children has emerged as a valuable approach to enhance diagnostic accuracy. By mimicking the physiological
conditions of puberty, steroid priming helps to stimulate endogenous GH secretion, thereby improving the sensitivity and specificity of GH stimulation tests. This method
optimizes the assessment of GH secretion capacity, particularly in children with delayed puberty or suspected Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD), enabling a more precise
diagnosis and tailored therapeutic interventions.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Increase the understanding of sexual steroids priming in children with growth delay
TARGET AUDIENCE
Endocrinologists, paediatric endocrinologists, paediatricians, health care providers
involved in the management of growth disorders
