Pediatric growth hormone deficiency

Dwarfed by growth hormone (GH) deficiency is called growth hormone deficiency and pituitary dwarfism. Short stature means that under similar circumstances, children's height is more than 2 standard deviations below the normal height of individuals of the same race, age, and gender, or lower than the 3rd percentile of normal children's growth curve. Among many factors, the effect of endocrine growth hormone (GH) on height plays a very important role.
