OVERVIEW
Management of patients with growth disorders is becoming increasingly complex, with a range of medications that may affect a patient’s growth and expanding uses of growth hormone treatment. Pediatric endocrine physicians and nurses must also be able to counsel patients who are not candidates for treatment. This monograph will review medications that have an impact on growth, as well as the conditions for which growth hormone therapy is indicated. Importantly, strategies for working with families with normal variant short stature, for which growth hormone therapy is not indicated, will be discussed.
