GH Replacement Improves Quality of Life and Metabolic Parameters in Cured Acromegalic Patients with Growth Hormone Deficiency

Abstract

In GHD acromegalic patients, GH therapy improved body composition, lipid profile, and quality of life as in patients with GHD due to nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma, without negative effects on glucose metabolism. GH replacement therapy should be considered in these patients, as in patients with GHD from other causes.
