Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a medical condition that occurs when the body is unable to produce enough growth hormone. Some synonyms for GHD include pituitary dwarfism, hypopituitarism, and somatotropin deficiency. These terms are often used interchangeably to describe the same condition. Symptoms of GHD can include short stature, delayed puberty, decreased muscle mass, and increased body fat. Treatment for GHD typically involves synthetic growth hormone injections, which can help to promote growth and development. If left untreated, GHD can lead to a range of health problems, including decreased bone density and cardiovascular disease. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential for managing GHD and preventing complications.
