Growth hormone therapy in a girl with Turner syndrome and diabetes type 1 - case report.

CONCLUSIONS: The decision of rGH therapy in TS with diabetes is certainly difficult. While starting the growth hormone treatment the clinician must keep in mind the risk of metabolic complications, but also the awareness that gives the patient a chance to improve the final height. In terms of the proper psycho-emotional development the reduction of growth deficit is very important. PMID: 26615017 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
