Research progress of growth hormone in the treatment of small for gestational age infants
Generally,small for gestational age(SGA)infants will catch up with growth after birth,but some SGAs fail to show enough catch-up growth,leading to physical growth backwardness,and the risk of metabolic diseases in adult offspring increases.The application of exogenous growth hormone replacement therapy can ensure and promote the occurrence of SGA catching up with growth.However,as growth hormone exerts therapeutic effects in related clinical diseases,clinical attention is gradually being paid to whether growth hormone may bring long-term risks.This article aims to review the efficacy and potential risks of growth hormone treatment for SGA.
