Direct Growth Hormone Therapy

Meaning

Direct Growth Hormone Therapy involves the clinical administration of exogenous, recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) to a patient. This treatment is specifically intended to supplement or replace deficient endogenous growth hormone production, often due to pituitary dysfunction or specific clinical syndromes. The goal is to restore physiological levels to support metabolic, somatic, and structural health, which is crucial for optimal body composition and bone density.
