- W2085196135 abstract "At present, the most appropriate method for diagnosing GH deficiency (GHD) in adults remains unclear. Recently, it has been demonstrated that GHD in adults can be identified by insulin tolerance test (ITT). Moreover, it has been described that the GHRH plus pyridostigmine (GHRH+PD) test is more accurate than an arginine, glucagon, levodopa, or GHRH test to diagnose GHD in adults. In the current study, firstly we reevaluated GH secretion by the GHRH+PD test in adults previously diagnosed as GH deficient in childhood. The study included 69 patients and 38 healthy subjects. After the GHRH+PD test, the patients and the healthy subjects had peak GH levels of 10.6 +/- 11.2 and 56.7 +/- 28.1 micrograms/L, respectively (P < 0.001). The patients were divided into two groups, responder patients and nonresponder patients, considering an arbitrary cut-off of 10 micrograms/L as the GH peak after the GHRH+PD test. Thirty-nine patients had GH peak below 10 micrograms/L (1.9 +/- 1.7 micrograms/L), whereas the remaining 30 patients above 10 micrograms/L (21.6 +/- 8.] micrograms/L; P < 0.001). Secondly, we compared the GHRH+PD test and the ITT in diagnosing GHD. Twenty-one of the 39 patients with a GH peak below 10 micrograms/L and 29 of the 30 patients with a GH peak above 10 micrograms/L after the GHRH+PD test underwent an ITT. The GH peak after insulin administration was 2.1 +/- 1.7 micrograms/L in nonresponder patients and 21.1 +/- 9.3 micrograms/L in responder patients after the GHRH+PD test (P < 0.001). Three of the responder patients to the GHRH+PD test were identified as GH deficient by the ITT. The relative diagnostic accuracies of the two tests to discriminate GH-deficient patients from healthy subjects were similar (ITT vs. GHRH test: sensitivity, 100%, specificity, 90%; GHRH+PD vs. ITT; sensitivity, 88%; specificity, 100%). In conclusion, in adults previously diagnosed as GH deficient, it is mandatory to reevaluate GH secretion. GHRH+PD and/or ITT are able to diagnose GHD in adults with similar accuracies. Taking into account the potential side-effects of the ITT, however, the GHRH+PD test is the most reliable and safe test to accurately diagnose GHD status in adults." @default.
