Administration of Growth hormone

Explanation:

   Pituitary dwarfism is a defect in body development caused by a growth hormone deficit, which translates into a lower than expected final height according to the individual's ethnicity, gender and family history.

   Growth disease can be resolved by timely administration of growth hormone from early childhood, usually at regular intervals, to late adolescence. However, therapy should be appropriate for each specific case, particularly after determining the hormone's blood levels and proving the possible variation of its pituitary secretion following the application of various stimuli.

   The success of therapy depends on when it is started, because if it is early the child can reach a final height according to the parameters considered normal.
