Growth Hormone Deficiency Trends



  • Increasing prevalence of growth hormone deficiency fuels market growth


According to the published article in NCBI in March 2017, the estimated prevalence of GHD is approximately 2-3 in 10,000 population. GHD is caused by structural pituitary disease or cranial irradiation and occurs in the context of additional features of hypopituitarism. Pituitary adenomas are reported to cause adult-onset GHD followed by craniopharyngiomas, which accounts for approximately 57% of cases. In addition, childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency (CO-GHD) is one of the complex endocrine conditions that may have an impact throughout life, starting in childhood, and continuing till adulthood. Most of the CO-GH is reported to be congenital. The main co-morbidities and symptoms of GHD in adults and children are obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cerebrovascular diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and liver diseases. This increasing morbidity of GH disease in both children and adults is expected to drive the growth of the growth hormone deficiency market.
