- Abstract
The article explores the challenge of diagnosing growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in adults. Topics discussed include several conditions associated with GHD and the potential use of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) for primary screening. The results of a study on IGF-1 values in young adult Italian thalassemia major (TM) patients are also discussed.
