Increased bone mineral density is not seen in GH deficiency Features of growth hormone deficiency are: Clinical Imaging Laboratory Increased body fat mass Decreased lean body mass Increased waist-to-hip ratio Impaired cardiac structure & function Impaired lipid profile Atherosclerosis Decreased fibrinolytic activity Pituitary- mass or structural damage Bone- decreased bone mineral density Abdomen- excessive omental fat Evoked GH <3ng/ml IGF-1: decreased Increased LDL
Abnormal lipid profile
Atherosclerosis
Increased bone mineral density
Increased waist-to-hip ratio
Disorders of pituitary gland
