Hgh side effects

Few reasonable parents or physicians would incur a high risk of harm to a child to add a few inches to height. Most of the complications have been reported in children over 10 years of age or in adults. Though rare, the subsequent harmful side effects have been reported during HGH cure often enough to be assumed noncoincidental. Known side effects of HGH are few and rare.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) causes hip pain due to separation of the head of the femur from the shaft. SCFE usually requires casting or surgical pinning to reverse. Incidence in HGH-treated children can be about 1 in 1000.

Discontinuation

Pseudotumor cerebri (also known as benign intracranial hypertension) is manifested by severe headache, papilledema, nausea, and visual changes. All cases have been reversed, usually by temporary discontinuation or reduced dose of the HGH. Incidence is also perhaps 1 in 1000.

It typically disappears with temporary interruption of treatment. Fluid retention and edema in early months of treatment is rare in children but more common and occasionally extra severe in adults.

Joint pains are occasionally experienced by children or adults being treated with HGH. Carpal tunnel syndrome has also occurred in adults being treated with HGH, presumably due to a combination of tissue growth and fluid retention causing pressure on the tightly confined nerves and tendons of the wrists. Pancreatitis has been reported in a few patients receiving HGH, but a causal relationship seemed plausible in only a couple.

Study

A small but controlled study of HGH given to severely sick adults in an intensive care unit setting for the purpose of increasing strength and reducing the muscle wasting of critical sickness showed a higher mortality rate for the patients who received HGH. The reason is unknown, but HGH is now rarely used in ICU patients without severe deficiency.

Type 2 diabetes has been reported in a few adolescents treated with HGH. The following serious problems have been linked by one or two small reports but a true risk has not been confirmed by larger surveillance research. It uncertain whether this is a causal association because the incidence of adolescent type 2 diabetes is rising so rapidly in most countries that we no longer have reliable incidence statistics for diabetes in the untreated adolescent population.

Leukemia

For a variety of reasons, it has been harder to achieve the same level of reassurance for children who do have a higher leukemia risk. Available statistics are reassuring, but numbers are not large enough to exclude any amplification of risk. These are primarily children who are became HGH deficient as a effect of treatment for leukemia or a brain tumor. Because leukocytes have HGH receptors, leukemia cases have been carefully counted since synthetic HGH was introduced. Although a few children with no risk factors treated with HGH have developed leukemia, the numbers have been no additional than would be expected in a similarly sized group. Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer, occurring in about 1 in 40,000 children each year.

This association has not been confirmed and even if it were, it would need to be established whether the HGH treatment in childhood or the untreated HGH deficient state in adult life represented the true association. All had been treated as children with cadaver HGH. Several more cases of colon cancer were found in a study of lifelong health and mortality of a group of middle-aged British adults with severe HGH deficiency from childhood.

Finally, in any discussion of side effects, our experience with Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease 20 years after cadaver HGH cure reminds us that side effects of an apparently safe cure could be unforeseeable and long-delayed.
