Rare in adults : Adults w/gh deficiency (ghd) are often former pediatric ghd patients. These individuals often have a history of congenital pituitary abnormality, brain tumor, or traumatic brain injury. The latter 2, + pituitary bleeding cause most new onset adult ghd. Adult gh replacement is optional. Please discuss with your endocrinologist. There may be good benefits from treatment.
