| Core Tip |
Growth hormone provocative testing in children demonstrates considerable variability, which can complicate the accurate diagnosis of GH deficiency. This study emphasizes that oral clonidine and levodopa stimulation tests represent safer, more practical, and reliable alternatives to the insulin tolerance test. Additionally, adopting lower, optimized cut-off values for GH levels enhances diagnostic precision and reduces the risk of misclassification in pediatric patients undergoing evaluation. |
