Abstract:
GH treatment improves height growth rate in our patients, maintaining a significant efficacy along 2 years. Our results confirm that APA are detectable in CD patients with GHD suggesting an involvement of autoimmune mechanisms in the lack of height improvement after GFD. These patients could benefit by precocious hormonal therapy, interrupting the progression towards a stable clinical disease.
