[Normal values of growth hormone assay in urine in adults, established with a commercial kit].
Normal range values of urinary growth hormone excretion (GH-u) were established in 30 healthy adults with a commercial kit (h GH u Coatria, bioMérieux). Six complete GH-deficient patients, three acromegalic patients, and five diabetic patients with nephropathy were also studied. The authors conclude that GH-u measurement in adults in useful to evaluate GH production in subjects with normal renal function.
