ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate the accuracy of serum IGF-1 in the detection of isolated (IGHD) or combined growth hormone deficiency (CGHD) at the transition phase. SUBJECTS AND

METHODS:

Forty nine patients with GHD during childhood [16 with IGHD (10 men) and 33 with CGHD (24 men); age 23.2 ± 3.5 yrs.] were submitted to an insulin tolerance test (ITT) with a GH peak < 5 µg/L used for the diagnosis of GHD at the transition phase. Pituitary function and IGF-1 measurements were evaluated in the basal sample of the ITT. Transition patients were reclassified as GH-sufficient (SGH; n = 12), IGHD (n = 7), or CGHD (n = 30).

RESULTS:

Five (31%) patients with IGHD and 32 (97%) with CGHD at childhood persisted with GHD at retesting. One patient with IGHD was reclassified as CGHD, whereas 3 patients with CGHD were reclassified as IGHD. Mean GH peak was 0.2 ± 0.3 µg/L in the CGHD, 1.3 ± 1.5 µg/L in the IGHD, and 18.1 ± 13.1 µg/L in the SGH group. Serum IGF-1 level was significantly higher in the SGH (272 ± 107 ng/mL) compared to IGHD (100.2 ± 110) and CGHD (48.7 ± 32.8) (p < 0.01). All patients reclassified as CGHD, 86% reclassified as IGHD, and 8.3% reclassified as SGH had low IGF-1 level, resulting in 97.3% sensitivity and 91.6% specificity in the detection of GHD at the transition period; the cutoff value of 110 ng/mL showed 94.5% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Mean IGF-1 values did not differ in IGHD or CGHD associated with one, two, three, or four additional pituitary deficiencies.

CONCLUSION:

IGF-1 measurement is accurate to replace ITT as initial diagnostic test for IGHD and CGHD detection at the transition phase.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Avaliar a acurácia da dosagem sérica de IGF-1 no diagnóstico da deficiência de hormônio de crescimento isolada (DGHI) ou combinada (DGHC) na fase de transição. SUJEITOS E

MÉTODOS:

Quarenta e nove pacientes com DGH na infância [16 DGHI (10 homens) e 33 DGHC (24 homens); idade 23,2 ± 3,5 anos] realizaram teste de tolerância à insulina (TTI), com pico de GH < 5 µg/L considerado diagnóstico de DGH na transição. Função hipofisária e níveis de IGF-1 foram determinados na amostra basal do TTI e os pacientes foram reclassificados em GH suficientes (SGH; n = 12), DGHI (n = 7) ou DGHC (n = 30).

RESULTADOS:

Cinco (31%) pacientes com DGHI e 32 (97%) com DGHC na infância persistiram com DGH no reteste. Um paciente com DGHI foi reclassificado como DGHC e três com DGHC como DGHI. Os picos médios de GH foram 0,2 ± 0,3 µg/L (DGHC), 1,3 ± 1,5 µg/L (DGHI) e 18,1 ± 13,1 µg/L (SGH). O nível médio de IGF-1 foi maior no grupo SGH (272 ± 107 ng/mL) comparado com DGHI (100,2 ± 110) e DGHC (48,7 ± 32,8) (p < 0,01). IGF-1 baixo foi observado em todos os pacientes reclassificados como DGHC, 86% dos DGHI e 8,3% dos SGH, resultando em sensibilidade de 97,3% e especificidade de 91,6% para detecção de DGH na transição; valor de corte de 110 ng/mL mostrou 94,5% sensibilidade e 100% especificidade. O nível médio de IGF-1 foi similar nos pacientes com DGHI ou DGHC com uma, duas, três ou quatro deficiências hipofisárias associadas.

CONCLUSÃO:

A dosagem sérica de IGF-1 mostrou-se acurada para substituir o TTI na detecção tanto de DGHI como DGHC na transição.
