This module is not about growth hormone alone, but rather it is about evaluating growth hormone levels and their consideration as one clinical factor among many in a comprehensive adult patient-oriented diagnosis, prevention and lifestyle alteration program. DHEA and thyroid are also evaluated in conjunction with growth hormone. Examined are the signs and symptoms, pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis and treatment of AGHD plus DHEA and thyroid imbalance. Also discussed are risks and benefits of human growth hormone replacement therapy in a proven adult deficiency, including mode of growth hormone replacement and side effects—as well as risks and benefits of thyroid and DHEA supplementation, various forms of thyroid supplementation and side effects. Clinical evaluation and patient management for an AMM program follows, including initial evaluations and follow-up consults. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Outcome Objectives After completing this module, the physician will be able to . . . • Describe the metabolic pathway of human growth hormone Identify the signs and symptoms of AGHD patients • • Module Content • Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis physiology and measurement • www.cenegenicsfoundation.org 9 http://www.cenegenicsfoundation.org
