“…Some authors had discussed the option to omit the OGTT from the diagnostic workup of acromegaly for cost and practicality reasons (46). However, the very weak correlation between baseline GH and GH nadir concentrations seen in our large cohort of healthy subjects does not support this idea.…”

“…Conclui-se, portanto, que existe um valor de GH basal acima do qual, combinado com IGF-1 indubitavelmente alto, seja possível identificar pacientes acromegálicos. Com base nos resultados do GH basal (Immulite) obtidos em adultos saudáveis, os limites de 5 µg/L para homens e 10 µg/L para mulheres parecem razoáveis, pois valores acima desses raramente são vistos em indivíduos normais, especialmente pela manhã, quando picos de secreção de GH em adultos são excepcionais (2). Em relação ao IGF-1 sérico, tivemos a oportunidade de analisar adultos (exceto gestantes) que exibiam níveis persistentemente acima do limite superior da normalidade (LSN) para idade, mas sem acromegalia e com adequada supressão do GH.…”
