Suggest treatment for congenital growth hormone deficiency
Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My grandson (1 year 6 months) has been dignosed with congenital growth hormone deficiency. We are based at Mumbai, India. I wish to have an idea about the approximate cost of treatment and the duration of treatment. I shall be much obliged to receive this information, doctor please. My email id is YYYY@YYYY Thanking you and with regards R Vijaynathan Doctor: Hi... I am a consultant in Kanchi Kamakoti CHILDS Trust Hospital in Chennai. YOU NEED TO HAVE THE GROWTH HORMONE THERAPY UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF AN ENDOCRINOLOGIST. THE APPROXIMATE COST WOULD BE AROUND 10 LACS PER ANNUM.This is just an approximation. If you could come over to Chennai and meet me, I will put you on to our Endocrinologist who is very good and experienced at this. We might get the medicine also for a lower cost.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
