RJM I agree.

Guess I need to be more clear. My son has already done the IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 blood test and the GH stimulation test. He has failed both tests. The next step is the MRI of the pituitary gland to see if there are any visual issues (hoping there is not). The height was one of the first signs that there may have been an issue. The x-ray was another sign there was an issue. We have been seeing an endocrinologist for around 2 years.

Future height is only one concern with GHD as well as decreased bone density, increased cardiovascular risk factors, etc. This is why, even if there is impact to his future athletics, we will still do the treatment if needed for the long term health.

We just don't know if it will affect his future athletics by using the treatment.

I tried to do some research on the NCAA site, however a lot of it didn't make since.

Ones again thank you to everyone for the assistance.
