Recombinant growth hormone treatment for AIDS/HIV-associated wasting and lipodystrophy

Record ID 32013000154
English
Authors' recommendations: Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is used in the treatment of AIDS-associated wasting and lipodystrophy; tesamorelin, an analog of growth hormone–releasing factor (GHRF), is used for treatment of AIDS-associated lipodystrophy. The goal of these treatments is to increase lean body mass in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated wasting and to reduce AIDSrelated abnormal morphologic and metabolic changes in HIV patients with lipodystrophy.
