Preparing for NIH visit

  • Before we determine that your child is eligible for the study, we will ask your permission to review your child's medical records. We will contact you within 8 weeks from the time of receipt of the records to notify you whether your child is eligible to participate.
  • Before you come at the NIH, your child has to discontinue any medication you take for the diagnosis of growth hormone excess for at least 6 weeks.
