The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in the treatment of patients with chronic liver failure.

The study included 129 participants; 114 who had been diagnosed with chronic liver failure and fifteen healthy subjects who served as normal controls. Those with liver failure were randomly divided into two groups: 56 in the rhGH treatment group received 4.5IU of rhGH intramuscularly daily for 4 weeks and 58 in the control-treatment group. Serum GH, IGF-1, IGFBP-3 (IGF binding protein 3), and insulin levels were tracked for all participants.

The serum GH, IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and insulin levels in patients with chronic liver failure were significantly different than the levels in the normal controls. Those patients who were treated with rhGH showed a significant increase in serum IGF-1, IGFBP-3, albumin, proalbumin, and cholesterol levels while serum GH and insulin levels decreased. The study compared survival rates in the rhGH treatment and control-treatment groups after 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months of treatment. Survival rates with rhGH treatment were significantly higher, particularly at 3 and 6 months.

The researchers concluded that rhGH replacement therapy increased albumin and tended to improve survival in adult patients with chronic liver failure.
