Two hour mean GH is not superior to basal GH for the follow-up of acromegalic patients treated with Octreotide LAR®

There was no benefit to perform GH curves with the present protocol. It may be due to our established outpatient follow up protocol. The use of more complex protocols and the cost of multiple GH assays should be acknowledged, and probably reserved for patients with basal GH levels between 1 and 5 μg/L with discordant GH and IGF-I.
