Human immunodeficiency virus hormone

It overcomes problems of product safety. Direct extraction of product from some native biological sources has, in the past, led to the unwitting transmission of disease. Examples include the transmission of blood-borne pathogens such as hepatitis B and C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) via infected blood products and the transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease to persons receiving human growth hormone (GH) preparations derived from human pituitaries.

Fatal viral infections resulting from the use of contaminated human tissue or fluids as components of medicines are well recorded. Examples of this include human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection of haemophiliacs by contaminated and inadequately treated factor VIII products made from pooled human blood, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) from injections of human growth hormone derived from human pituitary glands, some of which were infected.

Growth hormone deficiency in children can be treated by administration of recombinant GH or, in some cases, growth hormone-releasing hormone. Potential targets for recombinant GH that are undergoing clinical investigation include children with idiopathic short stature, persons with wasting syndrome associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection, critically ill patients, and elderly individuals.
