Objective: We tested the impact of commencement of GH replacement therapy in GH-deficient (GHD) adults on the circulating levels of other anterior pituitary and peripheral hormones and the need for re-evaluation of other hormone replacement therapies, especially the need for dose changes. Methods: 22 GHD patients were investigated in a double-blind randomized study and 90 GHD patients in an open study at baseline and after 6 and 12 months of GH replacement therapy. Results: In the placebo-controlled trial, the FT<sub>3</sub> levels increased after 6 months in the GH-treated group, and in the open study the FT<sub>3</sub> levels tended to increase. Other hormone concentrations did not change in either part of the study. Four patients required an increase in thyroxine dose, while 2 patients needed dose reduction. One originally euthyroid patient required thyroxine replacement. Two patients with originally conserved pituitary-adrenal function developed ACTH insufficiency. The hydrocortisone dose was increased in 1 and decreased in 1 of the 66 patients with secondary hypocortisolism. None of the females required any adjustment of sex hormone replacement therapy. Two of 37 males needed dose increase of testosterone, while 1 needed dose reduction. Conclusion: GH replacement therapy required dose adjustments regarding other hormone replacement therapies in 12.2% (n = 11), while initiation of new hormone replacement was performed in 3.3% (n = 3) of the 90 patients during the 1-year follow-up. Monitoring of pituitary hormone axes is advisable after commencement of GH replacement therapy, since changes of hormone replacement therapy was observed in a small but clinically significant number of patients.
