Division of Endocrinology, University Hospital Sophia Children s Hospital, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Horm Res 51:270-6. 1999..PSS is helpful in monitoring the suppressive capacity of a GnRH agonist. We recommend to start with leuprolide acetate at 3.75 mg/28 days and to increase the injection frequency or dose in case PSS is >0 after 6 months of treatment...

Early puberty in girlsD Mul
Subdivision of Endocrinology, Sophia Children s Hospital, 3000 CB Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Best Pract Res Clin Endocrinol Metab 16:153-63. 2002..A clinical approach is presented, including both auxological and psychological items. Further research is needed to answer the question of whether early puberty should be treated with GnRHa...

Erasmus University Medical Centre Sophia Children s Hospital, Subdivision Endocrinology, 3000 CB Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 55:121-9. 2001..Early onset of puberty is frequently observed in adopted children. During treatment with a gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa), a decrease in height velocity (HV) precludes height gain...
