Talla baja

Authors: Jose I Labarta Aizpún;

Talla baja

Abstract

La talla baja es un motivo frecuente de consulta. Las causas son múltiples, pero, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, se trata de variaciones normales del crecimiento y, muy pocas veces, se identifica una etiología responsable. El concepto de hipocrecimiento patológico incluye valorar no solamente la talla, sino también la velocidad de crecimiento, la talla genética y la estimación de la talla adulta. La talla baja idiopática es un concepto amplio y de difícil definición y, en los últimos años, se han identificado anomalías en genes implicados en el desarrollo del cartílago de crecimiento. El proceso diagnóstico debe ser escalonado y tiene por objetivo diferenciar una talla baja variante de la normalidad de una talla baja patológica, identificar la causa e instaurar un tratamiento lo antes posible. Una historia clínica y exploración completa, junto con una juiciosa valoración de la auxología, edad ósea y pruebas complementarias básicas, permiten orientar el diagnóstico sin necesidad de estudios avanzados. El tratamiento con hormona de crecimiento recombinante humana (rhGH) se debe realizar en las condiciones y dosis indicadas e iniciarlo lo antes posible durante la prepubertad. En esta revisión se realiza una actualización del tema, tanto a nivel del diagnóstico diferencial como de las posibilidades de tratamiento.
