Normality is arbitrarily defined, if defined at all |
Reproducibility in both normal and abnormal children is poor, even when the same test is performed |

Nutritional adequacy and body composition (particularly, adiposity) can affect response |
There is no standard serum growth hormone assay, and there are large interassay variations among the assays in use |
All of the tests are costly |
