The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is considered the most useful method for diagnosing active acromegaly and for patient follow-up after neurosurgery. Despite its widespread use, only a few small studies have so far focused on patients' clinical features associated with different GH responsiveness to OGTT.

Paradoxical GH increase during OGTT is associated to first-generation somatostatin analogs responsiveness in acromegaly

Abstract

The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is considered the most useful method for diagnosing active acromegaly and for patient follow-up after neurosurgery.
