Question

excessive secretion of growth hormone in adults can cause
multiple choice
acromegaly.
pituitary gigantism.
graves disease.

Explanation:

• Acromegaly is caused by excessive growth hormone (GH) secretion in adults, affecting bones and soft tissues (e.g., hands, feet, face).
• Pituitary gigantism occurs in children (before growth plates close) due to excess GH.
• Graves disease is an autoimmune thyroid disorder (not related to GH).

So the correct option is the one related to adult GH excess.

Answer:

A. acromegaly
