A 10-year-old boy with polydipsia and polyuria​ would likely not be treated with somatropin.

This is because somatropin is often used for growth issues and even short bowel syndrome, but from what I could find, nothing about polydipsia or polyuria​.

A 3-year-old cow on a dairy farm could need somatropin, specifically Bovine Somatotropin (bST) to increase milk production or fix growth issues

A 4-year-old girl with an XO genetic genotype would get somatropin because it is used to treat Turner syndrome (Same as XO genetic genotype)

A 44-year-old boy with chronic renal failure and growth deficiency would get somatropin because it is used to treat growth issues even in adults and chronic renal failure
