Growth failure in children with chronic renal failure (CRF) is a major concern. Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) effectively improves growth velocity and helps achieve target adult height in these patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Endocrinology
  • Growth Disorders

Context:

  • Chronic renal failure (CRF) significantly impacts child growth.
  • Factors include malnutrition, metabolic acidosis, renal osteodystrophy, anemia, and hormonal disturbances.
  • Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) resistance is observed in CRF.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the efficacy of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in improving growth in children with CRF.
  • To discuss current studies and provide guidelines for rhGH treatment in renal diseases.

Summary:

  • CRF leads to growth failure due to various factors, including GH and IGF-I resistance.
  • rhGH treatment overcomes this insensitivity, increasing growth velocity in children with CRF.

  • Treatment is effective with or without dialysis and after transplantation, particularly in prepubertal children.

    • Impact:

    • rhGH therapy offers a viable solution for growth impairment in pediatric CRF.
    • Long-term rhGH treatment can help children with CRF achieve their target adult height.
    • This approach has shown significant benefits with minimal side effects.
