Abstract

Three girls with normal growth hormone secretion had received renal transplantation when aged 2 to 6 years. They had had severely retarded growth (SD for height score was -7.4 to -3.7) at the time of transplantation. After renal transplantation, steroid was withdrawn and they were treated with recombinant human growth hormone; they subsequently reached adult heights of 145 to 156 cm. The SD for adult height score was -2.6 to -0.3. The adult height in two patients was over their target height, calculated using the mean of the parents' height. This report shows the efficacy of steroid withdrawal and recombinant human growth hormone therapy in achieving adult height in these three girls after renal transplantation.
