Children with chronic kidney disease are at high risk for growth retardation and decreased adult height.
Growth hormone (GH) treatment is known to stimulate growth in children with short stature suffering from chronic kidney disease.
However, the extent to which this therapy affects final adult height is not known.
This study was performed on 15 patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on regular hemodialysis to detect the effect of using recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on growth of patients with ESRD on regular hemodialysis and comparing this effect with the growth velocity in the same group without using rhGH in the year before therapy.
There were eight females and seven males with mean age 10.6 ± 2.8 (range 5–14 years).
For each patient, recombinant GH was given for one year, three-times weekly.
The data of these 15 patients was compared with the year before treatment versus data of the same group of patients after six months and after one year of rhGH therapy.
Our results showed that, in the year before therapy, height of these patients increased from a mean of 112.1 ± 11.6 cm to 112.7 ± 11.5 cm, which is a non-significant increase statistically (P > 0.05) as well as clinically (mean growth velocity 0.6 cm / year), while height of these patients increased from a mean of 112.7 ± 11.5 cm at the start of therapy to 116.8 ± 11 cm after therapy for one year, which, although statically not significant (P < 0.05), was of clinical significance as it makes rate of increase, i.e.
the mean growth velocity, 4.1 cm / year close to the normal growth velocity, which is 5 cm/year, before puberty.
RhGH therapy for patients with ESRD on regular hemodialysis is helpful in height gain and catch-up growth even when given three-times per week instead of five- or six-times per week.
We recommend giving rhGH therapy as a routine supplementation to pediatric patients before epiphyseal closure.
