The adolescent with end-stage renal disease. 1985

R N Fine

The adolescent with ESRD is frequently immature in relationship to chronological age. Growth and pubertal development are major concerns for the adolescent with ESRD. If renal failure had its onset prior to adolescence, it is likely that puberty will be delayed and ultimate adult height retarded for the patient requiring ESRD care during the adolescent period. Non-compliance with the therapeutic regimen is a major clinical problem encountered in the management of the adolescent. Significant morbidity can result from non-compliance with the dialysis regimen and non-compliance is a major cause of allograft loss in the adolescent transplant recipient. The special needs of the adolescent must be considered if ESRD care is to be successful.
