The growth of children undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) was compared with the growth of children undergoing hemodialysis and that of children after successful kidney transplantation. The bone ages of the children were used to predict expected growth velocities. The actual growth velocities observed were then expressed as percentages of the predicted rates. Children receiving CAPD therapy grew better than those treated by hemodialysis and as well as the children who received a kidney transplant. There was some correlation between growth and allograft function in the transplant recipients. Children receiving CAPD were less acidotic and were more likely to exhibit improvement in renal osteodystrophy than children treated by ongoing hemodialysis. There were no significant differences in reported caloric intake between the two groups.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D001806 Blood Urea Nitrogen The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.
