Can recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) improve the adequacy of dialysis (KT/V)? 1996

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation Children's Unit, Strasbourg, France.

Dialysis adequacy as estimated by urea kinetics could lead to false interpretations, especially if the dialysed patient has a high growth velocity and a stimulated protein anabolic state as is expected during rhGH treatment. Assumptions made from comparison of the UKM parameters such as PCRn, KT/V and TACurea, which all derive from the same urea appearance, are particularly risky. Dialysis adequacy appreciation during rhGH treatment needs, at least, knowledge of urea kinetic and dietary intake, and these should not be calculated from the same parameters.

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.

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D019382 Human Growth Hormone A 191-amino acid polypeptide hormone secreted by the human adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR), also known as GH or somatotropin. Synthetic growth hormone, termed somatropin, has replaced the natural form in therapeutic usage such as treatment of dwarfism in children with growth hormone deficiency.
