Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment of infants and young children with chronic renal failure. 1996

H Maxwell
Royal Free Hospital, London.

Infants with chronic renal failure often grow badly despite medical management. rhGH treatment results in good catch-up growth and should be used in infants who do not respond to conservative management.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
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.
