Effect of Cytokines on Growth of Children With Chronic Kidney Failure
Non-randomizedSingle-groupOpen-labelDiagnostic
Summary
Children with chronic kidney failure often do not grow well. This study examines the possible causes of growth failure in these children and the response to recombinant human growth hormone. The growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor axis will be studied in relation to biochemical and immunological parameters as well as body compositional changes pre- and post recombinant human growth hormone therapy.
