  • Title: Effect of growth hormone treatment on pubertal growth in a boy with cystinosis and growth failure after renal transplantation.
    Author: Haffner D, Wühl E, Nissel R, Schaefer F, Mehls O.
    Journal: Br J Clin Pract Suppl; 1996 Aug; 85():7-9. PubMed ID: 8995018.
    Abstract:
    Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) has proven effective in improving growth in short prepubertal children with chronic renal failure (CRF) before and after renal transplantation. However, its effect in pubertal patients is still doubtful. We report the case of a boy with nephropathic cystinosis and persistent growth failure despite successful renal transplantation who was treated with rhGH (30 i.u./m2 body surface area/week sc) from early puberty up to final height.
