    Statistical analysis of statural grwoth following kidney transplantation (1986)

    Notes: Abstract Factors affecting the growth rates of 59 children and adolescents for the first 2 years following kidney transplantation were evaluated. The factors assessed were age at transplantation, renal function, prednisone dosage, donor source, and prior history of transplantation. The observed growth velocity was expressed as the percentage, of the growth velocity predicted by bone age. Normal growth (≥80%) was exhibited by 37% of the patients and 22% had accelerated growth (≥100%). The chronologic age at transplantation did not correlate significantly with growth when bone age was used as the reference for expected velocity. Males grew better than did females. There was a unique sex/race interaction with black males growing most rapidly. Better renal function, the ability to lower prednisone dosage, alternate day prednisone administration, and a decreasing diastolic blood pressure were positively correlated with better growth rates after transplantation. The donor source and prior history of transplantation did not significantly influence grwoth rate.

    Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in a program for children with end stage renal disease (1984)

    Notes: Abstract Eighteen infants, children, and adolescents were trained in the techniques of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) as a therapy for end stage renal disease (ESRD) at the University of Florida. Fourteen patients successfully continued CAPD 4–24 months, for a total of 193 patient-months. Uremic symptoms were well controlled with blood urea nitrogen concentration (BUN) decreased to between 60 and 80mg/dl. Parathyroid hormone levels increased but roentgenographic evidence of osteodystrophy improved in most patients. The rate of peritonitis was one episode in 7.7 patient-months. Blood transfusion requirements decreased for patients transferred from in-center hemodialysis to CAPD with no significant decrease in average hematocrits. Caloric intake was adequate and anorexia was usually not a major problem. Children who were evaluated for growth were under 15 years of age, with bone ages less than 12 years, and were using CAPD for longer than 6 months. Their mean growth velocity was 74.7±20.4% (SD) of the predicted velocity.

    Pulsed methylprednisolone therapy compared to high dose prednisone in systemic lupus erythematosus nephritis (1986)

    Notes: Abstract This study was done to determine whether intravenous methylprednisolone therapy given concomitantly with low-dose daily, oral prednisone would be as effective as highdose daily prednisone in the treatment of patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) nephritis. Thirteen patients with active SLE nephritis were started on 2 mg/kg prednisone per day, considered the high prednisone phase. Therapy was continued until remission was achieved. Prednisone administration was then tapered to less than 0.5 but more than 0.2 mg/kg per day. On later relapse, these patients received three doses of methylprednisolone (20 mg/kg per dose) on alternate days and continued on the same daily dose of prednisone (〈0.5 〉0.2 mg/kg per day) prior to pulse therapy; this was the methylprednisolone phase. The 13 patients were studied in both phases, serving as their own controls. After 1 month of therapy, no significant differences were observed between treatment phases as to improvement in clinical and laboratory findings. A significant increase in the serum concentration of C3 and C4 was seen both in the highdose prednisone and methylprednisolone phases, while the serum concentration of anti-ds DNA antibody significantly decreased. Methylprednisolone therapy seems as effective as highdose prednisone in patients with relapse of SLE nephritis. Because side effects are minimal, methylprednisolone administration may be tried as the therapy of choice for these patients.

    Hyperparathyroidism and Anemia in Chronic Renal Failure (1982)

    Notes: Abstract The clinical course of an adolescent on chronic hemodialysis with severe hyperparathyroidism, osteodystrophy and profound anemia is described. After 1,25,dihydroxycholecalciferol was instituted for therapy, bone disease improved as evidenced by radiographic findings. Transfusion requirements diminished and bone marrow fibrosis on serial biopsies decreased significantly. These therapeutic results link hyperparathyroidism with the pathogenesis of anemia in chronic renal failure.
