    Statistical analysis of statural growth following kidney transplantation (1986)
    Springer
    European journal of pediatrics 145 (1986), S. 86-89 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1076

    Topics: Medicine
    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 chronological 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, and a decreasing diastolic blood pressure were positively correlated with better growth rates after transplantation. Donor source and prior history of transplantation did not significantly influence growth rate.

    Growth in children following kidney transplantation (1990)
    Springer
    Pediatric nephrology 4 (1990), S. 335-339 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-198X
    Keywords: Growth ; Kidney transplantation ; Height standard deviation scores ; Cyclosporin A ; Prednisone ; Renal function

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Growth was assessed in children following 128 separate kidney transplants using a generalized growth curve multivariate analysis. The height standard deviation score was the dependent variable. Time since transplant, prednisone dosage, and creatinine clearance were the independent variables. For the purposes of comparison patients were grouped according to sex, race, age at transplantation, initial allograft function, acute rejection episodes and the use of cyclosporin A. Patient's height standard deviation scores tended to increase negatively after transplantation. However, children who received transplants before their 7th birthday, with initial allograft function greater than 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, exhibited “catch-up” growth. Height standard deviation scores positively improved in males but not in females, as prednisone dosage was decreased. Height standard deviation scores became more negative as renal function decreased after transplantation. Changes in renal function produced the greatest effect upon height in black children, children less than 7 years, and males.
