Evaluation of growth in children and adolescents after renal transplantation

Despite the advances in the last decades, it is well-known that optimalgrowth is usually not achieved in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD)even after successful renal transplantation (RTx). In this study, our aim wasto evaluate growth patterns and factors affecting growth in pediatric andadolescent renal transplant recipients (RTR). Thirty-seven prevalent RTR withmean age of 17.0±2.9 years and mean post-RTx duration of 4.2±2.0 yearswere evaluated. Growth parameters, height velocities and factors affectinggrowth at the time of RTx (baseline) and in the post-RTx follow-up werealso retrospectively assessed. Cumulative corticosteroid (CS) doses werecalculated. Mean height and weight standard deviation score (SDS) valueswere negative (-1.4±1.1 and -1.2±1.5, respectively), whereas height SDSwas positive in 16% of the patients. Mean weight, height, and BMI (bodymass index) SDS of the RTR were significantly higher than the values attransplantation (p
