摘要

Impaired growth with decrease in bone mineralization are well-recognized complications of corticosteroid excess, hence children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS) who have been on high doses of steroids for prolonged periods often have short stature. Supraphysiological doses of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) have been used successfully to treat the short stature in post-renal transplant children who are on steroid treatment. We studied 8 children with long-standing SDNS and growth retardation, in order to determine the efficacy and safety of 1-year rhGH therapy. rhGH was administered at 24 U/m2/week for 1year. The mean prednisolone dose during rhGH treatment was 0.5 mg/kg/day which was not significantly different from the mean dose of 0.4mg/kg/day 1year prior to treatment. The mean (± SD) chronological age was 12.6 (±3.1) years (range 4-18 years). Several patients had significant delay in pubertal stage, with a mean bone age of 9.1 (±2.0) years. The effects of 1-year GH treatment on anthropometric and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements were then evaluated. Mean height velocity of the nephrotic children increased from 3.7 (±1.4) cm/year to 9.4 (±2.1) cm/year (p<0.05). Mean height standard deviation score increased from -1.4 (±1.6) to -0.3 (±1.1) (p<0.05). In the spine, BMD increased from 0.50 g/cm2 to 0.64g/cm2 (p<0.05). Lean body mass increased from 58.1% to 62.6% (p<0.01). There were no significant changes in creatinine clearance, fasting glucose and insulin, and glycosylated hemoglobin levels. In conclusion, 1-year GH therapy was effective in improving growth and bone mineral density in children with SDNS, in the absence of any significant adverse effects.
