ABSTRACT
Growth hormone (GH) has become a critical therapy for treating growth delay and failure in pediatric chronic kidney disease. Recombinant human GH treatment is safe and significantly improves height and height velocity in these growing patients and improved growth outcomes are associated with decreased morbidity and mortality as well as improved quality of life. However, the utility of recombinant human GH in adults with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease for optimization of body habitus and reducing frailty remains uncertain.
