Background and objective: Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have impaired growth that leads to short stature in adulthood and treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is associated with improved growth. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daily rhGH (Jintropin®) in children in China with growth failure caused by CKD prior to transplantation.Methods: Prepubertal patients (2–13 years old) with CKD-relate...
