Long-term safety of recombinant human growth hormone in children.
BACKGROUND Between 1985 and 2006, the National Cooperative Growth Study (NCGS) monitored the safety and efficacy of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in 54,996 children. METHODS Enrolled patients were followed until rhGH discontinuation. Investigators submitted adverse event reports for targeted events or those potentially rhGH-related. RESULTS Early concerns about de novo leukemia in...
متن کاملIntracranial hypertension in pediatric patients treated with recombinant human growth hormone: data from 25 years of the Genentech National Cooperative Growth Study.
Intracranial hypertension (IH) is a rare condition in children. However, a relationship between recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy and IH has been well documented. Risk factors were assessed for 70 rhGH-naive patients enrolled in the National Cooperative Growth Study with reports of IH after treatment initiation. Patients with severe growth hormone deficiency, Turner syndrome, chro...
متن کاملGrowth retardation in children with chronic renal insufficiency.
The somatomedins are a family of growth hormone-dependent insulin-like peptides which have been postulated to mediate the actions of pituitary growth hormone on skeletal tissue. The somatomedin peptides are part of a larger family of growth factors. Somatomedin has been measured by bioassays, by radioreceptor assays, and recently by a radioimmunoassay. Bioassays are influenced by glucocorticoid...
متن کاملImproved growth in young children with severe chronic renal insufficiency who use specified nutritional therapy.
Growth in children with chronic renal failure caused by polyuric, salt-wasting diseases may be hampered if ongoing sodium and water losses are not corrected. Twenty-four children were treated with polyuric chronic renal insufficiency (CRI; creatinine clearance <65 ml/min per 1.73 m(2)) with low-caloric-density, high-volume, sodium-supplemented feedings. Subsequent growth was compared with that ...
متن کاملSomatomedin in growth disorders and chronic renal insufficiency in children.
Somatomedin activity was measured using an embryonic chick cartilage assay in 33 normal and short normal children, 23 children with pituitary growth hormone (GH) deficiency, 14 children with sexual precocity, and 13 children with chronic renal insufficiency. In normal children somatomedin activity correlated well with chronological age: low valles in early childhood rose to higher than adult le...
