Summary
Children with chronic kidney failure often do not grow well. This study examines the possible
causes of growth failure in these children and the response to recombinant human growth
hormone. The growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor axis will be studied in relation to
biochemical and immunological parameters as well as body compositional changes pre- and post
recombinant human growth hormone therapy.
