Body growth of children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome

Abstract: Whilst it is assumed that body growth is retarded in children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (NS), the degree of growth failure and the pathomechanisms involved are poorly understood. We collected serial growth data in 45 children (24 males) with steroid-resistant NS usually from onset to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) during childhood (n=10) or until final height was attained (n=27). Mean follow-up time was 9 (2-19) years. Mean initial standardized height was -0.3+/-1.2 standard deviation scores (S… Show more

“…[27][28][29] It is unclear why baseline height SD scores were relatively low in our study population. A similar observation was reported in the work by Schärer et al, 30 whereas others described normal height SD scores at diagnosis of NS. 27 In countries where a 2-month prednisolone regimen is applied for the first episode of NS, children who do not achieve remission within 4 weeks of daily prednisolone are generally characterized as steroid-resistant.…”

“…A perda de desvio-padrão foi de -0,47, com variação de -0,84 a -0,11. Os valores absolutos de (n = 4) 4 com crianças e adolescentes com SNCR, pode-se observar que os valores de proteinemia total e albuminemia do presente estudo (5,31 g % e 2,66 g %, respectivamente) são semelhantes aos dos pacientes do estudo citado (5,35 g % e 2,68 g %, respectivamente). No entanto, o déficit de estatura ao final de longo tempo de acompanhamento do citado estudo é muito menor do que o aqui apresentado.…”

“…No entanto, o déficit de estatura ao final de longo tempo de acompanhamento do citado estudo é muito menor do que o aqui apresentado. 4 No estudo citado, os pacientes fizeram uso de corticoide na dose total mé-dia de 232 mg/kg e, na avaliação de um subgrupo de 16 pacientes que não estavam em uso da corticoterapia, foi possível observar uma correlação significativa entre a perda do escore de estatura com valores diminuídos de proteinemia total e albuminemia. Neste estudo, não foi observada uma correlação significativa entre os parâmetros proteicos e o retardo de crescimento, embora o grupo com manutenção do crescimento apresente valores médios de albuminemia e proteinemia total maiores do que o grupo com déficit de estatura.…”
