ABSTRACT

O atraso no crescimento é freqüente e grave em crianças com doença renal crônica (DRC). Vários fatores contribuem para o comprometimento do crescimento nestas crianças, incluindo as alterações no eixo hormônio de crescimento (GH) - insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), desnutrição, acidose, doença renal óssea e uso de corticóides. Em crianças com DRC, o tratamento do atraso no crescimento é difícil em virtude da presença de doenças associadas que necessitem de adequado tratamento médico. Apesar de as evidências a respeito da segurança e de a eficácia do GH nesta população, este tratamento ainda é pouco utilizado. Esta revisão mostra o impacto, as causas e o tratamento do atraso no crescimento em crianças com DRC.


Growth failure is frequent and a clinically important issue in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Many factors contribute to impaired growth in these children, including abnormalities in the growth hormone (GH) - insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) axis, malnutrition, acidosis, renal bone disease and glucocorticoid associated treatment. The management of growth failure in children with CKD is complicated by the presence of other-disease related complications requiring medical intervention. Despite evidence of GH efficacy and safety in this population, this therapy is still underutilized. This review shows the impact, the causes and the treatment of growth failure in children with CKD.
