lüll Successful treatment of dwarfism secondary to long-term steroid therapy in steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome Sun L; Chen D; Zhao X; Xu C; Mei CIntern Med 2010[]; 49 (14): 1417-21Prolonged steroid therapy is generally used for steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome in pediatric patients. However, dwarfism secondary to a long-term regimen and its successful reverse is rarely reported. The underlying mechanism of dwarfism is still poorly understood, as both long-term steroid use and nephrotic syndrome may interact or independently interfere with the process of growth. Here, we present a 17-year-old patient with dwarfism and steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome and the successful treatment by recombinant human growth factor and cyclosporine A with withdrawal of steroid. We also briefly review the current understanding and the management of dwarfism in pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome.|Adolescent[MESH]|Cyclosporine/administration & dosage[MESH]|Dwarfism/chemically induced/*diagnosis/*drug therapy[MESH]|Follow-Up Studies[MESH]|Human Growth Hormone/*administration & dosage/adverse effects[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Nephrotic Syndrome/complications/*diagnosis/*drug therapy[MESH]|Prednisone/*administration & dosage/adverse effects[MESH]|Time Factors[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
