Pediatric renal failure patients undergo similar rates of growth retardation on all forms of dialysis, but appears to be worst in the patients not dialyzed before transplant and on TF. These patients had an average age of 27 months before transplant. Table 1 shows that all groups undergo progressive decline in growth as the interval from diagnosis to transplant increases. This is not affected by the number of calories supplied. Pretransplant TF seems to improve catch up growth after transplant, but we saw no definite effect on growth in the pretransplant period. Renal transplantation uniformly improves growth in this population.
小儿肾衰竭患者在所有形式的透析中生长发育迟缓的发生率相似，但在移植前未接受透析和接受持续性非卧床腹膜透析（CAPD）的患者中似乎最为严重。这些患者移植前的平均年龄为27个月。表1显示，随着从诊断到移植的时间间隔增加，所有组的生长均呈进行性下降。这不受热量供应数量的影响。移植前的CAPD似乎能改善移植后的追赶生长，但我们未观察到其对移植前期生长有明确影响。肾移植能一致地改善该人群的生长情况。
