Abstract | Background: Early steroid withdrawal (ESW) improves growth following kidney transplant (KT). It is not known whether these children achieve target height within mid-parental height range post-KT. Methods: Retrospective analysis of growth patterns of KT recipients following ESW in our center between 2009 and 2020 had minimum follow-up period of 12 months. Results: Forty-eight (female 29.2%) KT recipients, median age 5.3 years at first KT, were included. At KT, 29 (60.4%) recipients had normal height (SDS≥-1.88) and in 23 (47.9%), the height was within their target height (parental-adjusted height SDS within ±1.55). The proportion of children achieving normal height at 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-years post-KT (median 5.5 years) were 75%, 83.3%, 86.5%, and 88% respectively. The proportion of children achieving target height measured at the same intervals was 68.8%, 73.8%, 73%, and 80%, respectively. Children <6 years were most growth impaired at KT but were most likely to achieve target height within first-year post-KT (72%; p = .023). All 19 children with short stature at KT received dialysis. Three children received growth hormone post-KT. Children who did not achieve target height post-KT (n = 14), five had eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m Conclusions: Although vast majority of children achieved normal height post-KT following ESW during the first 5 years post-KT, 20% of these children had not achieved their target height post-KT. |
