摘要: An 11-year-old girl, who was a renal transplant recipient, developed linear growth failure associated in time with sirolimus (SRL) treatment. After 5 years of functional graft [creatinine clearance (CCr) 90 ml/min per 1.73 m2 body surface area], she acute due to calcineurin inhibitor-related hemolytic uremic syndrome, and cyclosporine A replaced by SRL. Before the drug change, had been growing normally (5.5 cm/year) reached 33.9 percentile (P) height (z-height −0.41), similar her target. Two later, decreased P 6th −1.54), as velocity diminished 2.2 cm/year, despite optimal function (CCr 68 m2). Human recombinant hormone needed promote catch-up achieve 49th −0.03). SRL may have deleterious effects on children its characteristic anti-proliferative anti-angiogenic properties. Pediatric recipients’ should be cautiously monitored while they are being given
