Impact of Minimal Steroid Doses on Post‐Transplant Growth in Pediatric Kidney Recipients, a Retrospective Observational Study

This single-center study found that pediatric KTx recipients receiving low-dose steroid therapy showed post-transplant improvements in height and Z-scores. Notably, the use of low-dose steroids did not significantly impair growth, although a slight downward trend in Z scores was noted.

Abstract

This single-center study found that pediatric KTx recipients receiving low-dose steroid therapy showed post-transplant improvements in height and Z-scores. Notably, the use of low-dose steroids did not significantly impair growth, although a slight downward trend in Z scores was noted.
