Final height of adults with childhood-onset steroid-responsive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome
Pediatric Nephrology, 10/12/09

Donatti TL et al. – The aim of this study was to evaluate the final stature of adults with childhood–onset steroid–responsive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) and the influence of disease–related issues on the achievement of their target heights. Six patients achieved a final HtZ below -2, which in male patients correlated strongly to the initial HtZ and THZ. A strong correlation was demonstrated between final HtZ, initial HtZ, and THZ. INS–related issues did not prevent the final stature to reach the predicted target height.
