The effect of growth hormone (GH) on subclinical disease activity in a 15-year-old boy with previously quiescent lupus nephritis and chronic renal failure is described. Institution of supraphysiological doses of GH resulted in a rise in erythrocyte sedimentation rate, decrease in serum complement, rise in anti-DNA antibody titers, and increase in T-cell activation markers, all of which improved following cessation of GH treatment.
