Popis: Background: Growth hormone treatment increases glomerular filtration rate (GFR), as serum IGF-I stimulates the renin-angiotensin system. Infants born with a low birth weight have a smaller number of nephrons, which cause a lower GFR, a higher blood pressure and a higher albumin-to-creatinine ratio in early adulthood. Method: A total of 261 young adults born SGA, previously treated with growth hormone (SGA-GH), were longitudinally followed. Glomerular filtration rate, based on serum creatinine levels, was determined at cessation of GH treatment and at 6 months, 2 years and 5 years thereafter. Glomerular filtration rate, blood pressure and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio at 5 years after cessation of GH were compared with untreated age-matched controls (56 untreated short subjects born SGA [SGA-S], 118 subjects born SGA with spontaneous catch-up growth [SGA-CU], 135 subjects born appropriate for gestational age [AGA]). Results: Glomerular filtration rate decreased significantly only during the first 6 months after cessation of GH treatment, while remaining well within the normal range (124.6 vs 120.2 mL/min/1.73 m2, P
