Efficacy and safety of recombinant human growth hormone therapy in pediatric intestinal transplant recipients

Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is widely used to treat growth retardation in children. We aimed to examine the effect of rhGH therapy on growth and its impact on allograft function in children with growth retardation after intestinal transplant (IT).
