Short Stature in Chronic Kidney Disease Treated with Growth Hormone and an Aromatase Inhibitor

Figure 1

Observed growth curve of subject with prediction of final height. GH: interval of growth hormone therapy with growth velocity of 8.5 cm/year; AI: duration of aromatase inhibitor (anastrozole) therapy with growth velocity of 9.8 cm/year. Annualized growth velocity after AI therapy = 5.4 cm/year. Circle with vertical bars denotes predicted adult height by the method of Greulich and Pyle [10].
