The authors report the clinical history of a seventeen years old boy with renal failure treated with chronic haemodialysis since eleven and a half years of age. Growth velocity was 1.5 cm/year. The stature was below 5 SD as compared to the mean for the age. Hormonal measurements showed a complete growth hormone (hGH) deficiency and hyperparathyroidism. Thyroid, adrenal and gonadic secretions were normal, but the responses of TSH and prolactin to TRH were abnormal, showing an hypothalamic disturbance. hGH treatment, with thyroxin substitution, enhanced growth velocity up to 4 cm/year. Respective influences of hGH treatment, puberty and hyperparathyroidism on the incomplete correction of growth velocity are discussed.
