Core Tip	Growth retardation is a notable challenge among pediatric kidney transplant recipients. Key risk factors for delayed final adult height include early age at the time of transplantation, pre-existing short stature result in chronic kidney disease and dialysis, and the use of certain immunosuppressive drugs, particularly steroids. To effectively manage growth retardation, early intervention is crucial, ideally beginning before transplantation. Important strategies include administering recombinant growth hormone both before and after the transplant, optimizing nutrition, and employing protocols designed to minimize steroid use. These approaches offer the best chances for achieving catch-up growth in renal transplant recipients.
