- BACKGROUND Children born small for gestational age (SGA), particularly when associated with an extremely low birthweight (ELBW), have a higher risk of renal dysfunction. Growth hormone (GH) treatment is used to treat short-statured children born SGA; however, its effects on renal function remain elusive, especially in those born SGA with ELBW. METHODS Short-statured children born SGA (N = 42) were included. Subjects were subdivided into two groups based on their birthweight: the ELBW group (N = 15) with a birthweight of
