We aimed to study the growth and growth factors of children with liver disease before and after liver transplantation (LT). Three observation intervals: 1) before LT (preLT), 2) after LT on daily prednisone treatment (dP), and 3) on alternate day prednisone (adP). A longitudinal study (LS) involved 17 infants (9 male) aged 0.73-2.38 y at LT; mean (+/- SD) height (Ht) SD score (SDS) at LT was -2.02 (+/- 1.25). In a cross-sectional study, there were 123 children (73 male) aged 0.16-14.88 y (mean 3.72 y). IGF-I and IGF binding proteins (BP) 1 and 3 were measured at the same intervals. The results were, for LS, preLT height velocity (HV) SDS (X +/- SD -0.8+/-1.4) lower (p < 0.01) than adP-HV SDS (3.1+/-1.8) but not different from dP-HV SDS (-1....
