2. Figure 1
Synchronized mean height velocity curves (left panels) and synchronized mean growth curves (right panels) of boys (upper panels) and girls (lower panels) transplanted before onset of puberty, as compared with normal children. Abbreviations are: RTx, renal transplantation; MHV, minimal prespurt height velocity; PHV, peak height velocity; EHV, end-point height velocity.

Difference between actual adult height and predicted adult height at the time of RTx and start of pubertal growth spurt in boys (closed circles) and girls (open circles) transplanted before puberty (left) and after onset of puberty (right). Values are mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 vs. actual adult height.
