アブストラクト | Evaluation of growth hormone (GH) deficiency often involves use of agents that stimulate GH secretion, such as clonidine, glucagon, insulin, levo-dopa or arginine hydrochloride. We present three pediatric cases of benign, macroscopic hematuria in children without pre-existing renal disease following GH stimulation testing with clonidine and arginine hydrochloride. In all cases hematuria resolved spontaneously within 3-4 days without any intervention. This suggests that careful observation in such cases is sufficient and additional costly evaluation may be avoided. Other than six anecdotal cases registered via on-line adverse event reporting system (AERS), this is the first published report to date of painless, macroscopic, self-limiting hematuria after arginine hydrochloride infusion. |
