Pharmacokinetics of Somatropin in Patients With End Stage Renal Disease Receiving Chronic Haemodialysis
An Open, Non-randomized, Single-centre, Parallel Group Trial Investigating the Steady-state Blood Concentration Profile and Effects of Once Daily Subcutaneously Injected Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (Norditropin® SimpleXx®) in Patients With End Stage Renal Disease Receiving Chronic Haemodialysis and in Matched Healthy Subjects

Brief Summary
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to to compare steady-state total growth hormone (GH) exposure in haemodialysis (HD) patients with that of matched healthy subjects.
