Abstract

Short stature has a significant impact by imposing physical limitation, and affecting phychosocial adjustment. Growth retardation is one of the hindrances to rehabilitation of children with chronic nephropathies (CN). The pattern of growth of any child with CN is influenced by the age of onset of the disorder. Children with congenital renal disease have developmental problems early in their life. This is because normal infants achieve approximately 50% of their growth potential by 2 years of age and nephropathies during this period has an important, retarding effect on the child’s final height. In the primary growth hormone dependant phase, a growth pattern almost parallel to the normal is observed between the 3rd and 10th year in these children. Growth retardation in congenital chloride diarrhoea is a good example of the effects of electrolyte deficiency on growth.
