Statural growth was studied in 20 prepubertal children with chronic renal failure on conservative treatment followed-up 1.1 to 8.9 years (average 3.9). Five children reached end-stage renal failure during the follow-up period and underwent dialysis or transplantation. Most patients grew at a normal rate. During the observation period only 1 out of 20 children lost more than 0.5 height standard deviation score whereas 9 gained 0.5 to 3.1. A growth velocity above the 97th percentile for at least 1 year was observed in 6 patients. A normal growth rate and even catch-up growth is possible in children with chronic renal failure regardless of the degree of reduction of glomerular function.
