How Does Kidney Disease Impact Child Growth?

today I'd like to talk to you about how kidney diseases may affect the growth and development in children kidney diseases are largely because of either a urinary tract infection or due to some congenital anomalies the children are born with now in such conditions what happens is if the kidney is unable to do its function well it affects a myriad of other functions in the body which includes the adequate growth and therefore the development of the child because kidney being a silent organ controls a lot about the various elements in the body like calcium phosphorus C electrolytes and maintaining the acid base balance in the body all of which have a very big role to play in the adequate growth if any of these functions are altered because of the failing kidney wherein the function is not adequate then it will reflect as a child being short in stature as compared to the actual potential or also having children who are lesser in weight than what is expected for their height and age
