The growth potential of 27 boys with varying degrees of chronic renal insufficiency has been determined from their present height centile for both bone age and chronological age. With increasing age their growth potential diminishes. The delay in bone age is greatest in those children whose disease dates from infancy, but does not correlate with their present state of renal function. Bone age continues to advance in the presence of severe osteodystrophy and growth arrest. Knowledge of the growth potential of children with chronic renal failure is of relevance in interpreting the height increments observed following renal transplantation. Serial determination of bone age is therefore an important aspect of their clinical management.
通过27名不同程度慢性肾功能不全男孩目前的身高百分位数，根据骨龄和实际年龄确定了他们的生长潜力。随着年龄增长，他们的生长潜力会降低。骨龄延迟在那些疾病始于婴儿期的儿童中最为明显，但与他们目前的肾功能状态无关。在严重骨营养不良和生长停滞的情况下，骨龄仍会继续增长。了解慢性肾衰竭儿童的生长潜力对于解释肾移植后观察到的身高增长具有重要意义。因此，连续测定骨龄是他们临床管理的一个重要方面。
