Abstract
The Growth Failure in Children With Renal Diseases Study was organized to evaluate linear growth in children with chronic; moderate renal failure who are being treated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 or di.hydrotachysterol in a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial. This study was also prompted in 1980 by the need to compare the results (efficacy and safety) of long-term 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 therapy with those in a control group of children with chronic moderate renal failure, with particular attention given to the rate of progression of renal failure, to confirm or refute reports that this therapy may accelerate deterioration of renal function.
