Growth disparity in monozygotic twins discordant for chronic renal disease.

Growth data in seven pairs of monozygotic twins only one twin affected by renal disease are given. The data suggest that renal disease not only retards normal growth and sexual maturation but also affects growth potential. Therefore evaluation of the effect of renal disease and its treatment on growth should include estimation of the genetic potential for growth.

[Physiopathological study in 2 cases of Bartter's syndrome].

Batter's syndrome is characterized by retardation in growth pitressin-resistant hypostenuria, hypokalemic alkalosis, high activity of the jux angiotensin-renine-aldosterone system with normal blood pressure; vascular insensibility to angiotensin and hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the juxtaglomerular apparatus. In both patients we studied, we found negative balance of sodium and potassium conditioned to a renal loss of them.
