• Failure to Thrive

  In this report we present three babies in whom failure to thrive, dehydration and a renal concentrating defect presented soon after birth; they were subsequently investigated for renal failure during the first year of life. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The first signs appear after the age of 2 with a urine concentration defect responsible for polyuria and polydipsia, failure to thrive and a progressive deterioration of renal function without signs of glomerular disease. [orpha.net]

  Additional symptoms such as growth retardation, failure to thrive or persisting enuresis can indicate NPH but are not mandatory findings. There are no characteristic abnormalities in urine analysis. [neocyst.de]

  Common findings include a failure to thrive and weakness. Anorexia, nausea, pruritus, bone pain, and neurologic symptoms herald ESRD. Because of salt wasting, hypertension is rare, except in the infantile form of nephronophthisis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Polyuria

  Clinical findings Chronic renal failure, anaemia, polyuria, polydipsia, isosthenuria and growth retardation. nephronophthisis wasting disease of the kidney substance. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  Therapy with potassium chloride resulted in reduction of polyuria, increased rate of growth, and arrest of progression of renal insufficiency. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

  A 9.5-year-old girl, whose early symptoms were polyuria and growth retardation, is described. During the progression of her disease, hyperkalaemia developed out of proportion to the degree of renal insufficiency. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion and, although rare, is the most common genetic cause of childhood kidney failure. It is a form of ciliopathy. [en.wikipedia.org]

  The chronic kidney failure affects growth and leads to short stature. The age at death ranges from around 4 to 15 years. The disease is also called nephronophthisis 1 (NPH1) and autosomal recessive medullary cystic kidney disease. [medicinenet.com]
