[Growth deficiency and renal tubular acidosis. The possible etiopathogenic mechanisms].
The authors have studied two cases of renal tubular acidosis in 2 children underlining that a possible defective mechanism of growth is based on alteration of the receptors of somatomedine C to level of cartilage. The deficit of receptors could be the consequence of the alterations of the acidosis on cartilage.
