Spontaneous Growth and Effect of Early Therapy with Calcitriol and Phosphate in X-linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets.

In conclusion, untreated children with XLR are characterized by normal length at birth, diminished growth rate compared to reference children until 4.3 years and spontaneous catch-up growth of 1.3 HSDS until start of puberty. Improved growth rate in XLR children occured by combined phosphate and calcitriol treatment before 18 months. PMID: 29292875 [PubMed - in process]
