21. What factors suggest FTT?
|
a. The pt’s growth pattern (inadequate weight gain, potentially modest length retardation, and head circumference sparing)
|
|
22. When is a nonorganic diagnosis of FTT made?
|
a. After organic aetiologies are excluded, and, after adequate nutrition and an adequate environmental is assured, growth resumes normally after catch-up growth is demonstrated.
|
|
23. When are Diagnostic and therapeutic maneuvers aimed at organic causes are appropriate?
|
a. When supported by the history (prematurity, maternal infection)
b. or c. examination (enlarged spleen, significant developmental delay. |
|
24. Likely diagnosis of FTT in pts who fail to gain weight but maintain length and head circumference?
|
a. Poor caloric intake.
b. As nutrition remains poor, length becomes affected next and then ultimately head circumference. |
|
25. How common is psychosocial failure to thrive (nonorganic) and what is it associated with?
|
a. More than organic FTT.
b. It is often associated w/poverty or poor parent-child interaction. |
|
26. Comorbidity prevalence w/nonorganic FTT?
|
a. Up to 1/3 w/psychosocial FTT have developmental delay as well as social and emotional problems.
|
|
27. Common Renal cause of FTT?
|
a. Renal tubular acidosis.
|
|
28. Causes of renal tubular acidosis leading to FTT?
|
a. Proximal tubular defects (type 2)
b. Distal tubule defects (type 1). |
|
29. Cause of proximal renal tubular acidosis (type 2)?
|
a. Impaired tubular bicarbonate reabsorption.
|
|
30. Cause of distal renal tubular acidosis (type 1)?
|
a. Impaired hydrogen ion secretion.
|
|
31. Type 4 renal tubular acidosis?
|
a. A distal tubule problem associated w/impaired ammoniagenesis.
