what is the growth failure syndrome in kids?

Answer 1

Growth failure is a symptom, not a syndrome. But, many syndromes have growth failure as one of their manifestations. Growth failure can also be caused by disorders of the pituitary or thyroid glands, congenital heart disease, certain kidney or liver diseases, or a host of other diseases. A child with growth failure needs a very careful examination and thorough evaluation. It can be a difficult nut to crack.
