Children born with growth retardation (GR) have a smaller nephron number and are at increased risk for the development of renal disease and hypertension in adult life. Data on the immediate post-natal development of renal function in neonates born with GR are limited and data on the effects of aminoglycosides (AGs) on renal function in these infants are lacking.
