Poor linear growth is a well described complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study evaluated whether abnormal birth history defined by low birth weight (LBW; <2500 g), prematurity (gestational age <36 weeks), small for gestational age (SGA; birth weight <10th percentile for gestational age), or intensive care unit (ICU) at birth were risk factors for poor growth outcomes in children with CKD.
