Thirty years previously Lucas2had noted the frequent association of albuminuria with late rickets but had regarded the albuminuria as functional. Renal dwarfism, however, has only been recognized as a definite clinical entity since 1920, when Barber3introduced the name, and defined it as "a condition of stunted development, associated with bone deformities of the 'late' rickets type, due to an insidious chronic interstitial nephritis of obscure etiology." The terms, renal dwarfism, renal...References1. FLETCHER HM: Case of infantilism with polyuria and chronic renal disease, Proc. Roy. Soc. Med. (Sect. Dis. Child.), 1911, iv, 95. Google Scholar2.
