Crecimiento normal y talla baja

Authors: Pozo Román, Jesús;

Crecimiento normal y talla baja

Abstract

El crecimiento es el proceso fisiológico más característico de la edad pediátrica. Aunque la talla adulta y la edad a la que esta se alcanza están, en cada sujeto, determinadas genéticamente, el resultado final puede variar dependiendo de la compleja interacción a lo largo de todo el período de crecimiento de factores genéticos y ambientales. La talla baja supone un motivo de preocupación para los padres y es una causa muy frecuente de consulta en Pediatría y en Endocrinología Pediátrica; si bien, en la gran mayoría de los casos, se tratará de variantes normales de talla baja que, salvo una adecuada información, no requerirán tratamiento. El conocimiento de las características normales del crecimiento y de los factores implicados en su regulación en los distintos períodos de la vida es una condición imprescindible para poder valorar la normalidad o anormalidad en el crecimiento de un niño. En esta revisión, se intenta resumir de forma sencilla, los aspectos básicos que, desde el ámbito de la Atención Primaria, permitan al pediatra: 1) valorar si el crecimiento de un niño es normal o no; 2) conocer las causas que con más frecuencia pueden provocar su alteración; 3) saber cómo orientar el diagnóstico y cuándo remitir al especialista (a partir de la historia clínica, de la edad ósea y, en algunos casos, de un reducido número de pruebas complementarias fácilmente disponibles); y 4) conocer las opciones terapéuticas disponibles

Growth is the most characteristic physiological process of the pediatric age. Although adult stature and age at which this is reached are genetically determined in each subject, the final result may vary according to the complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors over the growth period. Short stature causes concern for the parents and is a very frequent cause for consultation in Pediatrics and Pediatric Endocrinology. However, in most of the cases, this is due to normal variants of short stature which, except for adequate information, do not require treatment. Knowledge of the normal characteristics of the growth and of the factors involved in its regulation in the different periods of life is an essential condition to be able to evaluate the normality or abnormality in the growth of a child. In this review, an attempt is made to give a simple summary of the basic features which, from a community setting, allow the pediatrician to: 1) evaluate if the growth of a child is normal or not; 2) know the causes that most often may cause its alteration; 3) know how to orient the diagnosis and when to send the patient to the specialist (based on the clinical history, bone age and, in some cases, on a reduced number of easily available complementary tests); and 4) know the available therapeutic options
