The History of Cystinosis: Lessons for Clinical Management

Figure 2

Growth curve for a cystinotic child. (1) Growth velocity fall off at 4–6 months of age improves with salt supplements and increased fluid volume delivered by a nasogastric tube. (2) Slowing of growth velocity at 17–19 months of age is improved by introduction of indomethacin to reduce electrolyte losses by 25–30%.
