HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Any chronic illness especially if it is severe or not controlled, can have a potential effect on growth.
Rickets because it is related to the bones, would especially affect growth.

Rickets is due to a lack of vitamin d and therefore calcium, it is treated by providing replacement in relatively high doses.
Rickets itself is not normally associated with kidney complications

I hope this helps
