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
