Hello my girl is 120 cm and her weight is 20kg her age is 8 and half is it normal?
Jan 26, 2015

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Are you certain about these numbers? |If so, then your daughter has obvious failure to thrive (FTT), as her weight is on the 5th percentile and her height is on the 10th percentile for age and gender, both severely low. What were her previous measures? Were they always this low? Has she been tested for possible causes of FTT: has she has recurrent severe illnesses requiring hospitalization? Hypothyroidism (poor thyroid gland function)? Growth hormone deficiency? Other serious diseases like cystic fibrosis or metabolic disorders?
