Sažetak

Failure to thrive (FTT) is seen in children all over the world, and it is a common but challenging problem encountered by primary care doctors and pediatricians. Junior doctors should be aware of the potential causes of faltering growth as the possibilities are vast. Causes may consist of one or a combination of mechanisms, depriving the child of necessary nutrients and energy. With the use of serial anthropometric measurements and standardized growth charts, a child’s development is ideally tracked over time. Defining FTT may not be an easy task. A clinician should be well-trained in the recognition of signs and symptoms of a variety of diseases. A thorough patient history and physical examination must be conducted as they are the foundation for the complete evaluation of the child. A differential diagnosis should be established and with the support of laboratory findings, further investigations should be performed. Familiarity with appropriate diagnostic procedures is vital for definite diagnosis and prompt treatment of the child’s FTT.
