Abstract: In this paper, we treat first-order algebraic differential equations whose coefficients are arbitrary complex-valued functions on an interval $[{x_0}, + \infty )$ , and we obtain an estimate on the growth of all real-valued solutions on $[{x_0}, + \infty )$ . Our result includes, as a very special case, the well-known result of Lindelöf for polynomial coefficients.
