Chronic Kidney Disease in Children

Judith Sebestyen VanSickle et al. Pediatr Clin North Am. 2022 Dec.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children occurs mostly due to congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract and hereditary diseases. For advanced cases, a multidisciplinary team is needed to manage nutritional requirements and complications such as hypertension, hyperphosphatemia, proteinuria, and anemia. Neurocognitive assessment and psychosocial support are essential. Maintenance dialysis in children with end-stage renal failure has become the standard of care in many parts of the world. Children younger than 12 years have 95% survival after 3 years of dialysis initiation, whereas the survival rate for children aged 4 years or younger is about 82% at one year."
