Polyuria-polydipsia syndrome is a frequent symptom in pediatrics, primarily attributed to diabetes mellitus. In the context of diabetes insipidus, this syndrome can stem from central or nephrogenic factors. Sjögren's syndrome, an uncommon autoimmune disease in children, can affect multiple organs. Kidney involvement as described in adults is usually related to glomerular or tubular impairment, often linked to distal tubular acidosis. As a kidney involvement during childhood, Sjögren's syndrome has rarely been reported...

BACKGROUND: Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by SHANK3 pathogenic variants or chromosomal rearrangements affecting the chromosome 22q13 region. Previous research found that kidney disorders, primarily congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract, are common in people with PMS, yet research into candidate genes has been hampered by small study sizes and lack of attention to these problems. METHODS: We used a cohort of 357 people from the Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Foundation International Registry to investigate the prevalence of kidney disorders in PMS using a cross-sectional design and to identify 22q13 genes contributing to these disorders...

BACKGROUND: Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) describes a set of symptoms and signs resulting from compression of the left renal vein (LRV). There is a lack of knowledge about its natural course, diagnosis, and management, especially in children. Herein, we present our single-center experience with a large number of patients who have long-term follow-up results. METHODS: All patients with NCS diagnosed between January 2011 and March 2021 were included and their data were obtained retrospectively...

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a recognized comorbidity in pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), although the exact etiology is unclear. The unique physiology of DKA makes dehydration assessments challenging, and these patients potentially receive excessive amounts of intravenous fluids (IVF). We hypothesized that dehydration is over-estimated in pediatric DKA, leading to over-administration of IVF and hyperchloremia that worsens AKI. METHODS: Retrospective cohort of all DKA inpatients at a tertiary pediatric hospital from 2014 to 2019...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Historically, the complement system (classical, lectin, alternative, and terminal pathways) is known to play a crucial role in the etiopathogenesis of many kidney diseases. Direct or indirect activation in these settings is revealed by consumption of complement proteins at the serum level and kidney tissue deposition seen by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. The advent of eculizumab has shown that complement inhibitors may improve the natural history of certain kidney diseases. Since then, the number of available therapeutic molecules and experimental studies on complement inhibition has increased exponentially...

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a complex disease which describes different kinds of kidney defects, not exclusively linked with podocyte defects. Since nephrin mutation was first described in association with early-onset nephrotic syndrome (NS), many advancements have been made in understanding genetic patterns associated with FSGS. New genetic causes of FSGS have been discovered, displaying unexpected genotypes, and recognizing possible site of damage. Many recent large-scale sequencing analyses on patients affected by idiopathic chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney failure (KF) of unknown origin, or classified as FSGS, have revealed collagen alpha IV genes, as one of the most frequent sites of pathogenic mutations...

BACKGROUND: Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic drug commonly used in the treatment of many childhood solid malignancies. It is known to cause long-term nephrotoxicity, most commonly manifesting as reduced glomerular filtration rate and hypomagnesaemia. Existing literature regarding the epidemiology of long-term nephrotoxicity in childhood cancer describes large variation in prevalence and risk factors. OBJECTIVES: This study is to evaluate the prevalence of, and risk factors for, long-term cisplatin nephrotoxicity after treatment for childhood cancer...

BACKGROUND: Early in the history of kidney transplantation, short-term graft survival was low. Yet some have had excellent long-term survival. Herein, we describe characteristics of pediatric recipients with > 40 years of graft survival currently alive with a functioning first graft. METHODS: We reviewed all pediatric (age < 18 years) kidney transplants performed at the University of Minnesota between January 1, 1970, and December 31, 1979 (n = 148), to identify all recipients currently alive with a functioning first graft...

Mieczysław Litwin
The progress in research on the physiology of the cardiovascular system made in the last 100 years allowed for the development of the pathogenesis not only of secondary forms of hypertension but also of primary hypertension. The main determinants of blood pressure are described by the relationship between stroke volume, heart rate, peripheral resistance, and arterial stiffness. The theories developed by Guyton and Folkow describe the importance of the volume factor and total peripheral resistance. However, none of them fully presents the pathogenesis of essential hypertension...

BACKGROUND: Tubulointerstitial lesions and glomerular inflammation severity have been shown to correlate with proteinuria in children with IgA nephropathy (cIgAN). However, there is a lack of data regarding severity of histopathologic findings in cIgAN in patients with minimal to absent proteinuria since kidney biopsy indications are not well defined in these cases. METHODS: Twenty-eight cIgAN patients with kidney biopsy from 4 different centers in Paris (France) and Montreal (Canada) with a urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCr) ≤ 0...

Children receiving maintenance dialysis (chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5d) have unique risk factors for micronutrient deficiency or toxicity. Children receiving chronic dialysis often require specialized diet plans that may provide more than the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of water-soluble vitamins and micronutrients, with or without the addition of a kidney-friendly vitamin. The following is a comprehensive review of current literature on disorders of micronutrients in this population including those of water-soluble vitamins (vitamin C and vitamin B complexes) and trace elements (copper, selenium, and zinc) and has three areas of focus: (1) the risk factors and clinical presentations of disorders of micronutrients, both deficiency and toxicity, (2) the tools to evaluate micronutrient status, and (3) the central role of renal dietitians in optimizing nutritional status from a micronutrient perspective...

BACKGROUND: Individual variation in kidney function can be affected by both congenital and acquired factors, and kidney function in children is possibly correlated with that in their mothers. However, the mother-child correlation in kidney function remains directly unconfirmed. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 655 healthy pairs of 7- or 8-year-old children and their mothers as an adjunct study of a nationwide epidemiological study (Japan Environment and Children's Study)...

BACKGROUND: Anemia exhibits complex causation mechanisms and genetic heterogeneity. Some cases result in poor outcomes with multisystemic dysfunction, including renal tubulopathy. Early diagnosis is crucial to improve management. CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT: A 21-month-old female patient was admitted with severe anemia. Persistent neutropenia and dysplastic signs suggested myelodysplastic syndrome, but targeted gene panel results were negative. After multiple transfusions, spontaneous hematologic recovery was observed...

BACKGROUND: We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of repeated use of rituximab (RTX) in pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS). METHODS: Retrospective review of 50 patients with steroid-dependent NS (SDNS) who had received more than three cycles of RTX was conducted; each consisted of one to four infusions until B lymphocytes were depleted. RESULTS: The median age of starting the first RTX cycle was 12.4 years (interquartile ranges (IQR) 10...

BACKGROUND: One of the long-term complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is hypertension (HT). Previous studies showed that 10-15% of children post-HSCT had office HT, but only a few studies used ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). The present study was aimed at exploring the frequency and factors associated with ABPM HT in children post-HSCT. METHODS: Patients aged ≥ 6 years who survived ≥ 2 years after HSCT were enrolled...
