Chronic renal failure in pediatrics 1996   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
 The Nephrology Branch of the Chilean Pediatric Society has greatly influenced the development of government health plans regarding the management and care of patients under 18 years with chronic renal failure (CRF). In order to assess the status of children with CRF in Chile up to 1996, a questionnaire was sent to all pediatric nephrologists in charge of those children. The total sample was of 227 patients under 18 years, giving a national prevalence of 42.5 and an incidence of 5.7 per million inhabitants; of these patients, 50.7% were male, 58.6% over 10 years and 15% younger than 5 years. The most frequent etiologies of CRF were: obstructive uropathy, 18.1%; hypo/dysplasia, 16.7%; reflux nephropathy, 16.7%; and glomerulopathies, 16.3%. Although 48% of patients were on conservative medical treatment, 42.2% of these were in end-stage renal disease, 22.9% were on dialysis, and 29.1% had undergone renal transplantation. Of the dialysis group, 75% were on peritoneal dialysis. Of the transplanted children, 78.8% had normal renal function, but 16.7% returned to dialysis. Three-year graft survival and patient survival were 68% and 94%, respectively. Received: 19 January 1998 / Revised: 6 July 1998 / Accepted: 16 July 1998  相似文献

Neuropathic bladder is considered a threat to the kidneys if not managed appropriately. In this study, we report our experience with neuropathic bladder at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) as a cause of chronic renal failure (CRF) in the pediatric age group. This retrospective study included all children diagnosed with neuropathic bladder who presented with moderate or severe CRF over a 4-year period from December 2000 to December 2004 [glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at presentation <50 ml/min per 1.73 m2]. Fifteen patients were diagnosed with neuropathic bladder; group A consisted of ten patients with spina bifida and one with sacral agenesis and group B consisted of four patients with nonneurogenic neurogenic bladders (NNNB). The mean age±SD at presentation was 6.2±3.8 years, GFR was 24.2±12.4 ml/min per 1.73 m2, and creatinine was 289.9±253.2 μmol/l. There were no differences in the age at presentation to a pediatric nephrologist or the degree of renal failure at presentation between the two groups. Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) was not started in all patients before presentation to KAUH, except in two children. Five children required dialysis as they were in end-stage renal failure (ESRF). All except one received peritoneal dialysis (PD). Their mean age at the start of dialysis was 10.8±1.7 years. Neuropathic bladder due to spina bifida or NNNB is an important cause of CRF in developing countries. There was a considerable delay in the diagnosis of NNNB and a significant delay in starting CIC in all neuropathic patients.  相似文献

 Chronic renal failure (CRF) in the first years of life is associated with developmental defects of enamel in the permanent dentition. We investigated if CRF also affects the primary (deciduous) dentition. Thirty-one children with CRF on conservative treatment (n=12) or on renal replacement therapy (n=19) underwent dental inspection. In addition, 18 CRF children provided an exfoliated deciduous tooth for microscopic examination. Enamel defects were detected in a total of 12 children (31%), either clinically or microscopically. Of the 7 children affected clinically, 6 (19% of all examined) presented localized hypoplasia of the primary canines, which was found only in 3% of healthy control children: 1 patient had generalized pitted enamel hypoplasia. By microscopy, 5 of 10 primary canines examined showed enamel hypoplasia localized exclusively in enamel formed after birth. The ”birth line,” a visible structure within the primary enamel, was always present, which excludes a prenatal onset of the defects. Of the 12 patients with an enamel defect, 9 had a documented onset of CRF within the first 7 weeks of life. We conclude that renal disease leading to CRF may affect enamel formation of primary teeth in early postnatal life, resulting in lesions different from those observed in the secondary dentition.

Outcome and growth of infants with severe chronic renal failure   总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18  
BACKGROUND: We aimed to assess the outcome and growth of infants with severe chronic renal failure (CRF). One hundred and one children presented between January 1, 1986, and December 12, 1998, with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of <20 mL/min/1.73 m2. The median (range) age at presentation was 0.3 (0 to 1.5) years, and follow-up was 7.6 (1.5 to 13) years. One- and five-year survival rates were 87 and 78%, respectively. The growth of the 81 children who survived over two years was evaluated. Eighty-one percent were enterally fed from age 0.7 (0 to 4.5) years for 1.9 (0.1 to 6.8) years. Forty-six percent had a gastrostomy, and 22% a Nissen fundoplication. Twenty-five were managed conservatively. Twenty were transplanted without dialysis at age 4 (1.7 to 8.5) years, and 36 were dialyzed at age 1.1 (0 to 9.8) before transplantation at age 2. 4 (1.3 to 10) years. RESULTS: The mean (SD) height standard deviation score increased from -2.16 (1.34) at 6 months (N = 63) to -1.97 (1.37) at 1 year (N = 75), -1.79 (1.29) at 2 years (N = 75), -1.33 (1.29) at 3 years (N = 68, P = 0.0006), -1.27 (1.04) at 5 years (N = 47, P = 0.0001), and -0.85 (0.82) at 10 years (N = 18, P = 0.001). The body mass index was in the normal range in the majority of patients. CONCLUSION: Mortality in infants with CRF occurs mainly in the first year of life. With early enteral feeding, the mean height standard deviation score is within the normal range from one year of age.  相似文献

In a retrospective survey, 623 children with chronic renal failure (CRF) comprising a 7-year period were registered in the Federal Republic of Germany. The primary renal disease could be classified in 91% of the patients. Pyelonephritis was the most frequent diagnosis (31%), followed by glomerulopathies (20%), renal hypoplasia or dysplasia (14%), cystic kidney disease including nephronophthisis (12%), other hereditary nephropathies (7%), and vascular nephropathies (4%). At the time of first presentation, 23% of the children with preterminal chronic renal failure were younger than 5 years, 34% 5 to 10 years and 43% 10 to 16 years old. At the time of renal death, the serum creatinine level was below 10 mg/dl in 84% of the children below 5 years, compared to 5% in the patients older than 10 years. The mean interval from the first presentation of CRF to the terminal stage was 6 months in vascular nephropathies, 19 months in cystic renal disease, 26 months in glomerular disorders, 32 months in pyelonephritis, and 36 months in hereditary nephropathies and in renal hypoplasia or dysplasia. The range of these intervals is so large, even when diagnostic subgroups are considered, that a reliable prediction of the individual course from the underlying kidney disease is not possible.  相似文献

Over an 8-year period (January 1996 to December 2003), a total of 171 patients below the age of 15 years were diagnosed with chronic renal failure. The mean incidence rate of CRF in Kuwaiti children was found to be 38.2 per million children per year, with a peak incidence of 55 per million children per year. While the mean age at diagnosis was 33±12 months (range: 1 month to 15 years), the male:female ratio was 2.7:1. Etiological factors for chronic renal failure included congenital urological malformation (61.9%), chronic glomerulopathies (5.2%), hereditary nephropathies (21%), multi-system disease (0.5%), chronic pyelonephritis (without VUR) (4.6%), tumors (0.6%), ischemic renal disease (1.1%) and unknown etiology (1.7%). Thirty percent of patients reached end-stage renal disease within a mean of 18 months following diagnosis. The overall mortality before reaching ESRD was reported to be 4%. Kuwait has one of the highest incidence and prevalence rates of CRF in children. It is likely that genetic and hereditary factors are the cause of these high rates.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Diarrhea-associated (D+) hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a common cause of acute renal failure in children. Progressive renal insufficiency has been documented on prolonged follow-up of selected patients. However, it is uncertain whether all children recovering from varying degrees of HUS require long-term follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We reviewed the outcome of 114 patients with D+ HUS presenting to a regional pediatric unit between January 1986 and December 1996. Yearly clinical review post illness included measurement of blood pressure and urinalysis for proteinuria with planned GFR assessments by 51Cr EDTA slope clearance at 1 and 5 years. RESULTS: Treatment of the HUS was conservative in 27%, by peritoneal dialysis in 62%, hemodialysis in 4% and both peritoneal and hemodialysis in 7%. Ninety-two patients were assessed at 1 year - of these, 1 remained on chronic peritoneal dialysis, 5 (5%) had moderate to severe chronic renal failure (CRF) (GFR 25 - 50 ml/min/1.73 m2), 20 (22%) had mild CRF (GFR 50-80) and 66 (72%) had normal renal function (> or =80 ml/min/1.73 m2). Forty patients have had GFRs performed at 1 and 5 years. Of the 28 patients with a normal GFR at 1 year, 3 deteriorated into mild CRF at 5 years. One patient has a single kidney and one had significant proteinuria at 1 year, factors which would have led to long-term follow-up. There was a negative correlation between number of days of dialysis and GFR at 1 year with a Pearson's correlation coefficient of -0.453 (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: We conclude that renal function at I year following HUS cannot be predicted with any certainty from the initial illness and should be formally assessed. However, renal function was within normal limits and remained stable between 1 and 5 years following HUS in most children. The results suggest that longer-term follow-up can probably be restricted to those with proteinuria, hypertension, abnormal ultrasound and/or impaired GFR at 1 year.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the etiology and treatment modalities and to determine mortality risks in hospitalized children with chronic renal failure (CRF) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We reviewed the records of 310 children with CRF hospitalized in Ho Chi Minh City from January 2001 to December 2005. The average annual number cases was 4.8 per million child population native to Ho Chi Minh City. Median age was 14 years; 85% of patients were in end-stage renal failure. Associated illnesses were anemia (96%), hypertension (74%), and cardiopulmonary diseases (39%). Causes of CRF included glomerulonephritis (30%) and congenital/hereditary anomalies (20%), but in 50% of children, the etiology was unavailable. Seventy-three percent of cases with end-stage renal failure did not benefit from renal replacement therapy. During hospitalization, 47 patients (15%) died. Mortality risks were higher in young children (1–4 years), in boys, and in patients with acquired pathologies. Severe metabolic acidosis was the main predictive factor of mortality by multivariate regression analysis. Our data shows a poor outcome due to late referral and limited facilities for renal replacement therapy in children with CRF hospitalized in Ho Chi Minh City.  相似文献

Etiology of chronic renal failure in Turkish children   总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0  
The etiology of chronic renal failure (CRF) was studied in 459 Turkish children (205 girls, 254 boys) for the period January 1979-December 1993. Their mean age at onset of CRF was 9.5±4.2 years (range 1–16 years); CRF was defined as a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) below 50 ml/min per 1.73 m2 for at least 6 months. When a GFR determination was not available, the serum creatinine concentration was used: greater than 1 mg/dl for children aged 1–3 years, greater than 1.5 mg/dl for those 3–10 years and greater than 2 mg/dl for those 10–16 years. Primary renal disorders were as follows: reflux nephropathy 32.4% glomerular diseases 22.2%, hereditary renal disorders 11.4%, amyloidosis 10.6%, urinary stones 8% and other renal disorders 15.4%. Twenty-three cases of reflux nephropathy (15.4%) were associated with neural tube defects (NTD) and 20 (13.4%) were caused by infravesical obstruction. CRF caused vesicoureteral reflux associated with NTD and amyloidosis are more frequent in our series compared with west European and Nordic countries.  相似文献

This retrospective study reports seven children and three young adults (aged 11–30 years) who suffered from Wegener granulomatosis. Nine represent consecutive patients admitted to the Division of Nephrology over a period of 23 years. All patients had respiratory tract symptoms and renal involvement on admission. In several patients infiltrates on chest X-ray developed within 2 weeks of onset of symptoms. All patients survived. The median observation period was 9 years (range 13 months to 23 years). One patient progressed to end-stage renal disease. Nine patients initially received cyclophosphamide and steroids. After a median period of 9 months (range 6–31 months) the cyclophosphamide was replaced by azathioprine. Relapses occurred after a median of 28 months (range 4–120 months) in 80% of patients, in six of the eight patients causing a definite decrease in kidney function. We believe that early diagnosis and initiation of therapy reduce the extent of organ damage. Since relapses are frequent, these patients should be evaluated frequently.
