Clinical implications of the solitary functioning kidney.
Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract are the major cause of ESRD in childhood. Children with a solitary functioning kidney form an important subgroup of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract patients, and a significant fraction of these children is at risk for progression to CKD. However, challenges remain in distinguishing patients with a high risk for disease pr...
متن کاملSolitary functioning kidney in children--a follow-up study.
BACKGROUND/AIMS This study aims to assess the cumulative incidence of elevated albuminuria, hypertension and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to identify possible renal injury in children with SFK. METHODS Forty-two children with SFK (23 boys; 27 congenital) were included in a prospective follow-up study. Blood pressure, albuminuria and eGFR were assessed repeatedly and t...
متن کاملCardiorespiratory fitness: a comparison between children with renal transplantation and children with congenital solitary functioning kidney
Children with end-stage renal disease are known to have a cardiorespiratory fitness significantly reduced. This is considered to be an independent index predictive of mortality mainly due to cardiovascular accidents. The effects of renal transplantation on cardiorespiratory fitness are incompletely known. We compared the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) of children with a functioning renal trans...
متن کاملEvolution of blood pressure in children with congenital and acquired solitary functioning kidney
BACKGROUND It is not yet clear if blood pressure and renal function changes evolve differently in children with a congenital or acquired solitary functioning kidney. This study aims to assess if there are any differences between these two types of solitary kidney patients. METHODS Current research is a retrospective study assessing the evolution of glomerular filtration rate, proteinuria, and...
متن کاملRisk factors for renal injury in children with a solitary functioning kidney.
OBJECTIVE The hyperfiltration hypothesis implies that children with a solitary functioning kidney are at risk to develop hypertension, proteinuria, and chronic kidney disease. We sought to determine the presenting age of renal injury and identify risk factors for children with a solitary functioning kidney. METHODS We evaluated 407 patients for signs of renal injury, defined as hypertension, ...
