CKD in children and adolescents

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children and adolescents refers to a long-term, progressive loss of kidney function. It can be caused by congenital conditions, such as structural abnormalities, or acquired diseases, including glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome. CKD in children is classified into five stages, with the later stages leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), where dialysis or kidney transplantation is needed.

Key Points:

  1. Causes:
    • Congenital anomalies (e.g., kidney dysplasia, obstructive uropathies)
    • Hereditary conditions (e.g., polycystic kidney disease)
    • Glomerular diseases (e.g., nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis)
  2. Symptoms:
    • Growth failure
    • Fatigue, anemia
    • High blood pressure
    • Bone disease due to abnormal calcium and phosphorus levels
  3. Management:
    • Controlling blood pressure (antihypertensives)
    • Managing protein intake
    • Treating complications like anemia, bone disease
    • Dialysis or transplant in severe cases
  4. Outlook:
    • Early detection and management are critical in slowing disease progression.
    • Multidisciplinary care is often required, including nephrologists, dietitians, and pediatric specialists.
