- 1From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedWe evaluated the predictors of renal scar in children with urinary tract infections (UTIs) having primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Data of patients who were examined by dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy...
- 2From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedCase summary An 11-year-old, otherwise healthy, Caucasian boy was referred to an orthopaedic surgeon by his general practitioner, as his father had recently noticed that he was tending to evert his foot when walking....
- 3From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedLeptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis. Typically, patients are young men, although children can be affected. In children, this disease causes mainly alterations of sensorium. Acute renal failure and jaundice (Weil's...
- 4From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe peritoneal contact surface area (PCSA), which represents the area parameter in the mass transfer area coefficient (MTAC), is a crucial marker in the evaluation of peritoneal dialysis effectiveness. However, the...
- 5From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe aim of this study was to assess the association between the transforming growth factor-[beta]1 (TGF-[beta]1) gene polymorphisms rs1800469 (commonly known as T-509C) and rs1982073 (commonly known as...
- 6From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedLong-term survival of children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is mainly limited by cardiovascular disease. Pediatric CKD patients (n=26) on conservative treatment, dialysis and after renal...
- 7From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe next series of teaching articles are devoted to acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI, previously known as acute renal failure, represents a significant and devastating problem in clinical medicine. More than 30...
- 8From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedMost patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome are steroid-responsive, but about 50% relapse and often become steroid-dependent and exposed to long-term steroid complications. The aim of this study was to determine...
- 9From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedPrevious studies have demonstrated reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical changes of excessive bone resorption in some patients with idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH). Consequently, bisphosphonates have been...
- 10From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedDopamine is important in the pathogenesis of hypertension because of abnormalities in receptor-mediated regulation of renal sodium transport. Dopamine receptors are classified into [D.sub.1]-like ([D.sub.1], [D.sub.5])...
- 11From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedPigment nephropathy accounts for approximately 3% of all cases of acute renal failure (ARF) in children. Studies of risk factors associated with ARF and the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) in children with...
- 12From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedAcute kidney injury (AKI), previously referred to as acute renal failure (ARF), represents a persistent problem in clinical medicine. Despite significant improvements in therapeutics, the mortality and morbidity...
- 13From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of simvastatin, a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, on inflammation and glomerulosclerosis in Adriamycin...

- 15From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedNephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a disease seen exclusively in patients with decreased renal function. The use of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) has a strong association with NSF. Linear non-ionic GBCAs...
- 16From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedLow birth weight (BWT) may contribute to kidney disease and could explain some of the variance in the development of early diabetic kidney disease. This hypothesis was tested in the multicenter SEARCH study (3,714 youth...
- 17From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedLong-term survival after successful transplantation is limited by cardiovascular disease. We studied changes in arterial function in children after renal transplantation. We measured pulse-wave velocity (PWV) and the...
- 18From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedStudies focusing on serum sodium disorders in children with community-acquired-pneumonia (CAP) are nearly entirely lacking, though clinical experience suggests that at least hyponatremia (HN) might be rather common. We...
- 19From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 23, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedTreatment of otherwise lethal ethylene glycol poisoning depends on rapid diagnosis, aggressive supportive care, appropriate use of alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors and, in selected patients, hemodialysis. Next to that,...
