- 2From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedOptimization of the peritoneal dialysis prescription is dependent on proper characterization of the peritoneal membrane, as obtained by the peritoneal equilibration test (PET) or similar procedure. For any individual,...
- 3From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedSeveral drugs and other compounds can induce acute and/or chronic nephrotoxicity. The goal of this study was to review clinical features of nephrotoxicity induced by 'atypical' or 'unconventional' agents, such as...
- 4From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedFractional excretion of sodium (FENa) has been said to be the most sensitive index for differentiating prerenal failure (PRF) from intrinsic renal failure (IRF). However, there are several instances of high FENa (>2%)...
- 5From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedPatients with moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease have a greatly increased cardiovascular risk that cannot be explained entirely by traditional cardiovascular risk factors. An increase...
- 6From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedNeutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a protein identified in human neutrophil granules. The aim of the study was to assess whether urine level of NGAL (uNGAL) could represent a novel, reliable marker of...
- 7From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedHumanherpesvirus 6(HHV-6) infectioncan induce unusual complications in transplant patients, such as interstitial pneumonitis, encephalitis and marrow aplasia. We describe the clinical course of HHV-6 infection in a girl...
- 8From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedArterial stiffness (Ast) individually predicts cardiovascular (CV) mortality. Ast increases via vascular calcification and can be characterized by pulse wave velocity (PWV). We assessed the influence of mineral and bone...
- 9From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedRenal stone disease (nephrolithiasis) affects 3-5% of the population and is often associated with hypercalciuria. Hypercalciuric nephrolithiasis is a familial disorder in over 35% of patients and may occur as a...
- 10From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence trends and risk factors for urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by Enterobacteriaceae resistant to broad-spectrum [beta]-lactams in children. All...
- 11From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe aim of this study was to evaluate the final stature of adults with childhood-onset steroid-responsive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) and the influence of disease-related issues on the achievement of their...
- 12From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedA 3-year-old girl with Alport syndrome presented with decompensated heart failure from hypertension-induced cardiomyopathy 6 months following renal biopsy. Selective renal angiography revealed a large left renal...
- 13From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedSirs, We are concerned that the manner in which leukocytes are prepared for the determination of cystine levels may cause imprecise results which could adversely affect the treatment of patients with cystinosis....
- 14From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedPatients with sickle cell disease commonly experience painless hematuria. Hematuria may be found in patients with sickle cell trait, sickle cell anemia, and sickle cell hemoglobin C disease, but it is believed to be...

- 17From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedComputerized kinetic modeling is a valuable automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) prescription tool for optimizing dialysis adequacy. However, non-compliance results in failure to achieve adequacy targets. The aim of this...
- 18From: Pediatric Nephrology. (Vol. 24, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedWe present data on presentation, treatment, and follow-up of 65 pediatric patients with primary hypertension treated over the past 12 years, including initial anthropometric data, pharmacologic treatment, time to...
