Intellectual Functioning of Pediatric Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Results from the KNOW-Ped CKD

Socioeconomic Position and Health Among Children and Adolescents With CKD Across the Life-Course

“…Higher maternal education was associated with higher intelligence quotient and executive functioning in the CKiD cohort. 51 Although the KNOW-Ped CKD study of mild-to-moderate CKD in South Korea 52 ( Supplementary Table S1 ) found no crude association of family SEP with full-scale intelligence quotient, numbers were small, and estimates indicated poorer functioning in the lowest group. Findings for psychosocial functioning and mental health are conflicting, including significant and nonsignificant associations for income 53 , 54 and education 53 , 55 across CKiD and KNOW-Ped studies.…”

Optimal hemodialysis treatment for pediatric kidney failure patients

“…Although objective methods including bioimpedance spectroscopy and relative blood volume monitoring have recently been introduced, there is little evidence to support their application in pediatric patients with HD. Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a higher frequency of neurodevelopmental and cognitive dysfunction [ 9 ]. Psychosocial problems are also an important issue for pediatric patients with CKD [ 10 ].…”

“…Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a higher frequency of neurodevelopmental and cognitive dysfunction. 9) Psychosocial problems are also an important issue for pediatric patients with CKD. 10) Several factors contribute to these compli cations in children on HD, such as uremic toxins, ischemic brain injury caused by intradialytic hypotension, educational disruption due to frequent hospital visits, and traumatic medical experiences.…”
