“…The predominant etiologies are frequently associated with volume-responsive 'pre-renal' mechanisms [27,28], or toxic mechanisms [13,29]. Specific single diseases such as acute glomerulonephritis [30][31][32][33] and malaria [34,35] represent important causes of pediatric AKI. For instance, malaria continues to pose a health challenge with the upsurge in its global incidence [36].…”

Acute kidney injury (AKI) in children is a major health problem worldwide particularly in tropical developing countries where the annual burden of AKI is estimated to be 11.3 million cases. The dismal outcome from AKI is evidenced by the high mortality rates recorded in many of these countries. The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) recently launched a global initiative which aimed to reduce preventable deaths from AKI to zero levels by the year 2025(0by25 initiative).This review aims to highlight the epidemiology of pediatric AKI in developing countries and the mitigating factors to the 0by25 initiative.Most of the etiologies of pediatric AKI are community-acquired single diseases such as malaria, gastroenteritis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Thus, many cases of AKI in these regions are potentially preventable through community-based interventions such as malaria prevention and oral rehydration therapy. However, several factors may mitigate the realization of the goal of the 0by25 initiative in this part of the world. These medical, economic, socio-cultural and political factors should be addressed by the authorities if the ambitious goal of this initiative is to be achieved by the end of the next decade.

The aim of this study was to define the current demographic, clinical and prognostic characteristics of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) in French Polynesia and to compare these features with those of other populations. Fifty children, all of whom were <15 years old and had been admitted to the Territorial Hospital of Papeete for APSGN between January 2005 and December 2007, were retrospectively enrolled in the study. Diagnostic criteria were microscopic or macroscopic haematuria, decreased C3 fraction of the complement and evidence of recent streptococcal infection. The annual incidence was 18 cases per 100,000 children <15 years of age in 2007. Most of the children (98%) enrolled in the study were of Polynesian ethnic origin, 27 were male (54%), and the average age at presentation was 6.7 years. Signs of previous respiratory infections were clearly evident in 40% of the children. Most of the patients presented during the rainy season, correlating with the relatively high incidence of skin infections at this time. The majority of patients had proteinuria (98%), with 25% having proteinuria in the nephrotic range (proteinuria/urinary creatinine >3 g/g). The presentation was severe in 22% of the children (congestive cardiac failure, severe hypertension and/or encephalopathy), and renal failure was an initial presenting symptom in 43.7%. The C3 fraction was lower in severe presentations, but the type of haematuria, level of proteinuria and inflammatory syndrome were not correlated with immediate severe forms or with initial renal failure. Haematuria resolved in a mean of 7.7 months and proteinuria in a mean of 3.9 months. None of the children had hypocomplementemia for more than 8 weeks. Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is endemic among French Polynesians, and they can be considered to be a high-risk population. Despite a high incidence of skin infections, however, the predominance of respiratory infections potentially indicates that French Polynesia is on the way to become a low-incidence area. Systematic detection and treatment of group A Streptococcus should be intensified.
