Pediatric obesity at renal transplantation: A single center experience

Abstract: Obesity is a major issue affecting health care delivery. While studies have been done in adults with end-stage renal disease, similar studies are lacking in pediatric patients with this disease. We retrospectively analyzed our renal transplant database from 1978 to 2002, to identify prevalence and predisposing factors to obesity in a pediatric end-stage renal disease population. Obesity, particularly in younger individuals, was found to be prevalent at transplantation.

“…organ transplantation. [12][13][14][15] However, these inequalities in the prevalence and treatment of OM in children in the United States have not been thoroughly explored. The objective of this study was to systematically review published studies that report on racial/ethnic or socioeconomic disparities involving the diagnosis or treatment of otitis media within the United States.…”

“…Racial differences in a range of practices and outcomes, such as predialysis care, choice of dialysis modality, access to kidney transplant, and survival, have been well described among patients with ESRD (1,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Compared with these other outcomes and care practices, racial differences in patterns of end-of-life care among patients with ESRD have received much less attention (21)(22)(23)(24).…”

“…Some of the factors that have been thought to play a role include decreased rates of living-donor (LD) kidneys and pre-emptive transplantation, greater histocompatibility mismatches, and lower socioeconomic status (SES) among black versus white pediatric ESRD patients. 3,[8][9][10][11] Little information has been reported on transplant access in Hispanic children with ESRD; however, the work by Leonard et al 4 found a reduced rate of transplantation among Hispanic versus white pediatric incident dialysis patients. The work by Patzer et al 8 recently reported reduced access to deceased-donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) for both black and Hispanic pediatric incident ESRD patients compared with whites, even after adjusting for individual and neighborhoodlevel measures of SES.…”
