Prevalencia de enfermedad renal en niños aparentemente sanos con antecedente familiar de terapia de reemplazo renal

Abstract

The study of families of patients undergoing renal replacement therapy is useful to identify children in early stages of kidney disease.

Calidad de vida en los niños que viven con Enfermedad Renal Crónica

“…Los resultados de esta investigación muestran que los niños con ERC se encuentran, en promedio, en edades entre 12,7 años (DE) ± 2,8 años, más alta que la reportada en datos locales (31) y muy cercana a la que se indica en Cuenta de Alto Costo para 2015 (13), lo cual se relaciona con las causas de la enfermedad y la edad en la que inicia. En general, con relación al sexo, la distribución de la enfermedad fue similar, en contravía de estudios donde se menciona que es más frecuente en niños que en niñas, debido a la estructura del aparato urinario (32).…”

Sensitivity and specificity of increased pulse pressure as a diagnostic test for K/DOQI stage III-b CKD

“…Data from 6,215 adult patients without comorbidities included in the Health Workers Cohort were analyzed. Participants' mean age was 41.3 ± 13.6 years, systolic pressure was 115 ± 12.9 mmHg, diastolic pressure was 70.1 ± 10.1 mmHg, pulse pressure was 45.3 ± 9.8 mmHg, serum creatinine was 0.9 ± 0.15 mg/dL, and eGFR was 85.9 ± 20.3 mL/min/1.73 m 2 .…”

“…Finally, glomerular filtration rate was classified according to the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) international guidelines, with the data of patients with a glomerular filtration ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73m 2 being analyzed. 2,11,12 The Excel program, version 2010, and the SPSS 21 statistical program, version 21, were used for statistical analysis.…”

“…Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition that at advanced stages increases the risk of cardiovascular disease-related death. [1][2][3] If detected at early stages, timely treatment can be started to preserve renal function and delay the start of replacement therapy with dialysis and/or hemodialysis, so far the only effective treatment for these patients. [1][2][3][4][5] Some patients may spend the first stages of the disease asymptomatically, and due to limited accessibility to health services, 1,3 CKD is usually diagnosed at advanced stages, when late complications of the disease are present with replacement treatment indication, which increases the risk of death.…”
