Diagnosis and treatment of IgA nephropathy and IgA vasculitis nephritis in Chinese children
Xuhui Zhong & Jie Ding
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05798-6
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and IgA vasculitis-associated nephritis (IgAVN) are among the most frequent childhood glomerular diseases and are characterized by significant variability in clinical manifestations, pathological presentation and long-term outcomes. IgAVN, alternatively called purpura nephritis, is pathologically indistinguishable from kidney-limited IgAN.
Phthalates cause a low-renin phenotype commonly found in premature infants with idiopathic neonatal hypertension
Randall D. Jenkins
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05773-1
Since the 1970s, when the initial reports of neonatal hypertension related to renal artery thromboembolism were published, other secondary causes of neonatal hypertension have been reported. Those infants with no identifiable cause of hypertension were labeled with a variety of terms.

Predictive factors for survival in patients with oligohydramnios secondary to antenatal kidney disease
Mathilde Baudin, Claire Herbez, Isabelle Guellec, Ferdinand Dhombres, Lucie Guilbaud, Cyrielle Parmentier, Jean Daniel Delbet, Catherine Garel, Eleonore Bondiaux, Jean Marie Jouannic & Tim Ulinski
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05800-1
Renal oligohydramnios (ROH) is caused by bilateral congenital abnormalities, either of renal parenchymal or obstructive origin. ROH is a poor prognostic factor of neonatal survival; lung hypoplasia is reported to be the main cause of mortality. We aimed to describe the fetal morbidity and pre- and postnatal mortality in case of ROH due to renal congenital pathologies and to find predictive risk factors for morbidity and mortality.

doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05811-y
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a frequent manifestation of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) with a potential risk for kidney failure and poor outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate stages III, IV, and V of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and investigate risk factors for CKD in cSLE patients.
Fetal growth restriction followed by very preterm birth is associated with smaller kidneys but preserved kidney function in adolescence
Jonas Liefke, Caroline Heijl, Katarina Steding-Ehrenborg, Eva Morsing, Håkan Arheden, David Ley & Erik Hedström
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05785-x
Preterm birth and fetal growth restriction (FGR) are associated with structural and functional kidney changes, increasing long-term risk for chronic kidney disease and hypertension. However, recent studies in preterm children are conflicting, indicating structural changes but normal kidney function. This study therefore assessed kidney structure and function in a cohort of adolescents born very preterm with and without verified FGR.
Relation between obesity-related comorbidities and kidney function estimation in children
Mark J. C. M. van Dam, Hans Pottel & Anita C. E. Vreugdenhil
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05810-z
The current childhood obesity pandemic is likely to result in an increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) later in life. Correlations between obesity-related comorbidities and kidney function can be found, but it is unclear to what extent this is caused by bias due to different mathematical forms of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations.
Normative values of renin and aldosterone in clinically stable preterm neonates
James Haiyang Xu, Erika Bariciak, Mary-Ann Harrison, Margaret Broom, Brigitte Lemyre, Richard J. Webster, Gabrielle Weiler, Jane E. Dahlstrom & Alison Kent
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05807-8
There is a paucity of literature on the normative levels of plasma renin concentration (PRC) and serum aldosterone (SA) in premature neonates. This study aims to provide normative data on PRC and SA levels in preterm neonates in the first 2Â weeks after birth and explore associations with maternal, perinatal, or postnatal factors.

Kristen Sgambat, Sarah Clauss & Asha Moudgil
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05771-3
Children with kidney failure have increased risk for cardiovascular morbidities before and after transplantation. Ejection fraction is often preserved, masking cardiac dysfunction until severe. Data on longitudinal changes in diastolic function and cardiac geometry are limited.

The PedsQL 3.0 End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Module is a well-accepted instrument internationally but it is not available in the local language. We aimed to validate the Bahasa Melayu (Malay language) version and determine the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores amongst children with CKD in Malaysia.

Differences in medication adherence between preemptive and post-dialysis young kidney transplant recipients
Yulia Vaisbourd, Mourad Dahhou, Alexia De Simone, Xun Zhang & Bethany J. Foster
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05797-7
The mechanisms underlying the superior graft survival associated with preemptive kidney transplantation, compared with transplantation following a period of dialysis, are unknown. We aimed to compare medication adherence between preemptively transplanted young kidney transplant recipients and those who received a transplant after an interval of dialysis.

Sophie Lijdsman, Kim J. Oostrom, Marit S. van Sandwijk, Antonia H. Bouts, Koen van Hoeck, Huib de Jong, Jaap Oosterlaan, Frederike J. Bemelman, Marsh Königs & Jaap W. Groothoff
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05781-1
Severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children and young adults has shown to be associated with abnormal brain development, which may contribute to neurocognitive impairments. We aimed to investigate risk factors for neurocognitive impairment and investigate the relation with structural brain abnormalities in young severe CKD patients.

Faris N. Al Gharaibeh, Shruthi Mohan, Michael A. Santoro, Cara L. Slagle & Stuart L. Goldstein
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05840-7
Sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) are associated with mortality in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU). There is a paucity of studies that describe AKI and fluid overload in neonatal sepsis and their association with mortality.
Severe rhabdomyolysis secondary to COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in a teenager
Aidan Pucchio, Maya Heled Akiva, Helena Evangeliou, Jesse Papenburg & Marina I. Salvadori
doi : 10.1007/s00467-022-05808-7
Rhabdomyolysis, the breakdown of skeletal muscles following an insult or injury, has been established as a possible complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite being highly effective in preventing COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality, several cases of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination-induced rhabdomyolysis have been identified. We provide the second description of a pediatric case of severe rhabdomyolysis presenting after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination.

Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by a mutation in LIM-homeodomain transcription factor 1-beta (LMX1B) and characterized by nail dystrophy, skeletal changes, glaucoma, and kidney disease with up to 30% of patients progressing to kidney failure. Autoimmune diseases, including thyroid disease, have been reported previously in patients with NPS.
