Abstract

Purpose of review

This paper provides a review of the epidemiology, classification, risk-based stratification, and identification of traditional and novel risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in children. Current treatment strategies designed to halt progression and best practices regarding vascular access preservation are discussed.

Recent findings

Substantial progress in CKD diagnosis has been made, particularly in the refinement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations in children. A number of new risk factors for CKD progression are described, including genetic underpinnings of CKD. Efforts designed to risk-stratify those children at highest risk for progression to ESRD and to define modifiable risk factors have been undertaken by collaborative research initiatives.

Summary

The management of pediatric CKD comprises appropriate diagnosis and classification of CKD severity through the use of updated eGFR estimating equations, and amelioration of existing risk factors for progression. The most important factors, hypertension and proteinuria, are validated endpoints for treatment with medications that target renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade. Optimal blood pressure management is also essential to limit the frequency of cardiovascular disease. Several multicenter collaborative studies have shed light on the myriad of comorbidities experienced by children with CKD, in addition to elucidating risk determinants for CKD progression.

Vorsicht mit Glukokortikoiden bei Glomerulopathie

Auch niedrig dosierte Glukokortikoide zur Behandlung einer primären Glomerulopathie lassen offenbar die Infektionsgefahr steigen. In einer US-Studie hing das Risiko vor allem mit der kombinierten Anwendung von Immunsuppressiva zusammen.

Die elektronische Patientenakte kommt: Das sollten Sie jetzt wissen

Am 15. Januar geht die „ePA für alle“ zunächst in den Modellregionen an den Start. Doch schon bald soll sie in allen Praxen zum Einsatz kommen. Was ist jetzt zu tun? Was müssen Sie wissen? Wir geben in einem FAQ Antworten auf 21 Fragen.

Medikamente verändern wohl Nährstoffzusammensetzung der Muttermilch

Einige Medikamente wie selektive Serotonin-Wiederaufnahmehemmer können offenbar die Makronährstoffzusammensetzung der Muttermilch verändern. Das birgt möglicherweise gesundheitliche Risiken für manche gestillte Kinder.

Kann man Gestationsdiabetes mit oralen Antidiabetika behandeln?

Der Wunsch, Frauen mit Gestationsdiabetes eine orale Erstlinientherapie anbieten zu können, bleibt auch vorläufig ein Wunsch: Eine orale Stufentherapie hat sich in einer randomisierten Studie nicht als gleichwertig zu einer Insulintherapie erwiesen.
