ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplant In Children Treatment By - Dr. Sidharth Kumar Sethi

 Transplant In Children Treatment by 

 -  Dr. Sidharth Kumar Sethi

Recent literature has endorsed favorable outcomes following ABOi kidney transplantation in pediatric population. Nevertheless, reluctance to pursue an ABOi still remains pervasive. This could be ascribed to various legitimate reasons, namely less extensive pediatric ABOi data, technical difficulties encountered during PP, cost restraints, and concerns regarding higher rates of antibody-mediated rejection, infectious complications, and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder as compared to adults. However, given the similar excellent outcomes of both ABOi and ABOc kidney transplantation, clinicians should consider this option sooner if a compatible donor or swap is not available. Here, we describe the outcomes of three pediatric ABOi performed at our institute in India (from 2014 till now), wherein distinct apheresis modalities had been employed in each desensitization protocol, and our techniques evolved with advancing science in apheresis. This case series includes India’s first published pediatric ABO-incompatible transplant (Case 2) and the youngest child to undergo ABO-incompatible renal transplant in SAARC nations (Case 3).

What Is Nephrotic Syndrome And What Causes It?

What Is Nephrotic Syndrome And What Causes It? Nephrotic syndrome  is disease of the kidneys where the filtering system made of functional units called the nephrons, gets damaged. This is the name given to the collection of findings which develop as a result of such a damage. When the filtering system gets damaged, the kidney tends to filter substances which it usually doesn’t, and filter less of substances which it usually does. All of these issues give rise to some characteristic findings, which include: Large amounts of protein present in the urine which results from leakage of protein through the damaged nephrons which usually prevent protein leak. This is known as proteinuria in medical terms and is calculated according to your child’s age and body weight. Low levels of protein in the blood, which results from the protein leaking out into the urine, and is called Hypoalbuminemia. Edema or tissue swelling in all areas of the body, which is the result of reduced levels of protein in

Kidney Replacement Therapy In COVID-19 Induced Kidney Failure And Septic Shock | Dr. Sidharth Kumar Sethi

The recent worldwide pandemic of COVID-19 has had a detrimental worldwide impact on people of all ages. Although data from China and the United States indicate that pediatric cases often have a mild course and are less severe in comparison to adults, there have been several cases of kidney failure and multisystem inflammatory syndrome reported. As such, we believe that the world should be prepared if the severity of cases begins to further increase within the pediatric population. Therefore, we provide here a position paper centered on emergency preparation with resource allocation for critical COVID-19 cases within the pediatric population, specifically where renal conditions worsen due to the onset of AKI.
