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

Image
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.

Testing For And Diagnosing Nephrotic Syndrome In Children, Nephrotic syndrome Specialist in Delhi - Dr. Sidharth Sethi

Image
  Testing For And Diagnosing Nephrotic Syndrome In Children Nephrotic syndrome explained: Nephrotic syndrome is a condition which affects the kidneys and the miniscule filtering system within it, called the nephrons. There is damage to these structures as a result of various reasons, and mostly in children the cause remains unknown, also known as idiopathic  nephrotic syndrome . As a result of this damage, the kidney starts to filter less of the substances that it usually helps our body get rid of, and it also starts to filter in excess certain substances which are useful to the body. Therefore an affected child usually presents with certain characteristic symptoms, including, swelling of the tissues, especially in the face and abdomen. Diagnosing the condition: It is when a child presents with this characteristic symptom of swelling in most areas of the body, that your doctor/pediatrician will suspect  nephrotic syndrome . It is very important that the diagnosis is made ...

Neonatal AKI is Common in Neonatal Intensive Care Units & Leads to Worse Outcomes, Treatment by Dr. Sidharth Kumar Sethi

Image
  Background Neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and leads to worse outcomes. Stratifying neonates into an “at risk” category allows health care providers to objectively recognize opportunities for improvements in quality of care. Methods The “Neonatal AKI Risk Prediction Scoring” was devised as the “STARZ [Sethi, Tibrewal, Agrawal, Raina, waZir]” Score. The STARZ score was derived from our prior multicentre study analysing risk factors for AKI in neonates admitted to the NICU. This tool includes 10 variables with a total score ranging from 0 to 100 and a cut-off score of 31.5. In the present study, the scoring model has been validated in our multicentre cohort of 744 neonates. Results In the validation cohort, this scoring model had sensitivity of 82.1%, specificity 91.7%, positive predictive value 81.2%, negative predictive value 92.2% and accuracy 88.8%. Based on the STARZ cut-off score of ≥ 31.5, an area under the receiver o...

Nephrotic syndrome Specialist Delhi, India - Dr. Sidharth Kumar Sethi | pediatricnephrologyindia |

  Nephrotic Syndrome Most people have two kidneys, one on either side of the body just beneath the ribcage. Healthy kidneys filter the blood and allow small particles of waste products and water to be excreted as urine. Kidneys also play important role in the control of blood pressure, maintenance of bone health and formation of red blood cells. What is nephrotic syndrome? Nephrotic syndrome  occurs when the kidneys leak large amounts of protein (especially albumin) into the urine. It is these proteins which is mainly responsible for holding water in the blood vessels, and when they are lost in urine, their level decreases in the blood which causes the water to come out of the blood vessels and cause swelling (edema). What causes Nephrotic Syndrome? In most cases, the exact cause of  nephrotic syndrome  is not known. There is no relationship with diet or socioeconomic status of the family. It is non-infectious and does not transfer to other family members . What are ...
