Disparities in dialysis in children | Dr. Sidharth Kumar Sethi

Disparities In Dialysis In Children HYPOTHESIS:  Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with a pediatric incidence ranging from 19.3% to 24.1%.  Treatment of pediatric AKI  is a source of debate in varying geographical regions. Currently CRRT is the treatment for pediatric AKI, but limitations due to cost and accessibility force use of adult equipment and other therapeutic options such as peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD). It was hypothesized that more cost-effective measures would likely be used in developing countries due to lesser resource availability. METHODS:  A 26-question internet-based survey was distributed to 650 pediatric Nephrologists. There was a response rate of 34.3% (223 responses). The survey was distributed via pedneph and pcrrt email servers, inquiring about demographics, technology, resources, pediatric-specific supplies, and preference in renal replacement therapy (RRT) in pediatric AKI.

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 protei...
