Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease

Advances in Pediatrics, 2022
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children has a significant impact on morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. The degree of renal dysfunction should be calculated using pediatric-specific formulas and the degree of CKD staged; this allows for appropriate dosing of medications based on renal function and monitoring for progression and comorbid ...

Chronic kidney disease and kidney stones

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2020
Both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney stones are major public health problems, which are closely interrelated. Recurrent kidney stones predispose to CKD although CKD seems to decrease risk of further kidney stone formation. Herein, we review new information of this interrelationship.Several epidemiological studies in the past have shown an ...
