Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in children.

G Braun, L Moussali, J L Balanzar

    The Journal of Urology
    |February 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in children may present similarly to chronic pyelonephritis. Factors like malnutrition and kidney stones may influence this presentation in pediatric cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Renal Pathology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is typically seen in adult women and presents as a renal mass.
    • An increasing number of pediatric XGP cases suggest different disease characteristics compared to adults.
    • The distinction between XGP and chronic pyelonephritis in children requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine if XGP in children is a distinct entity from chronic pyelonephritis.
    • To compare pediatric XGP cases with adult XGP and pediatric chronic pyelonephritis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 39 pediatric cases undergoing nephrectomy for chronic or xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.
    • Comparison of pediatric XGP cases with literature data on adult XGP and local pediatric chronic pyelonephritis cases.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation, demographic data, and microbiological findings.

    Main Results:

    • Demographics and left kidney involvement were similar between pediatric XGP and chronic pyelonephritis groups.
    • Severe malnutrition, urolithiasis, reno-cutaneous fistula, and negative urine cultures were more frequent in pediatric XGP.
    • Escherichia coli was the most common microorganism in both groups; all pediatric XGP cases were diffuse.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric XGP may not be as distinct from chronic pyelonephritis as in adults.
    • Impaired immune response secondary to malnutrition and the presence of urolithiasis may contribute to XGP development in children.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the specific pathogenesis of XGP in the pediatric population.
