    Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring after renal transplantation in children.

    Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany)·2001

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Pediatric Nephrology

    Background:

    • Takayasu's arteritis is a rare inflammatory condition affecting the aorta and its branches.
    • It can lead to significant vascular complications, including renal artery stenosis, in children.
    • Hypertension is a common but often asymptomatic presentation in pediatric cases.

    Observation:

    • Three boys presented with symptoms suggestive of Takayasu's arteritis.
    • Symptoms ranged from failure to thrive and vomiting in an infant to asymptomatic hypertension in older children.
    • All patients exhibited bilateral renal artery stenosis alongside aortic and great vessel arteritis.

    Findings:

    • Clinical and angiographic findings strongly indicated Takayasu's arteritis.

  • Hypertension was a key diagnostic feature in all three pediatric patients.
  • Renal autotransplantation was successfully performed in all cases.

    • Implications:

    • Takayasu's arteritis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric hypertension.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention, such as renal autotransplantation, can improve outcomes.
    • Timely surgical treatment may mitigate long-term morbidity associated with pediatric Takayasu's arteritis.
