Detección de la enfermedad renal crónica en niños
La Revue du praticien
|December 30, 2025
Resumen
El diagnóstico temprano de la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) pediátrica es crucial. Las anomalías congénitas son una causa principal, y la detección en niños ayuda a prevenir complicaciones a largo plazo y a ralentizar la progresión de la enfermedad.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Nefrología Pediátrica; Salud Pública; Epidemiología
Sus antecedentes:
- La epidemiología de la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) pediátrica difiere de la de los adultos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Destacar la importancia del diagnóstico y la detección tempranos de la ERC pediátrica.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de datos epidemiológicos y contextos clínicos para la ERC pediátrica.
Principales resultados:
- Las anomalías congénitas son una causa predominante de ERC pediátrica.
Conclusiones:
- El diagnóstico y la intervención oportunos en la ERC pediátrica son esenciales para preservar la función renal y mejorar los resultados de salud a largo plazo.

01:25Chronic Kidney Disease I: Introduction
531
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) arises when the kidneys progressively lose their ability to function, ultimately leading to end-stage renal disease. At this advanced stage, the kidneys can no longer filter waste or maintain essential body functions, requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) through dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.Early-stage chronic kidney disease and detection challengesIn CKD's early stages, symptoms often remain absent because healthy nephrons compensate for...

01:28Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care
316
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

01:28Drug Dosing in Renal Diseases: Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate Based on Serum Creatinine Concentration
158
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be estimated from serum creatinine using the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula or the chronic kidney disease–epidemiology collaboration (CKD–EPI) equation. Both methods are widely used in clinical practice to assess kidney function and guide treatment decisions.The MDRD equation does not require weight or height measurements and is normalized to the body surface area of 1.73 m², considered the average adult surface area.

01:30Acute Kidney Injury IV: Diagnostic Studies and Prevention
238
Accurate diagnosis and effective prevention are critical in managing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which is linked to high mortality rates ranging from 10% to 80%. Timely recognition of at-risk patients and careful monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of kidney damage.Diagnostic Assessments:The diagnostic process starts with a comprehensive medical history to identify prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.Prerenal causes, such as dehydration, hypotension, or blood loss, should...

01:18Chronic Kidney Disease IV: Nursing Management
283
Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of...

01:17Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
394
Renal dysfunction significantly impairs the renal clearance of drugs, leading to potential complications in drug therapy. Renal failure, which can be caused by various factors, poses a significant challenge in the elimination of drugs from the body.
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
