Article Synopsis
- Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a condition that affects many kids in developing countries like Turkey, and it can lead to kidney problems known as chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- A study in Turkey looked at children with MMC to find out how many had different stages of CKD and what factors made their kidney health worse.
- The results showed that 5.3% of the kids had CKD stage 5, and certain medical conditions were linked to an increased risk of serious kidney problems. To help these kids, doctors suggest taking early action in managing their bladder issues to prevent kidney failure.
