Progressive kidney dysfunction is often observed in children with bilateral hypoplastic kidneys. While glomerulopathy can exacerbate hypoplastic kidney progression, only IgA nephropathy and post-streptococcal acute glomerulonephritis have been noted in such cases. Herein, we present a case of a four-year-old female patient with bilateral hypoplastic kidney, kidney dysfunction, and significant proteinuria (urinary protein/creatinine ratio > 1 g/gCr), prompting referral owing to persistent hematuria since two years of age.

However, the mother-child correlation in kidney function remains directly unconfirmed.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 655 healthy pairs of 7- or 8-year-old children and their mothers as an adjunct study of a nationwide epidemiological study (Japan Environment and Children's Study).
Article Synopsis
- The Pediatric Rheumatology Association of Japan established the PRICUREv2 registry to continuously gather data on paediatric rheumatic diseases, addressing the limitations of previous one-off surveys.
- The analysis of the registry data revealed trends similar to those found internationally, identifying differences in age of onset and diagnosis times for various conditions like juvenile idiopathic arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
- The PRICUREv2 database is anticipated to enhance ongoing research and understanding of paediatric rheumatic diseases in Japan by providing comprehensive epidemiological data.
