DOMINÓ Registry: study protocol on mineral and bone disease (DOença MINeral e Óssea) of chronic kidney disease in pediatrics in Brazil.

Introduction: Pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) develop mineral and bone disorders (MBD). We do not have Brazilian data that evaluate these outcomes, which can be obtained through epidemiological records.

Objective: To present the DOMINÓ study, which aims to describe CKD-MBD characteristics in Brazilian pediatric patients.

Growth in children with chronic kidney disease and associated risk factors for short stature.

Introduction: Growth failure in chronic kidney disease is related to high morbidity and mortality. Growth retardation in this disease is multifactorial. Knowing the modifiable factors and establishing strategies to improve care for affected children is paramount.

The challenges of the pandemic and the vaccination against covid-19 in pediatric patients with kidney disease.

The covid-19 vaccine confers direct protection and reduces transmission rates of the virus and new variants. Vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and CoronaVac have been cleared for children in Brazil. They are safe, effective, and immunogenic.

Pediatric peritoneal dialysis in Brazil: a discussion about sustainability. A document by the Brazilian Society of Nephrology, the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics, the Brazilian Association of Organ Transplantation, and the Brazilian Association of Dialysis and Transplant Centers.

IntroduÇÃo: A diálise peritoneal (DP) é importante para a pediatria. Este estudo mostrou dados de centros brasileiros que utilizam DP pediátrica.

MÉtodo: Estudo transversal, observacional, descritivo com questionário eletrônico.

Clinical, pathophysiological and genetic aspects of inherited tubular disorders in childhood.

In this review, we described the tubular function of each nephron segment followed by the most important changes that may occur in the transporters expressed therein. Thus, knowledge of the changes in renal tubular function allows the understanding and recognition of renal tubular diseases that can cause stillbirth or death in newborns or in childhood. Moreover, children with tubular disorders may progress to chronic renal disease at an early stage of life and they may also show disturbances of growth and development associate or not with neurological dysfunction.

Influence of nephrotic state on the infectious profile in childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.

Unlabelled: Patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome present alterations in their cellular and humoral immune reactions that predispose them to the development of infectious processes.

Purpose: To characterize the infectious processes in patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.

Patients And Methods: Ninety-two children and adolescents with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome were assessed retrospectively.
