Article Synopsis
- Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) is a rare childhood condition where cold temperatures trigger the breakdown of red blood cells, causing hemoglobin to leak into urine and potentially leading to kidney damage.
- A study was conducted analyzing the clinical and laboratory data of children diagnosed with PCH-related acute kidney injury at a pediatric hospital in Prague from 2016 to 2022, focusing on three specific cases that required renal replacement therapy.
- The findings emphasize the link between PCH and kidney disease, suggesting that regular testing of renal function and urine analysis is crucial for all children diagnosed with PCH.
