Introduction: In pediatric kidney patients, where clinical presentation is often not fully developed, and renal biopsy is too risky or inconclusive, it may be difficult to establish the underlying pathology. In cases such as these, genetic diagnosis may be used to guide treatment, prognosis, and counseling. Given the large number of genes involved in kidney disease, introducing next-generation sequencing with extended gene panels as part of the diagnostic algorithm presents a viable solution.

Article Synopsis
  • This study analyzed mineral metabolism in a large group of 1,237 pediatric renal transplant recipients from 10 European countries, highlighting that abnormal mineral levels are prevalent among these patients.
  • Key findings revealed that 25% experienced abnormal phosphorus levels, 30% had altered calcium levels, and 41% showed hyperparathyroidism, indicating significant mineral imbalances.
  • Importantly, higher levels of certain minerals were linked to a greater risk of graft failure, underscoring the need for close monitoring of mineral levels in pediatric transplant care.

Objective: In France, a preanaesthetic assessment (PAA) several days prior to hospital admission for a scheduled surgical or diagnostic procedure under anaesthesia, associated with a preanaesthetic visit (PAV) the day before, are compulsory. This study aimed at comparing the benefits of PAA with those of a PAV not preceded by a PAA.

Study Design: Prospective, controlled, randomized study.
