The effect of serum biochemical parameters on clinical prognosis in children presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether diabetes mellitus has a high risk of diabetic ketoacidosis-related complications. Biochemical parameters affect the resolution time of diabetic ketoacidosis.

Methods: The present study is based on a retrospective evaluation of the records of patients who presented to the Pediatrics Clinic of Adiyaman University Hospital between January 1, 2017, and October 1, 2022, with a diagnosis ofdiabetic ketoacidosis.

Why is childhood urolithiasis increasing? Etiology, diagnosis and management: a single-center experience.

Background: Globally, urolithiasis is becoming more and more common among children. We aimed to determine the etiology, and the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in patients with urolithiasis.

Methods: This was a retrospective study which included all patients (aged 1 month-18 years) admitted to the pediatric nephrology clinic in Elazığ Fethi Sekin City Hospital with urolithiasis between November 2019 and 2021.

Vitamin D Insufficiency in Children with Chronic Neurological Diseases: Frequency and Causative Factors.

Objective: Vitamin D insufficiency/rickets is a metabolic bone disease that leads to insufficient mineralization of bone. Chronic neurological diseases, including cerebral palsy (CP), convulsive disorders, neural tube defects, myopathy, immobility, lack of sun exposure, inadequate nutrition, and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) can cause vitamin D insufficiency and osteopenia in children.

Materials & Methods: In this study, the authors searched the frequency and causative factors of vitamin D insufficiency in children with chronic neurological diseases such as CP, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, mental motor retardation, epilepsy, neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases, meningitis-encephalitis sequelae, neural tube defects, paralysis, and paresis.

Role of Transabdominal Ultrasonography in the Evaluation of Pediatric Patients With Daytime Wetting: A Single-Center Pilot Study.

Objectives: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a frequent cause of admission to pediatric nephrology outpatient clinics. The aim of this study was to determine whether anatomical changes in lower urinary tract structures (retrovesical angulation [RVA] and bladder neck position [BNP]) are associated with UI in pediatric patients with daytime-wetting in comparison to healthy children.

Methods: In this prospective study, patients with daytime UI diagnosed using the Dysfunctional Voiding Symptom Score of the International Children's Continence Society and 3-day-voiding/bowel diary were compared with an age- and sex-matched control group without incontinence.

Antenatal Bartter Syndrome Caused by a Novel Homozygous Mutation in .

Antenatal Bartter syndrome (BS) is an autosomal recessive hereditary renal tubular disorder caused by mutation in the () on chromosome 15q21.1. This syndrome is characterized by polyuria, hyponatremia, hypokalemic hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis, and hypercalciuria associated with increased urinary loss of electrolytes.
