This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in pediatric patients with metabolic diseases, specifically focusing on the impact of hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) on clinical parameters, toxin reduction, and long-term survival. This retrospective study included 10 pediatric patients (eight females and two males) treated at a pediatric nephrology department between 2020 and 2023. Patients diagnosed with metabolic disorders, including maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), and glycogen storage disease (GSD), underwent RRT.

- - The study investigated congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) in children, focusing on factors leading to the need for ureterorenal surgery by analyzing 651 cases for demographics, genetic mutations, and ultrasound findings.
- - Findings revealed that a significant proportion of patients had hydronephrosis (46.9%), and surgical intervention was linked to better outcomes in reducing hydronephrosis compared to those who did not undergo surgery.
- - Risk factors for genetic mutations included low neonatal birth weight, advanced maternal age, and abnormal postnatal ultrasounds, while antenatal hydronephrosis and postnatal urinary tract infections increased the likelihood of requiring surgical intervention.
