Article Synopsis
- The study, initiated by the Nephrology Committee of the Argentine Pediatrics Society in 1996, aimed to explore the development of children with chronic renal failure, including those under conservative treatment, dialysis, or transplant before 19 years old.
- A total of 710 patients were analyzed, revealing that the majority were on dialysis (57.6%), with a notable incidence of end-stage renal disease at 6.5 per million, primarily due to obstructive uropathy and reflux nephropathy.
- The findings indicated a high 1-year patient survival rate of 98.7% and graft survival of 96.4% for transplants, highlighting a need for further monitoring as the results do not cover the entire affected population
