Article Synopsis
- Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder causing tumors in various organs, including the kidneys, and this study aimed to evaluate a year of nephrological follow-up for children with TSC.
- Thirty children (average age of 7.57 years) with TSC were hospitalized, and tests included genetic analysis, blood pressure monitoring, and kidney imaging, revealing significant kidney lesions in 93.3% of the patients.
- Results showed various kidney abnormalities, including angiomyolipomas and cysts, with some children exhibiting hypertension, indicating the need for ongoing nephrological care for these patients.
