[Pediatric nephrology in developing countries].

Pediatric nephrology is not a priority medicine in developing countries, but it should improve along with the development of both preventive and curative simple measures since the mortality rate is still important. This can be applied to the management of urinary tract infection, acute nephritis and some other cases of acute renal failure. The identification and management of chronic kidney diseases is mainly based on blood pressure measurement, proteinuria screening and plasma creatinine assessment.
