Article Synopsis
- This study looked at kids who had a kidney abscess to see how often they had a problem called vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
- They found that about 41% of the kids had VUR, which is similar to kids who have kidney infections.
- The study suggests that doctors should think about using a special test called VCUG when kids have kidney abscesses or infections multiple times, especially if there are signs of kidney damage.
Article Synopsis
- A new variant of echovirus 11 has been identified as the cause of nine severe neonatal infections, primarily affecting male infants, with a notable occurrence among twins.
- The affected infants, aged 3-5 days at the time of illness, presented with severe sepsis and liver failure.
- This variant, discovered in France since April 2022, has led to an increase in fatal neonatal enterovirus infections compared to previous years, prompting calls for national and international health alerts.
Article Synopsis
- Renal arcuate vein thrombosis (RAVT) is a rare condition that can cause kidney problems in young adults, but we don’t fully understand how often it happens or why it occurs.
- Researchers looked at five young patients with RAVT found during kidney tests, and they noticed that four of them used a lot of pain medication called NSAIDs, which might be linked to the problem.
- They also found signs of a virus called SARS-CoV-2 in one patient’s kidney, suggesting that this virus could harm blood vessels in the kidneys, making the situation worse.
Background: A precise assessment of glomerular filtration rate is key to delineate the care of children with a solitary functioning kidney (SFK). Data regarding measured GFR (mGFR) in this population is restricted to a single study of 77 individuals, which suggested that a GFR estimation (eGFR) method based on creatinine and cystatin C (eGFR-CKiD2) performed better than Schwartz's equation (eGFR-Schwartz).
Methods: We measured GFR in 210 consecutive adolescents (7 to 22 years old) with an SFK referred to our institution between 2014 and 2019 and in 43 young candidates for kidney donation (18 to 25 years old).
