Background: Chronic kidney disease stage 5 (CKD 5) populations have peculiar risk for severe Covid-19 infection. Moreover; pediatric data are sparse and lacking. The aim of this study is to report our experience in CKD 5 children treated by hemodialysis (CKD 5D) and CKD 5 children after kidney transplantation (KTR) during one year of Covid-19 pandemic.

Materials And Methods: Transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) has been done for 80 children on regular hemodialysis and 40 with renal transplant.
Background: Oxidative stress may play a role in complications of hemodialysis patients as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and inflammation.
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the oxidative stress in hemodialysis pediatric patients through measurement of oxidative stress enzymes as paraoxanase activity (PON), arylesterase activity (ASA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and also non-enzymatic antioxidant vitamins as vitamins A, C and E levels.
Methods: The study included 50 hemodialysis pediatric patients with mean age 11.
Background: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have biological properties that may contribute to the mortality of children on hemodialysis (HD). This study examines the relationship of LMW fluorescence AGEs, oxidized LDL (ox-LDL), soluble receptor AGE (sRAGE) as markers of oxidative stress in children with end stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing HD.
Method: Thirty children with ESRD undergoing HD, and 30 healthy, age- and sex-matched children were included.
