AI Article Synopsis
- * Conducted with 102 patients aged 0 to 18, the study found that glomerular diseases accounted for 56% of acute kidney injury (AKI) cases, with 8.6% transitioning to end-stage renal disease.
- * The results indicated that glomerular disease significantly increased the risk of progressing to chronic kidney disease (CKD), regardless of the patient's age, gender, or timing of dialysis initiation.
Article Abstract
Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine the common indications of acute intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) treatment in childhood and to assess the characteristics of the procedure, complications, and prognosis.
Methods: The study included 102 patients aged between 0 and 18 years, who had been acute dialysis indication and treated with IHD.
Results: In terms of acute kidney injury (AKI) etiology, glomerular diseases were prominent in 56% of the patients, and 8.6% of surviving patients progressed to end-stage renal disease. Regarding the cause of AKI, having the glomerular disease was determined to be directly associated (p = 0.01) with the risk of progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD) regardless of age, gender, onset time of renal replacement therapy.
Conclusion: Glomerular diseases were the most common in AKI etiology and were associated with the progression to CKD, independent of age, gender and the time of IHD onset in our study.
