Kidney disease can affect children in various ways, ranging from treatable disorders without long-term consequences to life-threatening conditions. Acute kidney disease develops suddenly, lasts a short time, and can be serious with long-lasting consequences or may go away completely once the underlying cause has been treated. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) does not go away with treatment and tends to get worse over time. CKD eventually leads to kidney failure, described as end-stage kidney disease or ESRD when treated with a kidney transplant or blood-filtering treatments called dialysis.

Children with CKD or kidney failure face many challenges, which can include

A negative self-image

relationship problems

behavior problems

learning problems

trouble concentrating

delayed language skills development

delayed motor skills development

Children with CKD may grow at a slower rate than their peers, and urinary incontinence—the loss of bladder control, which results in the accidental loss of urine—is common.

Causes Kidney disease in children can be caused by

birth defects

hereditary diseases

infection

nephrotic syndrome

systemic diseases

trauma

urine blockage or reflux

From birth to age 4, birth defects and hereditary diseases are the leading causes of kidney failure. Between ages 5 and 14, kidney failure is most commonly caused by hereditary diseases, nephrotic syndrome, and systemic diseases. Between ages 15 and 19, diseases that affect the glomeruli are the leading cause of kidney failure, and hereditary diseases become less common.

Symptoms The signs and symptoms in advanced chronic kidney disease may include the following:

Volume overload

Hyperkalemia

Metabolic acidosis

Hypertension

Anemia

Bone disease (termed osteodystrophy)

Cardiovascular disease

Anorexia, nausea, vomiting

Diagnosis

Dipstick test for albumin

Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio

Blood test

Imaging studies

Kidney biopsy

Treatment Treatment for kidney disease in children depends on the cause of the illness. A child may be referred to a pediatric nephrologist — a doctor who specializes in treating kidney diseases and kidney failure in children — for treatment. Children with a kidney disease that is causing high blood pressure may need to take medications to lower their blood pressure. Improving blood pressure can significantly slow the progression of kidney disease. The health care provider may prescribe

angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which help relax blood vessels and make it easier for the heart to pump blood

angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), which help relax blood vessels and make it easier for the heart to pump blood

diuretics, medications that increase urine output

Many children require two or more medications to control their blood pressure; other types of blood pressure medications may also be needed.As kidney function declines, children may need treatment for anemia and growth failure. Anemia is treated with a hormone called erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Children with growth failure may need to make dietary changes and take food supplements or growth hormone injections. Children with kidney disease that leads to kidney failure must receive treatment to replace the work the kidneys do. The two types of treatment are dialysis and transplantation.

Diet and Nutrition For children with CKD, learning about nutrition is vital because their diet can affect how well their kidneys work. Staying healthy with CKD requires paying close attention to the following elements of a diet:

Protein: Children with CKD should eat enough protein for growth while limiting high protein intake. Too much protein can put an extra burden on the kidneys and cause kidney function to decline faster. Protein needs increase when a child is on dialysis because the dialysis process removes protein from the child’s blood. The health care team recommends the amount of protein needed for the child. Foods with protein include

eggs

milk

cheese

chicken

fish

red meats

beans

yogurt

cottage cheese

Sodium: The amount of sodium children need depends on the stage of their kidney disease, their age, and sometimes other factors. The health care team may recommend limiting or adding sodium and salt to the diet. Foods high in sodium include

canned foods

some frozen foods

most processed foods

some snack foods, such as chips and crackers

Potassium: Potassium levels need to stay in the normal range for children with CKD, because too little or too much potassium can cause heart and muscle problems. Children may need to stay away from some fruits and vegetables or reduce the number of servings and portion sizes to make sure they do not take in too much potassium. The health care team recommends the amount of potassium a child needs. Low-potassium fruits and vegetables include

apples

cranberries

strawberries

blueberries

raspberries

pineapple

cabbage

boiled cauliflower

mustard greens

uncooked broccoli

High-potassium fruits and vegetables include

oranges

melons

apricots

bananas

potatoes

tomatoes

sweet potatoes

cooked spinach

cooked broccoli

Phosphorus: Children with CKD need to control the level of phosphorus in their blood because too much phosphorus pulls calcium from the bones, making them weaker and more likely to break. Too much phosphorus also can cause itchy skin and red eyes. As CKD progresses, a child may need to take a phosphate binder with meals to lower the concentration of phosphorus in the blood. Phosphorus is found in high-protein foods. Foods with low levels of phosphorus include

liquid nondairy creamer

green beans

popcorn

unprocessed meats from a butcher

lemon-lime soda

root beer

powdered iced tea and lemonade mixes

rice and corn cereals

egg white

sorbet

Fluids: Early in CKD, a child’s damaged kidneys may produce either too much or too little urine, which can lead to swelling or dehydration. As CKD progresses, children may need to limit fluid intake. The health care provider will tell the child and parents or guardians the goal for fluid intake.

Haemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS, is a kidney condition that happens when red blood cells are destroyed and block the kidneys’ filtering system. The damaged red blood cells clog the filtering system in the kidneys, which can lead to life-threatening kidney failure. If the kidneys stop functioning, a child can develop acute kidney injury. The sudden and temporary loss of kidney function. Haemolytic uremic syndrome is the most common cause of acute kidney injury in children. Red blood cells contain haemoglobin—an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red colour and carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.

 Symptoms:

Bloody diarrhoea

Decreased urination or blood     in the urine

Abdominal pain, vomiting and     occasionally fever

Pallor

Small, unexplained bruises     or bleeding from the nose and

Fatigue and irritating

Symptoms of haemolytic uremic syndrome in children:

A child with haemolytic uremic syndrome may develop signs and symptoms similar to those seen with gastroenteritis—an inflammation of the lining of the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine such as,

Vomiting

Bloody diarrhoea

Abdominal pain

Fever and chills

Headache

 Risk Factors:

The risk of developing HUS is highest for:

Children under 5 years of     age

People over 75

People with certain genetic     changes that make them more susceptible

 Complications:

HUS can cause life-threatening complications, including:

Kidney failure, which can be     sudden (acute) or develop over time (chronic)

High blood pressure

Stroke

Coma

Intestinal problems, such as     inflammatory colitis

Heart problems

Overactive Bladder

What is an Overactive Bladder (OAB)?

Overactive bladder

(OAB) is a urinary symptom, it is not a disease. The most common symptom is sudden, uncontrolled need or urges to urinate. Another symptom is frequent urination during day and night.

What are the symptoms of Overactive Bladder?

Leak urine or urinary incontinence, this means you feel a sudden urge to urinate, this is completely different than stress urinary inconsistency. In this case, urine leakage occurs during sneezing, coughing, laughing or doing other physical activities.

Urinary frequency

Wake up at night times to pass urine

What are the causes of Overactive Bladder?

A urinary tract infections (UTIs)

Idiopathic

Neurological disorders, such as stroke and multiple sclerosis

Diabetes

Abnormalities in the bladder, such as bladder stones, bladder cancer, GUTB

Enlarged prostate, previous operations to treat other forms of incontinence

Excess consumption of caffeine or alcohol

The decrease in cognitive function due to aging also makes difficult for your bladder to understand the signals it receives from your brain

Difficult to walk; lead to bladder urgency if you're unable to get to the bathroom quickly

Incomplete bladder emptying also leads to overactive bladder

Diagnosis for Overactive Bladder

Bladder Diary

The doctor will ask you to keep a Bladder Diary for a few days. With this, you will note how often you are going to the bathroom and how many times you leak urine. This will help Urologists learn more about your symptoms. It helps you track:

How much fluid you drink

How much you urinate

How often you have urgency feeling

How much urine you may leak

This information helps in treatment.

Other Tests for Overactive Bladder

Urine test: Sample of your urine is taken to test for infection or blood·     

Bladder scan: Ultrasound helps to find how much urine is still in the bladder after you go to the bathroom·        

Cystoscopy: To find bladder lesions.·        

Urodynamic study: If, regular treatment of OAB, not relieving symptoms.

Treatment for Overactive Bladder

Medications that relax bladder are helpful for relieving symptoms of overactive bladder and reducing times of urge incontinence. Drugs used for overactive bladder treatment: Anticholinergic & B3 – Agonists.

Alport Syndrome:

Alport syndrome is a genetic condition characterized by kidney disease, hearing loss, and eye abnormalities. People with Alport syndrome experience progressive loss of kidney function.

Causes Alport Syndrome is an inherited disease of the kidney. It is caused by genetic mutations that affect the type IV collagen family of proteins. Type IV collagen is a major part of important tissue structures called basement membranes that are present in all tissues including the kidney, inner ear, and eye.

Types of Alport Syndrome There are three genetic types:

X-linked Alport Syndrome (XLAS) is the most common; in these families affected males typically have more severe disease than affected females.

In autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome (ARAS) the severity of disease in affected males and females is similar.

There is also an autosomal dominant form (ADAS) which affects males and females with equal severity.

Signs and symptoms With all types of Alport syndrome the kidneys are affected. The tiny blood vessels in the glomeruli of the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter the wastes and extra fluid in your body. Many people with Alport syndrome also have hearing problems and abnormalities with their eyes.

Other signs and symptoms may include:

Blood in the urine (hematuria), the most common and earliest sign of Alport syndrome

Protein in the urine (proteinuria)

High blood pressure (hypertension)

Swelling in the legs, ankle, feet and around the eyes (called edema)

These signs and symptoms may differ, based on age, gender and inherited type of Alport syndrome. For example, hearing and vision problems tend to be more common in males than females and high blood pressure is usually found later in life.

Haematuria | Blood In Urine | Kidney Disease | AINU

Haematuria is the presence of blood in the urine. There are two types of haematuria

Gross haematuria: - Person can see blood in the urine

Microscopic haematuria: - Person cannot see blood in the urine, it can be seen by a microscope.

Causes The most common causes of haematuria include Infections in bladder, kidney, and prostate, vigorous exercise, menstruation, endometriosis, trauma Serious causes of haematuria include Bladder or kidney cancer, blood-clotting disorders, sickle cell disease, nephritic syndromes

Haematuria is most commonly seen in? The person who affects with an enlarged prostate, Urinary stones, strenuous exercise, bacterial or viral infection, and having a family history of kidney disease.

Symptom People with gross haematuria has a urine colour that looks like pink, red, or brown. A small amount of blood in the urine can change colour. Other symptoms of gross haematuria are blood clots in urine that can cause pain in the bladder or pain in the back. People with microscopic haematuria usually doesn't have any symptoms.

Treatment and Test Treatment depends on the nature of illness which has to be evaluated. To find how the blood passing of urine doctor might ask you for the urine sample this helps to find out how blood passing in urine due to kidney disease, infection or other problem. Health care professionals diagnose haematuria with a urine test called a urinalysis.

Avoid thirst & dehydration during warm months – CKD patients

As the temperatures begin to rise in accordance with the summer season, warm days can be a challenge particularly if you are a Chronic Kidney Disease patient who under go Dialysis has common fluid restrictions, which can cause to feel extra thirsty and dehydrated. Hence, Chronic Kidney Disease patients who must undergo Dialysis to maintain their lives should be very selective about the types and amounts of fluid they consume especially during these warm months of summer.

As most know, each Dialysis patient has a different allowance for daily fluid depending on physical activity level, body size and urine output. However, as a rule of thumb, the average Chronic Kidney Disease patient who conducts Dialysis is limited to approximately 32 to 50 fluid ounces per day.

Going over the recommended fluid allowance may lead to weight gain, increase in Blood Pressure, Edema (swelling) in the feet, ankles, wrists, face and around the eyes, abdominal bloating, shortness of breath due to fluid in the lungs, and heart problems – which can include a fast pulse, weakened heart muscles and an enlarged heart.

When it comes to hydrating, all beverages are not equal. For Chronic Kidney Disease patients who conduct Dialysis, water is probably the best bet to stay hydrated. It is suggested that drinks such as coffee, black tea and cocoa are very high in Purines which are toxins that must be diluted in large quantities of water to be flushed from the body. Hence, caffeinated, sweetened and alcoholic drinks carry chemicals or trigger chemical reactions that demand significant amounts of fluid to properly process and filter out of the body.

Therefore, while consumption of beverages such as coffee and tea is fine for most Dialysis patients, they should be extremely careful to limit the intake of such fluids since certain options may not appropriately hydrate them. When a Chronic Kidney Disease patient is thirsty and needs hydration relief they should stick primarily with water. Pick up the fruits like raspberries or vegetables like cucumbers to your water.

Of course Dialysis patients can improve hydration while limiting fluid intake by chewing ice or enjoying frozen fruits such as grapes. Still, patients should try to limit salt and if a Dialysis patient does exceed his or her fluid allowance, he or she may require an extra Dialysis Treatment Session to remove fluid buildup.
