Central venous catheter–related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) are common in children receiving hemodialysis & cause significant morbidity & healthcare costs. Read this Original Article on use of 4% tetrasodium EDTA (KiteLock™) to prevent CRBSI. link.springer.com/article/10…

Steroid-sparing immunosuppression is used in 50% of children w/nephrotic syndrome, but rates & predictors of prolonged remission after cyclophosphamide & tacrolimus are uncertain. Read this Original Article for more. link.springer.com/article/10…

AKI affects a growing number of children and neonates and is associated with high morbidity, mortality, and health care expenditure. In this issue of JASN, Robinson et al. present the findings of a large cohort study on the long-term outcomes of AKI in hospitalized children who did not require acute KRT. In this editorial, @KidneyCathy and @emjsee argue that these findings confirm the poor long-term outcomes of AKI in hospitalized children who do not require acute KRT. bit.ly/JASN0508 @MCRI_for_kids @AU_RMH

Amazing to see a childhood nephrotic syndrome RCT in the #ASNKids24@ASNKidney⁩ late breaking trials session! So exciting to see RCTs starting to emerge to improve treatment for these children

Using population-based health administrative databases, study investigators found that 1/3 of children with posterior urethral valves develop major adverse kidney events (death, kidney failure, or CKD) by early adulthood, compared with 1% of the general childhood population. bit.ly/JASN0468

Children with posterior urethral valves are at long-term risk of CKD, kidney failure, and hypertension. One-third develop major adverse kidney events over median 16.6 year follow-up. Kidney health surveillance into adulthood with improved transition planning is needed!

I am thrilled to share our newest paper about long term outcomes in #PUV patients using @ICESOntario data, out today in @JASN_News! journals.lww.com/jasn/abstra… Thanks for the great collaboration @KidneyCal @about__juliane @TimVanMieghem @JoanaRosaP @ChanchlaniRahul @ArmandoJLorenzo

Using population health databases from Ontario, Canada, investigators found that children surviving AKI without acute KRT were at higher long-term risk of CKD, long-term KRT, hypertension, and subsequent AKI compared with hospitalized children without AKI bit.ly/JASN0445

Youth diagnosed with hypertension are at higher risk of long-term cardiovascular disease, justifying improving blood pressure follow-up and control strategies among hypertensive youth. #PAS2024 ja.ma/4cFRPls
