A child with newly diagnosed kidney disease and his family: determination of early factors of disease progression and features of nephroprotection

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease and a decrease in its progression is a global health problem. However, the risk factors associated with the primary nosology of glomerular diseases of children have not been sufficiently studied.Purpose. To determine early risk factors for the progression of chronic kidney disease for more effective prevention of chronization of the process, based on the analysis of clinical and anamnestic data, the features of the manifestation of the primary developed glomerular pathology, and taking into account nosological forms.Material and methods. The experience of own clinical observations, retro- and prospective, related to the formation of chronic kidney disease of children with glomerular pathology is summarized. The study was conducted on the basis of the children’s uronephrological center of the Samara Regional Clinical Hospital named after V.D. Seredavin.Results. The universal risk factors are systematized: transferred critical conditions in the perinatal period with the development of acute kidney injury; prenatally established CAKUT syndrome; the presence of a genetic predisposition to kidney diseases, a complex of allergic diseases in the family; the carriage of persistent infections, hemolytic strains of streptococcus, social determinant, environmental conditions, etc. Specific early risk factors for disease progression, features of the onset of kidney pathology and biomarkers of progression that determine early kidney damage have been identified. The features of nephroprotection are formulated: interdisciplinarity with the inclusion of organizational, social components; operational communication with the outpatient link; the use of social networks for educational processes — the patient’s family, training of first-contact doctors.
