Background/Objectives: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing worldwide, and this tendency also visible in pediatric patients. major clinical challenge to achieve a diagnosis as early possible, despite an overt course, especially the stages disease. Unfavorable external conditions may disturb proper treatment chronically ill patients delay time diagnosis. recent COVID-19 pandemia might have altered usual diagnostic pathways different comorbidities, CKD was probably one them. However, there are no data on newly diagnosed children during pandemia, so our aim approach problem. Methods: We analyzed medical records 154 with who were hospitalized Department Pediatric Nephrology prepandemic (years 2015–2019) vs. pandemic postpandemic (2020–2024) conditions, analyzing eGFR value stage at diagnosis, underlying diseases leading CKD, sex-related differences. Results: number both periods comparable. Children years 2020–2024 presented more often advanced CKD. trend towards share glomerulopathies, acute injury, unknown causes noticeable under conditions. Conclusions: could, owing reduced access primary healthcare disrupted routine check-ups, process diagnosing children.

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a notable complication of COVID-19 that difficult to diagnose and treat. This review summarizes the prevalence, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, management COVID-19-associated AKI (hereafter AKI). linked multisystem inflammatory syndrome presents symptoms similar those AKI, which increased morbidity death rates. The pathophysiological mechanisms include direct viral injury, cytokine storms, systemic effects on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. diagnostic assessment patients at risk for involves screening such as decreased urine output, fluid retention, fatigue. In contrast, biomarkers like serum creatinine blood urea nitrogen are used early detection. strategies avoiding nephrotoxic medications, other causes. Renal replacement therapy may be considered treatment option severe particularly in cases overload, or electrolyte imbalances cannot managed conservative treatments. Future research essential elucidate optimize criteria, develop targeted therapies AKI. A multidisciplinary approach focusing physical mental health crucial comprehensive patient care. Addressing these gaps will necessitate substantial funding support propel efforts improve outcomes.

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) and the need for Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) are critically important health concerns. This study analyzes global regional Internet search queries to understand public attention in AKI CRRT over time. Methods We used Google Trends™ analyze from January 2004 March 2024. The examined trends detailed insights United States, including state-by-state breakdowns. identified patterns, peaks of attention, temporal comparing variations across US top-ranking countries worldwide. Results Global peaked October 2022, with Portugal, Zambia, Spain showing highest attention. Within peak was February 2008. Tennessee, Pennsylvania, West Virginia were top states that paid AKI. Attention globally South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain have led CRRT. In April 2020. Virginia, Kentucky showed state-specific Conclusions reveals significant geographical online patterns CRRT, suggesting evolving these critical issues. knowledge can guide development targeted initiatives, enhance medical education efforts, help healthcare systems tailor their approach improving awareness outcomes diverse populations.
