ABSTRACT Background Two earthquakes on 6 February 2023 destroyed 10 cities in Türkiye. We report our experience with pediatric victims during these catastrophes, a focus crush syndrome related–acute kidney injury (Crush-AKI) and death. Method Web-based software was prepared. Patient demographics, time under rubble (TUR), admission laboratory data, dialysis, overall outcomes were recorded. Results A total of 903 injured children (median age 11.62 years) evaluated. Mean TUR 13 h (interquartile...
Cyclophosphamide (CYC) is an inactive alkylating agent that transforms the alkyl radicals into other molecules and used in combination with systemic corticosteroids treatment of many childhood rheumatic diseases, such as lupus erythematosus (SLE), ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). In recent years, rituximab (RTX), a B-cell-targeting anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, has emerged new alternative modality over CYC for induction therapy childhood-onset diseases. Clinicians adopt different practices...
The aim of present study was to evaluate the indications, complications and outcomes acute peritoneal dialysis (APD) in neonates at a referral university hospital during previous 8 years.This retrospective analysis included total 52 newborn infants who underwent APD neonatal intensive care unit between January 2008 March 2016. Demographic, clinical, laboratory microbiological data were extracted from patients' medical files.The primary causes for requiring tubular necrosis (n = 36, 69.2%),...
Abstract Background To evaluate the clinical features of patients with multicystic dysplastic kidney ( MCDK ). Methods The medical files children diagnosed between January 2008 and November 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. demographic, clinical, laboratory radiological data evaluated. Results Of 128 enrolled in study, 82 (64.1%) male, 46 (35.9%) female P < 0.05). located on left right sides 66 (51.6%) 62 (48.4%), respectively > Antenatal diagnosis was present 64 (50%). mean age at...
Vitamin B 12 is one of the essential vitamins affecting various systems body.Vitamin deficiency in infants often produces haematological and neurological deficits including macrocyticanaemia, neurodevelopmental delay or regression, irritability, weakness, hypotonia, ataxia, apathy, tremor andseizures.In this article, we report case a six-month-old male patient diagnosed with West syndrome associated vitamin deficiency.Although had no evidence macrocytic anemia complete blood count, measured...
Thalassemia major patients have increased risk for thromboembolic complications because of the chronic hypercoagulable state. The question arising from this is whether are result genetic polymorphisms prothrombotic factors. Here, we studied factor V 1691 G-A (FVL), II polymorphism (G20210A), methyltetrahydrofolate reductase mutation (MTHFR, C677T), and endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) deletion their relationship with complications. We found significant decrements S a slight...
Amikacin (AK) is frequently used on the treatment of Gram-negative infections neonates, but its usage restricted because nephrotoxicity. In this study, neonatal rats, we aimed to investigate effects erythropoietin and vitamin E AK induced A total 35 newborn Wistar Albino rats were divided into four groups: (1) injected with saline (serum physiological was administered placebo controls), (2) (1200 mg/kg), (3) + (150 (4) (EPO) (300 IU/kg/day). renal tissue, levels significantly high in all...
Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is frequently used in pediatric patients with renal failure. Aim: In the present study, we evaluated indications and complications of PD patients' outcomes patients. Patients Methods: Medical records who underwent between 2012 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The divided into two groups as acute (APD) (Group 1) chronic (CPD) 2). If patient was diagnosed kidney injury (AKI), an APD catheter inserted, while a CPD inserted for stage 5 failure or those...
Thalassemia major (TM) is an important cause of severe anemia that necessitates regular blood transfusion to prevent the profound weakness and cardiac decompensation caused by anemia. However, iron overloading inevitable consequence prolonged therapy. In addition, extramedullary hematopoiesis hemosiderosis spleen, liver marrow enlargement. recent years role angiogenesis has been investigated in physiological pathological conditions. it known angiogenetic factors, especially vascular...
Background/aim: Hyperlactatemia is a common finding in critically ill patients and has significant prognostic implications. However, single lactate measurement not been correlated to mortality consistently. In this study, we aimed correlate the clinical efficacy of clearance for prediction pediatric intensive care unit patients. Materials methods: This retrospective observational study was performed with level >3 mmol/lt. Initial, 6th h, 24th h levels were recorded calculated using these...
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) in childhood may be associated with thromboembolic complications, mainly venous origin. However, arterial thrombosis also seen as a very rare and life-threatening complication. Herein, we described case of steroid-resistant NS who did not respond to full-dose steroid treatment for 8 weeks was complicated by neurological findings. The renal biopsy consistent focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. His cerebral magnetic resonance angiography showed the sudden termination M3...
Emphysematous cystitis (EC) and emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) are rare urinary tract infections. They have a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations; ranging from asymptomatic to septic shock at presentation. In children, EC EPN complications infections (UTIs). Their diagnosis is based on manifestations, laboratory results characteristic radiological findings gas within the collecting system, renal parenchyma and/or perinephric tissue. Computed tomography best option in EPN. Despite...
Purpose:We aimed to retrospectively compare the surgical and nonsurgical follow-up results of ureteropelvic junction obstruction without diuretic response.Methods: Twenty nine pediatric patients (10 Female (F), 19 Male (M); mean: 4.4 ± 3.96 years old, range: 0-15) response were subject this study.The renography, intravenous pyelography, voiding ultrasonography performed within one month compared with control and/or renography in 7.4 6.7 follow-up.Results: Among 11 (100%) had recovery.In...
Purpose:The aim of this study is to investigate possible reasons ureter visualization on Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy. Methods:The planar static renal scintigraphies pediatric patients (n=2290) who attended for any reason between January 2009 and May 2015 were analyzed retrospectively by the same nuclear medicine physician.In our analysis 15 (12 Male (M), 3 Female (F); 0-12, mean: 4 ± 3, 8 years old) included in due bilateral or unilateral Results:In visual assessment scintigraphies, there 7...
Hematuria is an important and common symptom of urinary system pathologies in children, careful evaluation required for its definitive diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to determine the demographic clinical characteristics etiological causes patients who applied our pediatric nephrology clinic with hematuria. record 434 were followed up macroscopic and/or microscopic hematuria evaluated retrospectively. Demographic data, findings, laboratory imaging examinations final diagnosis recorded....
