OBJECTIVE: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in childhood are considered a risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD), but this association is poorly verified. We wanted to determine the etiologic fraction of UTIs in childhood as a cause of CKD. METHODS: A systematic literature search on the association between childhood UTIs and CKD was conducted, and data for patients with CKD in the area of 1 tertiary care hospital were reviewed. RESULTS: In our literature search, we found no patients among the… Expand

Clinical characteristics of children with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract and predictive factors of chronic kidney disease.
TLDR
The diagnosis of PUV, proteinuria on the first admission, vesicoureteral reflux, and oligohydramnios were identified as independent predictors for CKD in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. Expand
Urinary Tract Infection in Children: An Update
TLDR
The 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics Urinary Tract Infection guideline addressed “areas for research” identifying multiple areas where evidence at the time of the publication was lacking, and discussed the evidence development in those identified areas. Expand
Urinary Tract Infection in Children: An Update
TLDR
The 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics Urinary Tract Infection guideline addressed "areas for research" identifying multiple areas where evidence at the time of the publication was lacking, and discussed the evidence development in those identified areas. Expand
Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract in Adolescents
TLDR
Care of children with chronic kidney disease due to congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract should be undertaken by a multidisciplinary team that includes both a pediatric urologist and pediatric nephrologist. Expand
Pyuria, urinary tract infection and renal outcome in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3–5
TLDR
It is concluded that CKD stage 3–5 patients with frequent pyuria or UTI episodes have increased risks of renal outcomes, and both groups were associated with clinical outcomes. Expand
Urinary tract infection in infants and children: Diagnosis and
TLDR
The diagnosis and management of infants and children >2 months of age with an acute UTI and no known underlying urinary tract pathology or risk factors for a neurogenic bladder is focused on. Expand
Clinical Guideline for Childhood Urinary Tract Infection (Second Revision)
To revise the clinical guideline for childhood urinary tract infections (UTIs) of the Korean Society of Pediatric Nephrology (2007), the recently updated guidelines and new data were reviewed. The… Expand
Childhood Urinary Tract Infections and Pregnancy-Related Complications in Adult Women
TLDR
UTIs in childhood without severe urinary tract abnormalities appear to have a minimal effect on kidney health in early adulthood, and childhood UTIs did not increase the risk of pregnancy-related complications in this controlled population-based study. Expand
Pediatric urinary tract infections: diagnosis and treatment
TLDR
The authors explore the current situation on diagnosis and treatment of childhood UTI in better understanding their pathogenesis and prevalence in different child populations, and discuss recently evaluated diagnostic tests and thenew management guidelines. Expand
Urinary Infection Recurrence and Its Related Factors in Urinary Tract Infection
TLDR
There was no difference regarding age, gender, dysfunctional elimination syndrome, and urine culture inChildren with recurrent UTI compared to those with first UTI, yet abnormal VCUG, kidney, and urinary tract ultrasonography were much more common in children with recurrentUTI. Expand

Urinary tract infections per se do not cause end-stage kidney disease
TLDR
The frequency with which urinary tract infection in the absence of concomitant underlying abnormalities caused end-stage renal disease (ESRD) was determined, with one child appearing to be the only 1 of 102 children who developed ESRD because of acquired renal injury in which UTIs were an important contributing factor. Expand
Girls prone to urinary infections followed into adulthood. Indices of renal disease
TLDR
Within this range of renal function, the level of albumin in urine did not predict the degree of renal scarring, and the renal function was well preserved and the incidence of hypertension low. Expand
Renal function 16 to 26 years after the first urinary tract infection in childhood.
TLDR
The GFR 2 decades after the first recognized UTI in childhood was well preserved, however, a significant reduction of individual renal GFR in the unilaterally scarred kidneys indicates that further follow-up is required. Expand
Chronic interstitial nephritis: etiologic factors.
TLDR
It is concluded that interstitial nephritis is a common form of chronic renal disease, is seldom idiopathic, rarely results from bacterial infection alone in adults, and frequently results from analgesic abuse in the United States. Expand
Diseases causing end-stage renal failure in New South Wales.
TLDR
Greater use of micturating cystography and cystoscopy and routine urine testing for salicylate are advocated for earlier diagnosis of the major causes of "pyelonephritis". Expand
Practice Parameter: The Diagnosis, Treatment, and Evaluation of the Initial Urinary Tract Infection in Febrile Infants and Young Children
TLDR
Eleven recommendations are proposed for the diagnosis, management, and follow-up evaluation of infants and young children with unexplained fever who are later found to have a diagnosed UTI. Expand
Childhood reflux and urinary infection: a follow-up of 10–41 years in 226 adults
TLDR
There is a need for early recognition and treatment of children with VUR and UTI to limit scar development and the adults with complications were those with extensive renal scarring and at least borderline hypertension in childhood. Expand
Development of hypertension and uraemia after pyelonephritis in childhood: 27 year follow up.
TLDR
Children with focal renal scarring due to pyelonephritis are at high risk of serious long term consequences during adolescence and pregnancy and it is essential that they are given adequate attention and care during adolescents and pregnancy. Expand

TLDR
Renal function was slightly lowered in more than half of the participants, except for the increased tendency for hypertension in subjects with scars, and long-term follow-up for all the patients with earlier VUR is emphasized. Expand
Epidemiology of symptomatic infections of the urinary tract in children.
TLDR
Although the findings may partly have been caused by changes in policies of admission to hospital, they suggest a decreasing trend in symptomatic urinary tract infections in childhood, which may be associated with changes in the care of infants. Expand
