Kidney Diseases in Children s1
A(K)
Acute to chronic
Short time to long life treatment
Ranging from treatable disorders without long-term consequences to life-
threatening conditions
Long term consequences:
• Negative self-image
• Relationship, behavior & learning problems
• Trouble concentrating
• Delayed language & motor skills development
Renal corpuscle blood filtering
Tubular reabsorption
Reclaiming substances from the filtrate (water, glucose, amino
acids, electrolytes) & returning them to the blood
Tubular secretion
Substances moved from peritubular capillary blood into
filtrate to eventually be excreted
Maintain electrolyte & acid-base homeostasis, removes
toxins from the blood that did not enter the filtrate via
filtration
Removal of metabolic wastes
Regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance
Regulation of acid-base balance
Maintenance of blood pressure
Regulation of erythropoiesis
Performing metabolic functions
Urine and active vitamin D
• Renal impairment
• Birth defects
• Hereditary diseases
• Infection
• Nephrotic syndrome (Glomerulonephritis)
• Systemic diseases
• Urine blockage or reflux
• Renal agenesis
Single kidney
• Renal dysplasia
In general they lives healthy, until…..
Dysfunction of one kidney
• Ectopic kidney
Unusual kidney position
Polycystic kidney disease
Many grapelike clusters of fluid-filled cysts abnormal sacs
both kidneys larger over time
Alport syndrome
Collagen mutation in glomerular scarring of kidneys
Good Pasture syndrome
Antibodies directed against certain epitopes of type IV collagen,
located within the alveolar basement membrane in the lung
& glomerular basement membrane in kidney
• Urinary tract infection
Infection that can affects the urinary system
• Hemolytic uremic syndrome
Eschericia coli toxins enter bloodstream destroy RBC & damage blood vessel lining
(including glomeruli)
• Post infection glomerulonephritis
The immune system identifying & destroying bacteria, viruses & other potentially harmful
foreign substances
Presence of extra antibodies circulate in blood & finally deposit in the glomeruli, the
kidneys can be damaged
Massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, dislypidemia
Biopsy results
Minimal change nephrotic syndrome
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
Membranous nephropathy
Autoregulation
Hormonal mechanism
Neural mechanism
