Outline• Fluid and Electrolyte abnormalities
– Dehydration
• Renal– Hematuria– Proteinuria– Hypertension– Urinary tract infections– Glomerulonephritis
Case 14 mo old infant with 4-5 day history of fever (38.5oC), numerous watery diarrhea and decreased activity. Child refused to take breast milk or solid foods.Mother substituted non-carbonated soda (Coca-cola, etc ~550-700 mOsm/kg H2O & < 5 mEq/L Na.Over last 12 hrs few episodes of emesis and less wet diapers.
EXAM: lethargic, dry mucous membranes, no tears, sunken eyeballs & reduced skin turgor. BP 74/43 mmHg; Temp 38.5oC, RR 36 , HR175 beats WT 6 kg. Weight 7 days ago was 6.6 kg. There were no other significant findings.

Causes of SIADH
• Neurological conditions
• Pulmonary conditions
• Tumors
• Medications
Criteria• Hypotonic hyponatremia. • Inappropriate urine osmolality compared to
plasma osm. Patients with medical condition associated with occurrence of SIADH, a urine osmolality > maximal dilution (75-125 mosm/L) and low plasma osm is “inappropriate” to state of water balance.
• Absence of thyroid, adrenal, cardiac, or renal disease
• Absence of volume contraction• High urinary sodium concentration
Additional hints for SIADH
• Fluid balance even or positive• CVP > 6• Urine volume decreased• Uric acid decreased• BUN and Cr decreased• Urine Na > 20 mEq/L

Hypernatremia – SLOW and CLOSEKey points: look quiet then irritable on stimulation; may look
better than % of dehydration based on weight
Fluid selection: 5% dextrose + ¼ isotonic saline (~30-40 mEq/L of Na) + 20 mEq KCl /L (D5W with 1/2/ NS + KCl is also OK).
• 1st 24 hrs: 24 hrs of Maintenance + ½ deficit• 2nd 24 hrs: 24 hrs of Maintenance + ½ deficit• Close monitoring of serum sodium every 2-3 hours.
Some have suggested using a higher [sodium] – 0.45% isotonic saline or even isotonic saline to restore ECF volume then moving to a lower
• sodium containing solution to restore the water deficit. This approach may also reduce the possibility of dropping the serum sodium too quickly and preventing neurological problems.
Case 2
Susan an 8 yr old noted on routine exam to have moderate hematuria on dipstick.
Unremarkable past medical hx.
Family hx is negative in the parents and siblings for any renal disease. Hx of hematuria is unknown.
Repeat urine in 1 wk still positive, urine culture showed no growth.
Question 2: Which of the following test is the next step in the evaluation?
A. VCUG and urine culture

• BIG 31 Repeat a first AM void following restricted activity ,
perform a microscopic on a fresh urine
2 Check the family members
3 If there is still blood without protein, casts, crystals, normal BP with or without a strong family history, no further work-up is generally required. However a renal sonogram and urine calcium to creatinine ratio
More on Hematuria
Glomerular v. Non-glomerular bleeding
• Glomerular
– oliguria, edema, hypertension, proteinuria, anemia
• Non-glomerular – THINK LOWER TRACT
– dysuria, frequency, polyuria, pain or colic, hx exercise
– crystals on microscopic
– mass on exam
– medication history - sulfas, aspirin, diuretics
Initial evaluation of the patient with hematuria
• All patients: BUN, creatinine, kidney and bladder ultrasound, urine calcium to creatinine ratio
• Who should be worked up– Presence of proteinuria and/or hypertension , – History consistent with infectious history, HSP, systemic symptoms, medication
use or abuse, strong family history of stones or renal disease/failure. – Persistent gross hematuria– Family anxiety - limit evaluation
• Probable glomerular hematuria – C3, ASO titer– possible: hepatitis, HIV, SLE serology , SSD– renal biopsy – not for persistent microscopic without proteinuria, decreased renal
function, and/or hypertension• Probable non-glomerular hematuria
– urine culture, urine Ca/creatinine ratio– possible: hemoglobin electrophoresis,– coagulation studies, isotope scans,– Flat plate, CT, ??IVP, cystoscopy
Pearls for Hematuria
• Hematuria may be an important sign of renal or bladder disease
• Proteinuria (as we will discuss) is the more important diagnostic and prognostic finding.
• Hematuria almost never is a cause of anemia• The vast majority of children with isolated
microscopic hematuria do not have a treatable or serious cause for the hematuria, and do not require an extensive evaluation. So a VCUG, cysto and biopsy are not indicated.
More Pearls
• Urethrorrhagia – boys with bloody spots in the underwear– Presentation – prepuberal ~ 10 yrs– It is painless– Almost 50% will resolve in 6 months and > 90% at 1
year; it may persist for 2 yrs– Treatment – watchful waiting in most cases
• Painful gross hematuria – usually infection, calculi, or urological problems; glomerular causes of hematuria are painless.
More Pearls – gross hematuria
• Gross hematuria is often a presentation of Wilms’ tumor
• All patients with gross hematuria require an imaging study.
• If a cause of gross hematuria is not evident by history, PE or preliminary studies, the differential includes hypercalciuria or SS trait
• Cysto is rarely helpful
Case 37 yr old boy developed gross tea colored hematuria after a sore throat and URI. No urinary symptoms but urine output was decreased. Complained of mild diffuse lower abdominal pain. No fever, rash or joint complaints. Past med hx was unremarkable but had intermittent headaches 2 years ago.
EXAM
Afebrile, BP 95/65 mmHg, no edema, some suprapubic tenderness, red tympanic membranes. Mother thinks that a similar episode occur on vacation a few months ago.
Urinalysis - 20 RBCs/hpf, 5-10 WBCs, 100 mg/dL protein, rare cellular and hyaline casts. Serum creatinine is 0.8 mg/dL, C3 100 (normal).
.
Question 3: The most likely cause of the gross hematuria is:
A. Myoglobinuria
B. Urinary tract infection
C. Obstructive uropathy

IgA
• IGA nephropathy– Boys > girls– Mostly normotensive, with persistent
microscopic hematuria– Chronic glomerulonephrits – up to 40% of
primary glomerulonephritis– Complement studies are nl, some inc IgA – Prognosis – not so good if > 10 yrs of age,
proteinuria, reduced GFR, hypertension and no macrohematuria
Work of AGN1. UA, renal US, 24 hr urine protein/creatinine, spot urine
protein and creatinine ratio
2. Glomerulonephritis – hematuria + one of these four – proteinuria, oliguria, hypertension or abnl renal function active sediment (protein, RBCs, dysmorphic RBCs/or RBC casts),
300 mg - >1 gm/day proteinuria, HTN, + edema
3. Low complement GN: SLE, SBE, cryoglobulinemia, shunt nephritis; Isolated renal: post-infectious GN, MPGN
Normal complement GN:
Systemic: HSP, ANCA-associated (Wegener’s, PAN), Goodpasture’s syndrome, hypersensitivity vasculitis
Isolated renal: IgA nephropathy, anti-GBM disease, RPGN
Red or Tea colored/ Brown Urine
Fresh Centrifuged Urine Sample
Sediment Red withRed Cells
Supernatant Red withoutRed Cells
Hematuria
NOTE: If there is no red sediment, no RBCsand a clear supernatant, consider other causes such as urates, bile pigments,beets, porphyria, some medications, etc.
Hemoglobinuria*
Myoglobinuria
* Hemoglobinuria will havea red or pink hue to the serum
On routine physical examination, an 8-year-old boy is found to have microscopic hematuria. The first step in your evaluation should be.
A. Examine the urine sedimentB. Order an renal ultrasoundC. Obtain a voiding cystourethrogramD. Perform a CBC in the officeE. Order an ASO titer and C3
Question 4
An 8-year-old boy presents with tea colored urine. He has very mild edema. History of strep infection about 2 weeks ago. The work-up should include all the following except.
A. Complement studiesB. Serum creatinineC. Urinalysis for proteinD. Monitor blood pressure and urine outputE. Obtain a renal ultrasound
Question 5
Acute glomerulonephritis: clinical• May be clinically asymptomatic (? 90%)
with low C3 and hematuria• Usually within 3 weeks after strep infection
– mean about 10 days• Periorbital, peripheral edema• Hematuria - coke-colored, tea-colored,
reddish/brown• Nonspecific findings such as abdominal
pain, malaise, anorexia, headaches, pallor
Acute glomerulonephritis: DD• Acute Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis
(PSAGN) – most common• Acute Postinfectious or nonstreptococcal
postinfectious glomlerulonephritis (AIAGN)– Bacterial: endocarditis (low C3), shunt nephritis (low
C3), pneumococcal pneumonia, etc.– Viral: hepatitis B, infectious mononucleosis, varicella,
etc,– Parasites:
• Other: SLE (low C3), membranoproliferative GN (low C3), hyperthyroidism, HSP (nl C3)
Acute glomerulonephritis: evaluation/ treatment
• Evaluation– ASO, C3, C4– Renal function– Evaluation for hypertension and oliguria– Magnitude of proteinuria
• RX – supportive – Admission for hypertension, oliguria, impaired renal
function, nephrotic syndrome
• Prognosis: C3 normalizes by 12 weeks, hypertension and other abnormalities resolve by 2-3 months, hematuria may persist for 6-24 mo
Proteinuria
Case 6: John is an 12 year old noted on a basketball team physical to have 2+ protein on dipstick. There are no recent illnesses. He has an unremarkable past medical history and he is not taking any medications. Family history is negative in the parents and siblings for any renal disease.
Question 6: Which of the following is the best approach?
A. Obtain a 1st AM urine for protein

What is Orthostatic Proteinuria ?
Normal Orthostatic Recumbant
Erect
Threshold of DetectionProtein
Excretion
• Repeat a first AM void following restricted activity, perform a microscopic on a fresh urine; also an alkaline pH may give a false positive result
• If there is still protein perform a more formal orthostatic test. If orthostatic, no further work-up is generally required, although no indemnification from subsequent renal disease.
More on Proteinuria
Causes of Proteinuria
• Transient– fever, emotional stress, exercise, extreme cold,
abdominal surgery, CHF, infusion of epinephrine
• Orthostatic– Transient or fixed / reproducible
• Persistent– Glomerular disease: MCNS, FSGS, MPGN, MN– Systemic: SLE, HSP, SBE, Shunt infections– Interstitial: reflux nephropathy, AIN, hypoplasia,
hydronephrosis, PKD
A four-year boy presents with a 5-day history of swollen eyes and “larger ankles”. On exam he has periorbital and pretibial edema. The most appropriate tests include all the following except.
A. UrinalysisB. Blood tests for total protein and albuminC. Serum creatinineD. Sedimentation rateE. Serum complement (C3)
Question 7
Definitions (Pearl)
• Urine protein to creatinine ratio– Normal: < 0.2 (< 0.15 adolescents)– Mild to moderate: 0.2 to 1.0– Heavy or severe: > 1.0
• Persistent proteinuria: present both in the recumbent and the upright posture; even in this situation, proteinuira is less during recumbency
Nephrotic Syndrome• Primary Nephrotic Syndrome:
– Minimal change disease (~75%) – mean age 4 yrs• No hematuria, nl C3, no hypertension, nl creatinine
– Membranoproliferative GN (~ 5-10%)– FSGS (5-10%)– Proliferative GN, Mesangial proliferation – Membranous nephropathy
• Secondary Nephrotic Syndrome: – SLE, HSP, diabetes mellitus, HIV, vasculitis, malignancy
(lymphoma, leukemia), drugs (heroin, inteferon, lithium), infections (toxo, CMV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C)etc.
• Congenital/Infantile Nephrotic Syndrome:– Finnish-type congenital nephrotic syndrome,Denys-Drash
syndrome– Diffuse mesangial sclerosis, Nail-patella syndrome
Nephrotic Syndrome - RXCorticosteroid treatment • Induction therapy: Exclude active infection or other
contraindications prior to steroid therapy. – Oral prednisone- 60 mg/m2/d (~2 mg/kg/d) daily for 4 -6 wks. – Oral prednisone at 40 mg/m2 (or ~1.5 mg/kg) given as a
single dose on alternate days for 4 -6 wks.
• Relapse therapy - For infrequent relapses, – Prednisone 60 mg/m2/d (~2 mg/kg/d) as single AM dose
until proteinuria resolved for at least 3 -4 days. – Following remission of proteinuria, prednisone reduced to
40 mg/m2 (or ~1.5 mg/kg) given as a single AM dose on alternate days for 4 weeks. Prednisone may then be discontinued or a tapering regimen.
Frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome is steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome with 2 or more relapses within 6 mos or more than 3 relapses within a 12-mo period.
Hypertension
Hypertension
Question 8: David is a 10 year old boy first noted to have an elevated blood pressure of 123/85 during a annual physical examination. Pt has a long history of learning and behavioral issues. He has a previous history of headaches that were evaluated with a CT scan of the brain and sinuses. On following evaluation in one week, his BP is126/86 mmHg with a weight > 99%ile for age and a height at ~50th %ile.
Question 8: What is the most appropriate initial testing for this child?
A. Renal mag-3 flow scan
B. Electrolytes, BUN, Creatinine, Bicarbonate
C. Renal Sonogram with doppler
D. Urinary screening for drugs
E. 24 hour urine for catecholamines
BP ClassificationGrade of hypertension Definition Appropriate next step
“White-coat” hypertension BP levels >95th percentile in a physician's office or clinic, but normotensive outside a clinical setting
Readings may be obtained at home with appropriate family training or with the assistance of a school nurse, or with the use of ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM)
Normal < 90th %ile
Pre-hypertension >120/80 mm Hg should be considered pre-hypertensive or90-95%ile
Additional readings may be obtained at home with appropriate family training or with the assistance of a school nurse
Stage I hypertension 95th -99th %ile + 5 mmHg Organize a diagnostic evaluation in a non-urgent, phased approach
Stage II hypertension Average SBP or DBP that is >5 mm Hg higher than the 99th percentile
Organize a diagnostic evaluation over a short period of time in conjunction with pharmacological treatment
Hypertensive urgency and emergency
Average SBP or DBP that is >5 mm Hg higher than the 95th percentile, along with clinical signs or symptoms
Hospitalization and treatment to lower the blood pressure
Estimate of HypertensionEstimate without height adjustment1. If systolic BP equals or exceeds
100 + 2 times pt age in yrs
2. If diastolic BP equals or exceeds 70 + pt age in yrs
Estimate with height adjustment1. If systolic BP at 95th %tile for age and sex
Add 4 mmHg to the value at the 50th %tile
2. If diastolic BP at 95th %tile for heightAdd 2 mmHg to the value at the 50th %tile

plasma renin, lipid profile, echocardiogram, renal ultrasound with duplex doppler
Evaluation Phase 2 Selected studies based on magnitude of the hypertension and/
or other clinical /laboratory findings
Renal flow scan (MAG 3)CT Angiography (CTA)
MRA (may not provide adequate evaluation for peripheral renal vascular lesions)
Renal arteriography with renal vein samplingPlasma / urine catecholamines and/or steroid concentrations
Evaluation of Hypertension
Indications for Treatment
• Symptomatic hypertension
• Secondary hypertension
• Hypertensive target-organ damage
• Diabetes (types 1 and 2)
• Persistent hypertension despite nonpharmacologic measures
Pharmacologic Therapy for Childhood Hypertension
• The goal for antihypertensive treatment in children should be reduction of BP to <95th percentile, unless concurrent conditions are present. In that case, BP should be lowered to <90th percentile.
• Severe, symptomatic hypertension should be treated with intravenous antihypertensive drugs.
Urinary Tract Infections
53
Case 9
• A 4 mo old girl presents with low grade fever, mid-lower abdominal pain and nighttime-incontinence. She is not eating well. Prior visits she had normal blood pressure, urinalysis and excellent growth. Urinalysis shows hematuria, 30 mg/dL of protein, leukocyte esterase and positive nitrite. Urine culture is obtained.
Question 9: What is the most likely bacterial cause of her urinary tract infection?
A. Proteus mirabilis
B. E. coli
C. Coagulase positive Staphlococus
D. Alpha hemolytic Streptococcus
E. Klebsiella pneumoniae
55
Bacteriology /Pathogenesis UTI - 1
• Most Common - E. Coli, coliforms
• Virulence Factors
• adherence to uroepithelium by P-fimbriae
• endotoxin release
• Pyelo vs cystitis - 80 to 20%
56
Bacteriology /Pathogenesis UTI 2
• Perineal / urethral factors– uncircumcised - 10-20x risk– ? Urethral caliber (infant girls)– other myths such as bubble bath, wiping
techniques
• Low Urinary factors– dysfunctional voiding ; constipation
• Other - indwelling catheters, congenital anomalies, Vesicoureteral reflux, sexual activity
57
Diagnosis
• Leukocyte test and nitrite test
• Urine culture > 40-50,000 CFU/mL
• Pyuria - not on recurrent UTIs
58
Clinical Issues
• Lower tract - frequency, urgency, enuresis,
dysuria
• Upper tract - fever - nearly all in boys
under 1 year of age; females peak in first
year but still significant through the first
decade
• Asymptomatic bacteriuria - low risk
59
Radiological Evaluation
• Renal ultrasound - anatomy, size, location, echogenicity
• DMSA (2nd choice glucoheptanate - SGH) - cortical integrity, photopenic regions, differential function, abscess
• CT scan - abscess• VCUG – not the current standard for first
UTI; radionuclide for follow-up or siblings
• IVP - NO WAY
AAP Practice guidelines
• DX: Urinalysis with pyruria and culture with 50,000 col/ml single organism by SPA or cath
• Treat for 7-14 days• Ultrasound for all with febrile UTI• VCUG only with abnl Ultrasound, or other
findings to suggest atypical or complex issues• VCUG – after 2nd febrile UTI• No Abx prophylaxis unless VUR grade V
61
Grades of Reflux
62
Reflux Recommendations“the simple way”
• GRADES I - III Antibiotics
• GRADES IV - V Surgery
• Endoscopic approach is an option over open reimplantation
63
Treatment• Oral
– SMX-TMP, Amoxicillin/Clavulanate– Cefuroxime, cefprozil, cefixime, cefprodoxime
• Parenteral– Neoates: Ampicillin / Gentamicin– Older Children:
• Advanced level cephalosporin• Beta lactam + beta lactamase inhibitor• Aminoglycoside (+ ampicillin)
64
Case10: Case History
• A 12 mo old girl is diagnosed with the first febrile UTI. She is not eating well. UA shows pyuria and bacteria. Urine culture is obtained and shows > 50,000 colonies of E. Coli. Antibiotics are given.
Question 10: What is the most appropriate next step?
A. Perform a DMSA renal scan
B. Refer to urology for cystoscopy
C. Perform a renal sonogram
D. Perform urodynamics and flow studies
E. Repeat urine culture in 3 months
Glomerulonephritis / Acute renal failure
67
Case 11
• 3 year old boy was attending summer camp.• Five days later he presents with diarrhea,
abdominal pain and appear pale. • His mother finds out that there was cook out
at camp. • EXAM- child is pale & unable to void. LABS
WBC 26,000, hemoglobin 8 g/dL, platelets 98,000, Serum creatinine 1 mg/dL, BUN 54 mg/dL, urinalysis - large blood, 100 mg/dL of protein.
Question 11: What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Henoch Schoenlein Purpura
B. Post streptococcal glomerulonephritis
C. IgA nephropathy
D. Acute pyelonephritis
E. Hemolytic uremic syndrome
Clinical prodrome• Diarrhea prodrome 1-15 days• Abdominal pain – may be confused with
ulcerative colitis, appendicitis, rectal prolapse, intussusception
• Pallor• Irritability, restlessnes• Edema – after rehydration• Oliguria/anuria
HUS: Clinical manifestations
• Thrombocytopenia
• Hemolytic anemia
• Renal failure

• Hypertension
HUS: Differential diagnosis
• Other forms of acute Glomerulonephritis / renal failure
• Vasculitis
• Urosepsis
• Renal vein thrombosis
• Coagulopathy (DIC)
Conservative management
• Fluid restriction to <insensible losses plus urine output
• Foley catheter – limit to 24-48 hrs
• Blood transfusion / platelets (limit)
• Routine use of antibiotics controversial
• Diuretics
• Nutrition
Surgical Complications
• Toxic megacolon
• Rectal prolapse
• Colonic gangrene
• Intussusceptions
• Perforation
• Strictures
• Mimic appendicitis, IBD
BONUS A 6 year old boy presents with recurrent episodes of brownish urine that developed coincidental with URIs. His urinalysis during the episodes reveals red blood cell casts and small protein. His complement levels are normal. His hepatitis B screen is normal. The MOST likely diagnosis is:
1.Post Strep AGN
2.IgA nephropathy
3.Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
4.Membranous nephropathy
5.Wegener’s granulomatosis
SOME QUICKIES• Unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney – MOST COMMOM CAUSE
OF ABDOMINAL MASS IN NEWBORN
– ULTRASOUND AND VCUG to DETERMINE CONTRALATERAL DISEASE
• Polycystic Kidney Disease
– Autosomal recessive – bilateral enlarged kidneys with microcysts (Potter’s – pulmonary hypoplasia); overtime – liver fibrosis and failure
– Autosomal dominant – MOST COMMON INHERITED KIDNEY DISEASE; bilateral enlarged kidneys with MACROCYSTS; association with cerebral aneurysm
• Hydronephrosis
– Usually obstruction; Ultrasound may show enlarged kidney without hydroureter
• Posterior urethral valves – – MOST COMMON CAUSE of OBSTRUCTIVE UROPATHY IN MALES; remember poor
urinary stream and palpable bladder
• Vesicoureteral reflux– Grades from I to V; VCUG diagnoses REFLUX, Radionuclide
(DMSA) scans detect scars ; Surgery for grades IV to V (in general)• UTIs
– E. coli most common followed by Klebsiella, Proteus. Males over 1 also have E. Coli then Proteus, Staph
– Females > males; greater in uncircumcised; remember constipation may increase incidence of UTIs
– DX – culture, cath or mid stream; UA – positive nitrites and leukocytes
– 1st febrile UTI – ultrasound ; VUCG for girls with more than 2 UTI in 6 months; all males
• Hematuria– Rule out hemoglobin and myoglobin– Brown urine – glomerular – look for red cell casts– Lower tract – gross red (possible at end of stream), no casts,
possible clots– Rule out hypercalciuria – spot ratio– Common diseases
• IgA – gross hematuria with respiratory or GI illness• Post Strep AGN – follows throat or skin infection by 10-21 days,
Low C3 but recovers by 8-12 weeks, maybe increased ASO titer• HUS – E. coli – 0157:H7 – MOST COMMON CAUSE OF
ACUTE RENAL FAILURE; low platelet count and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (schistocytes; coombs negative)– cause undercooked meat or unpasteurized milk
• Proteinuria– Rule out Orthostatic Proteinuria; urine protein to creatinine ratio –
abnormal above 0.2 from AM specimen– Nephrotic syndrome – ratio greater than 2 or more the 40 mg/m2/hr
of protein• Minimal change – steroid responsive is MOST COMMON• Usually 2- 6 yrs with mean of 4 yrs; remember edema is
dependent - first eyes than later in day to the legs.• Treatment – prednisone – 60 mg/m2/day for 4-6 weeks followed
by alternate day steroids for 4-6 weeks.
• Tubular entities– Diabetes insipidus
• X linked or secondary to ADH resistance• Look for dilute urine in face of hypernatremia • Water deprivation test then give IV or intranasal vasopressin
– Renal tubular acidosis – normal anion gap – hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis
• Proximal or Type II – bicarbonate wasting– Failure to thrive– pH < 5.5– Serum bicarbonate usually less than 18– Remember FANCONI syndrome is RTA = glycosuria,
phosphaturia, and amino aciduria.– Treated with bicarbonate
– Distal or Type I – impaired distal acidification; pH > 5.5; may have hypokalemia and hypercalciuria
– Look for polyuria, vomiting, nephrolithiasis– Treated with bicarbonate – low dose compared to proximal
– Bartter syndrome• Hypochloremic metabolic ALKALOSIS; hypokalemia. • Look for polyuria, failure to thrive, low serum chloride and low
potassium– Kidney Stones
• Imaging of choice – spinal CT.• Most stones are radiopaque since they contain calcium. Non-
radiopaque are uric acid stones.• Cystinuria – increased urinary excretion of dibasic amino acids
• Acute kidney injury (failure)– Evaluation to determine – prerenal (perfusion);
renal (intrinsic) or post renal (obstruction)
• Chronic kidney disease– Key items – anemia, growth failure, renal
osteodystrophy– Options – dialysis and preferred renal
transplantation
For the Exam• High frequency sensorineural hearing loss, ocular and renal
disease – think Alport syndrome – most cases are X-linked• Neurofibromatosis – renal abnormality is renal artery stenosis
causing hypertension• Nail patella syndrome – nephrotic syndrome• Turner syndrome – Horseshoe kidney• Tuberous sclerosis – angiomyolioma and polycystic kidney,
hypertension• Congenital hepatic fibrosis – autosomal recessive polycystic
kidney disease• Multicystic dysplastic kidney – non-functioning renal tissue -
check contralateral kidney for abnormalities – may be associated with other conditions such a VATER, CHARGE,
• Mesoblastic nephroma – most common renal mass in neonates
For the Exam• Hematuria – rarely a cause of anemia; check complements, spot
urine calcium to creatinine ratio• Isolated microscopic hematuria does not require an extensive
medical and imaging evaluation.• Gross hematuria may be a tip for Wilms Tumor and require renal
imaging; – If suspect renal stone – spiral CT is best (sonogram and plain x-
ray may be first test in ED). If pt with a fever and a stone – think Proteus
– If sickle cell trait or disease need imaging test – ultrasound and possible IVP or CT. Could be papillary necrosis.
• Urethrorrhagia– painless hematuria in males– red blood spots on underwear
• Painful hematuria – stones, infections or other urological disease
For the Exam• First morning urine is best to assess concentrating ability,
exercise induced hematuria and orthostatic proteinuria• Normal urinary protein is < 0.2 (ratio), < 4 mg/m2/hr; nephrotic
> 40 mg/m2/hr or ratio > 2.• Fractional excretion of sodium - dehydration < 1; acute renal
injury > 2-3• Hypertension by age
– Newborn and infants – think umbilical catheter, artery or vein thrombosis, coarctation
– Preschool – think renal, renal artery stenosis or coarctation– School age – think renal renal artery stenosis, essential – Adolescence – think – essential, obesity, renal or drugs.
For the Exam• Renal Diseases
– Acute glomerulonephritis: Post strep, low C3 – hospitalization for hyperkalemia, fluid overload or hypertension. C3 resolves by 12 weeks.
– IgA – macroscopic or microscopic hematuria, normal C3
– HSP – normal C3 and platelet count are normal; skin - purpuric papules and may start on lower extremities or other parts of the body including ears, genitalia; GI – may precede rash; intussusception common; renal and joints (arthritis/arthralgias) – they can occur in any order; causes – infections, medications, vaccinations; REMEMBER DIFFENTIAL RENAL DIAGNOSIS includes Post StrepAND FOR PURPURA – Sepsis, Meningococcemia.
– Membranoproliferative – Low C3 and C4 in Type 1; only C3 low in Type 2 and 3. Differential is Lupus and Post Strep due to low C3. Treatment is alternate day corticosteroids
For the Exam
– Nephrotic Syndrome – minimal change; normal C3; steroid responsive in majority of cases; causes – idiopathic, drugs, allergies, tumors (Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin), infections. Infection potential while on corticosteroids, BEWARE NOT TO GIVE LIVE VIRAL VACCINES - see REDBOOK
– Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis – normal C3; usually a steroid unresponsive form of Nephrotic syndrome; usually idiopathic and an unremarkable (non-nephritic) urinary sediment (no red cell casts or white cells); can be inherited; usually older patients compared to Minimal change.
– Membranous Nephropathy – older age than minimal change, may be history of hepatitis, unremarkable (non-nephritic) urinary sediment (no red cell casts or white cells); forms of membranous can occur in LUPUS.
For the Exam
• HUS – associated with Shiga Toxin (old term is diarrheal or typical) or S. Pneumoniae infections; can be idiopathic or hereditary; Hemolytic anemia with fragmentation of RBCs, thrombocytopenia and acute kidney failure. Poor prognosis – older age, non-shiga toxin HUS which is often associated with complement mutations
For the Exam• Polycystic Kidney Disease
– Autosomal recessive – kidney and liver (congenital hepatic fibrosis) – think esophageal varices in later life. Potter’s facies, present in newborn period with large masses; maybe have oliguria, RDS. On ultrasound have increased echogenicity and loss of corticomedullary differentiation. DIFFERENTIAL includes Autosomal dominant, congenital nephrotic syndrome, glomerulocystic disease
– Autosomal dominant – chromosome 16 mutation, may present with hypertension, gross hematuria, or as an incidental finding on ultrasound. MAY have hepatic, pancreatic and genital organ involvement; mitral valve prolapse and cerebral aneurysm (family association).
• Prenatal ultrasound can detect hydronephrosis, renal agenesis, oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios, cystic kidney disease.
For the Exam
• Nocturnal enuresis– Recurrence of bed wetting after a period of
toilet training – obtain a UA to rule out UTI– Treatment options for primary enuresis
include• No intervention• There is progression resolution with age – about
15% each year during school age.• Alarm have good long term success• DDAVP is a consideration under special
circumstances

SCENARIOA 6 year boy is diagnosed as having ALL. He is started on chemotherapy and his white blood cell count drops precipitously. The child is discharged and the family is encouraged. However, after two days at home he spikes a temperature to 39 C. The parents contact the heme/ onc fellow who tells them to come to the hospital immediately.
On arrival to the ER, the child is a bit lethargic. His BP is 60/40.
What is the most important first step in the management of this child?What are the most useful diagnostic tests?What are the possible causes of his condition?How should his condition be treated?

• EKG
• CXRay
• Renal ultrasound
• Specific blood tests based on underlying condition
ARF: Management

ARF: Indications for Dialysis
• Refractory hyperkalemia
• Refractory hypertension
• Symptomatic ECF volume overload
• Symptomatic azotemia– Infection– Bleeding– CNS changes
ARF: Pearls
• Pre-renal azotemia and AGN are similar
• ATN and post-renal failure are similar
• Potassium kills first in ARF
SCENARIOA 6 year boy is seen at a routine physical examination. Although he has no specific complaints, his mother says he has been very listless and his appetite is very poor. He has not been playing well with his friends in play group. Although he is toilet trained he seems to be having more accidents during the night.
On examination, he looks a bit pale and tired. His height has fallen from the 50% at his last visit 18 months ago to 10%. His BP is 106/62 mm Hg.
What is the most important first step in the diagnosing this child’s problems?What are the likely causes his condition?How should his condition be treated?

• PUV• Prune Belly• Neurogenic bladder
CKD: Clinical manifestations• Growth failure
– Dependent on age of onset– Dependent on level of GFR
• UTIs– Pyelonephritis

SCENARIOA 15 year old girl comes to the clinic because she has not had her period for the last 8 months. She feels tired all the time at home school and is having a hard time concentrating in school.
She is not taking any medications except for occasional NSAIDs for headaches and some vitamins. Her parents are in good health.
On examination, her height and weight are normal. Her BP is 162/98 mm Hg. She is pale and has a mild amount of edema in both legs. She has no rash or arthritis.
What is the most important first step in diagnosing this adolescent’s problem?What are the most likely causes?How should her condition be treated?
CKD: Causes• Glomerular
– FSGS– HUS– SLE– Membranoproliferative MPGN)– Alport– IgA Nephropathy– Membranous nephropathy– NOT diabetic or hypertensive nephropathy
CKD: Clinical manifestations• Growth failure
– Dependent on age of onset
• Hypertension– Role of ECF volume and PRA
• Electrolyte abnormalities– Acute– Hyperkalemia
• Edema
• Signs of underlying disease
CKD: Diagnosis
• Low value of radiology tests
• Blood tests– C3, C4, CH50– ASLO– ANA, dsDNA, Ro, La, Sm– ANCA– Anti-GBM– Renal biopsy
CRF: Management
• Nutritional supplementations– CHO deficiency
• Protein restriction– Impact on growth– Effect in more advanced CKD
• BP control– Disease progression– ACEI/ARB
CRF: Management
• Interference with renin-angiotensin aldosterone axis– Safety of ACEI even with advanced CKD– Role of combined ACEI/ARB– Effect of aldosterone antagonists
• Safety issues– Hyperkalemia– Reduction in GFR
CRF: Management
• Endocrine treatments– rhGH
• Doubles growth velocity• Minimal risk of progression
– Erythropoietin• Nearly always effective• Antibody induced pure red cell aplasia
– Calcitriol• IV route• More selective agents
CRF: Pearls
• Chronic glomerular diseases have oliguria vs chronic tubular diseases which can have polyuria and sodium loss– Nocturia and enuresis may indicate CRF
• Severity of growth failure and neurocognitive deficits are inversely related to age of onset of CRF
CRF: More pearls
• Most important feature of nutritional support is to correct low caloric intake
• Medication doses need to be adjusted as GFR declines
• Almost no form of CRF is a contraindication to transplant
