We are thrilled to welcome @DDD_Askenazi here at @IUDeptPeds @IUNeoFellowship to talk about dialysis and kidney disease in our smallest pediatric patients.

[KidNeoJC @KidNeoJC1]

Great to hear @MPSchuhMD taking about prematurity and nephron number as part of the @NIDDKgov Workshop on Congenital Kidney Disease

[David Askenazi MD, MSPH @DDD_Askenazi]

Wow! Fabulous talk on work in adolescents who had neonatal congenital heart disease by Jen Van Den Eyende published in JAHA this year! Congrats ⁦@adqi_p⁩ ⁦@NeonatalKidney⁩

[John D Mahan @MedEdMahan]

Can look forward to scintillating insights and practical learning via @NeonatalKidney appreciate and will look forward to hearing from @asouth_neph @atomic_kidney and rest of the team…… @ASPNeph @thePNRC @IPNA_PedNeph

[Andrew Michael South, MD, MS @asouth_neph]

Great lineup if I do say so myself! 😎

Be sure to attend this @NeonatalKidney virtual symposium! Honored to be a part 🙏

Join us for a virtual education symposium on neonatal nephrology on 20th October (12.30- 3.00pm Pacific/3.30-6.00pm Eastern). We will cover kidney development, acute kidney injury, neonatal dialysis, and neonatal conditions that affect kidney function. https://t.co/bYgym6CuUr

As the authors discuss, more extremely preterm infants are surviving to adulthood, and as this population grows we are gaining more understanding of the long-term renal consequences of being born premature

In our last few minutes before the end of the hour, we'd like to hear how this study may change or impact your practice as a current or future 👶Neonatologist or 🫘Nephrologist. Leave a comment below!

[KidNeoJC @KidNeoJC1]

It will be important that we continue to investigate the causes and risks of CKD in this growing population, as well as importance of close monitoring of premature kidney health through childhood and adolescence, and studies like this are helping us do just that!

T3⃣
Do you think the relatively good health of the study population played a role in the study findings? Perhaps those children who would have had more significant renal impairment as a result of prematurity were less likely to participate in a clinical trial?

#KidNeo

[KidNeoJC @KidNeoJC1]

T3⃣
The authors attribute the low rates of hypertension and lack of perturbations in biochemical markers of kidney-associated bone disease to the:
⭐️Small sample size, and
⭐️Overall health of the population included in the study

#KidNeo

[KidNeoJC @KidNeoJC1]

T3⃣ Of note, the study participants who were found to have reduced kidney function by mGFR and/or hypertension were referred for further evaluation

[KidNeoJC @KidNeoJC1]

@DDD_Askenazi Perhaps this is why the authors didn't highlight this finding - makes sense!
