Central venous catheter–related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) are common in children receiving hemodialysis & cause significant morbidity & healthcare costs. Read this Original Article on use of 4% tetrasodium EDTA (KiteLock™) to prevent CRBSI.

Steroid-sparing immunosuppression is used in 50% of children w/nephrotic syndrome, but rates & predictors of prolonged remission after cyclophosphamide & tacrolimus are uncertain. Read this Original Article for more.

AKI affects a growing number of children and neonates and is associated with high morbidity, mortality, and health care expenditure. In this issue of JASN, Robinson et al. present the findings of a large cohort study on the long-term outcomes of AKI in hospitalized children who did not require acute KRT. In this editorial, @KidneyCathy and @emjsee argue that these findings confirm the poor long-term outcomes of AKI in hospitalized children who do not require acute KRT. https://t.co/Ch6cFtKvFk

Amazing to see a childhood nephrotic syndrome RCT in the #ASNKids24 @ASNKidney late breaking trials session! So exciting to see RCTs starting to emerge to improve treatment for these children
Come visit our posters today at #ASN2024#ASNKIDS24@ASNKidney.
PO-720: Comparative Effectiveness of Cyclophosphamide and Calcineurin Inhibitors in Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome
PO-386: Health Care Resource Utilization and Costs Associated with Childhood Hypertension
Using population-based health administrative databases, study investigators found that 1/3 of children with posterior urethral valves develop major adverse kidney events (death, kidney failure, or CKD) by early adulthood, compared with 1% of the general childhood population. https://t.co/OaWxl9B2yR
Children with posterior urethral valves are at long-term risk of CKD, kidney failure, and hypertension.
One-third develop major adverse kidney events over median 16.6 year follow-up.
Kidney health surveillance into adulthood with improved transition planning is needed!

Using population health databases from Ontario, Canada, investigators found that children surviving AKI without acute KRT were at higher long-term risk of CKD, long-term KRT, hypertension, and subsequent AKI compared with hospitalized children without AKI https://t.co/GyvRh3ZhhW
Youth diagnosed with hypertension are at higher risk of long-term cardiovascular disease, justifying improving blood pressure follow-up and control strategies among hypertensive youth. #PAS2024 https://t.co/6r84qZJAuH
