“…As in adults, cardiac valve calcification is also described in children on maintenance dialysis. 48 However, in a study of 40 young adults (mean age 23.6 years) who developed ESRD at mean age of 11.5 years, cIMT is similar to healthy controls and only 4 (10%) patients have evidence of coronary calcification. 45 The authors noticed this relatively low rate of cardiac calcification compared with other studies might be explained by a significantly lower amount of prescribed calcium-containing phosphate binders and vitamin D preparations in their patients.…”

More than a decade ago, cardiovascular disease (CVD) was recognized as a major cause of death in children with advanced CKD. This observation has sparked the publication of multiple studies assessing cardiovascular risk, mechanisms of disease, and early markers of CVD in this population. Similar to adults, children with CKD have an extremely high prevalence of traditional and uremia-related CVD risk factors. Early markers of cardiomyopathy, such as left ventricular hypertrophy and dysfunction, and early markers of atherosclerosis, such as increased carotid artery intima-media thickness, carotid arterial wall stiffness, and coronary artery calcification, are frequently present in these children, especially those on maintenance dialysis. As a population without preexisting symptomatic cardiac disease, children with CKD potentially receive significant benefit from aggressive attempts to prevent and treat CVD. Early CKD, before needing dialysis, is the optimal time to both identify modifiable risk factors and intervene in an effort to avert future CVD. Slowing the progression of CKD, avoiding long-term dialysis and, if possible, conducting preemptive transplantation may represent the best strategies to decrease the risk of premature cardiac disease and death in children with CKD.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality is a leading cause of death in adult chronic kidney disease (CKD), with exceptionally high rates in young adults, according to the Task Force on Cardiovascular Disease. Recent data indicate that cardiovascular complications are already present in children with CKD. This review summarizes the current literature on cardiac risk factors, mortality and morbidity in children with CKD.Keywords Chronic kidney disease . Children . Cardiovascular disease . ESRD Learning objectives: 1. To review recent data on the epidemiology of CVD in children with CKD 2. To understand the mechanisms of cardiovascular abnormalities in pediatric CKD 3. To review recent advances in the diagnosis and clinical presentation of cardiovascular complications in children with CKD 4. To outline current understanding in the strategies to prevent progression of CVD in children with CKD.
