“…Weight was measured using the standard methods as recommended by Lohman. [ 9 ] The error due to heavy clothing and shoes in calculating the weight of patients was calculated. Height was calculated to the nearest 0.1 cm using commercial stadiometers available in the market (Leicester Height Measure, Invicta Plastics Ltd., UK).…”

“…Furthermore, a dramatic decrease in the number of nephrons is associated with the development of hypertension and progressive renal failure, known as the Brenner-Barker hypothesis. [ 9 ] Therefore, a better understanding of the late effects of WT disease is essential to increase patient survival and quality of life. Evaluation of late complications of tumors in children, such as risk factors and prevalence, are important topics for risk management and selecting appropriate treatment strategies.…”

Background: Renal insufficiency is one of the inevitable complications in patients with Wilms tumor (WT). The purpose of this study was to assess the renal function in children with WT at baseline and every 3 months to 2 years. Materials and Methods: In a descriptive-analytical study from 2018 to 2020, 48 children with WT were included in the study. Urine creatinine (U Cr ), serum calcium (S Cr ), blood pressure (BP), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and urinary protein (U Pro ) were evaluated at baseline and every 3 months during the study. Spot U Ca /U Cr and spot U Pro /U Cr ratio were calculated. Kidney ultrasonography was used in all patients. Independent Sample t -test and Chi-square tests were utilized to compare age and sex, respectively. Results: The mean age of patients at follow-up was 7.3 years. There was no significant difference in mean U Cr , S Cr , eGFR, 24-h U Pro , U Ca /U Cr ratio, and spot U Pro /U Cr ratio at baseline and end of study ( P baseline > 0.05, P end of study > 0.05). Analysis of kidney size showed a statistical association with tumor stage ( P < 0.05). Comparison of the kidney size in patients showed that there is a statistically significant difference ( P < 0.0001) at baseline and end of the study. Conclusion: This study showed that as WT progressed, the size of the kidneys increases without any renal insufficiency. Therefore, it seems that urinalysis of patients with WT along with sonography is necessary to determine renal insufficiency and the use of ultrasound alone to determine kidney insufficiency is not recommended.
