The incidence of and risk factors for late presentation of childhood chronic kidney disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Background When detected early, inexpensive measures can slow chronic kidney disease progression to kidney failure which, for children, confers significant morbidity and impacts growth and development. Our objective was to determine the incidence of late presentation of childhood chronic kidney disease and its associated risk factors. Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and CINAHL, grey literature and registry websites for observational data describing children <2… Show more

“…But, in general late presentation is a global problem among children with chronic kidney disease, with higher incidence in low/middleincome countries. Children presenting late are older and more likely to have non-congenital kidney disease as in females (19).…”

“…The lack of public and policymakers' awareness of pediatric kidney diseases and the consequences of delays in diagnosis and adequate treatment are major contributors to alarming situations. For example, the rate of late presentation of pediatric CKD, defined as first presentation to pediatric nephrology care with kidney failure, is unacceptably high (> 40%), especially in low-and middle-income countries, reflecting the lack of timely diagnosis and referral to pediatric kidney care [31]. Another situation of long-term concern is the association of a history of clinically evident CKD, albeit mild, in childhood with a higher risk of kidney failure at a young age in adulthood, which further highlights the demand for better prevention and treatment by pediatric nephrologists [32].…”

“…In recent years, we have seen the atypical clinical picture of kidney disease in children, predominance of both chronic, latent forms, and manifest, aggressive, severe forms [2]. Doctors very often diagnose kidney diseases in children when they already develop irreversible changes and chronicity of the pathological process.…”
