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. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

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. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

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. bit.ly/JASN0508 @MCRI_for_kids @AU_RMH

How can simulation be used to improve the design adaptive clinical trials? Read our review article just published in @JASN_News to find out! Big thanks to co-authors @DrRulanParekh @douyang3 @efan75 @BrianCuthberts8 and Anna Heath. journals.lww.com/jasn/citation/…

Great to see our pediatric AKI long-term outcomes study highlighted in the Best of ASN Journals session at #ASNKids24 #ASN24 @ChanchlaniRahul

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

Excellent poster by Cal Robinson et al on a target trial emulation of cyclophosphamide vs CNIs in #nephroticsyndrome ! #ASNKids24 @ASPNeph @ASNKidney

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. bit.ly/JASN0468

Long-Term Kidney Outcomes in Children with Posterior Urethral Valves #PUV @JASN_News ow.ly/Pqz450T4EnC

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 bit.ly/JASN0445

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 ja.ma/4cFRPls
