KIDNEY DISEASES IN
CHILDREN
•The kidneys are the main organ of the urinary
system, which filters and cleanses the blood
from toxins, maintains its normal composition
and secretes hormones that regulate blood
pressure and the number of red blood cells in
the blood.
•In a newborn child, the kidneys are in an
immature state and begin to fully perform their
functions only by the age of two.
•During the period of growth and development
of the child, the load on the kidneys increases
•The kidneys ensure the constancy of the
chemical composition of the body. They
release excess metabolic products and excess
fluid, regulate a person's need for water and
chemicals, control blood pressure, stimulate
the formation of red blood cells, vitamin D.
•It should be noted that in children, as a
result, the anatomical and physiological
features of the organs of the urinary system
largely determine the nature of pathology
and the specifics of the clinical course of
diseases.
•In children, the kidneys are relatively larger
in volume and weight than in adults
•Kidney growth occurs mainly in the first
year of a child's life. In the process of
growth, the topography of the kidneys also
changes. Renal pelvises in newborns and
infants are relatively large, and their walls
are poorly developed.
•The ureter in children is relatively wider
and longer than in adults, has a convoluted
course, kinks.
•The bladder has a number of structural
features and undergoes a number of
significant changes during development, the
mucous membrane of the bladder is
relatively thick, but it is loose, well supplied

•Kidney diseases in children can be divided into
3 main groups:
• hereditary diseases
•congenital malformations
•acquired diseases

Function of the glomerulus
•The number of glomeruli is
1.5x106.
•120-180 liters of liquid are filtered
per day
•GFR = f (Vblood flow Sfiltration
Pfiltration)
•Intraglomerular blood flow
parameters are regulated by the
tone of afferent and efferent
arteries (blood flow and pressure),
mesangial cells (filtration rate)
•The tone of arterioles and
mesangial cells is regulated by
vasoactive substances synthesized
in the endothelium: nitric oxide,
prostacyclin, endothelin.
•Kidney diseases:
•congenital
•acquired

systema urinarium
. The urinary system (urinary
system) of a person is a
system of organs that form,
accumulate and secrete urine
in a person. It consists of a
pair of kidneys, two ureters, a
bladder and a urethra. An
analog in invertebrates is
nephridium
Symptoms of kidney disease in
children•lower back pain (acute or, conversely,
pulling)
•cloudy urine with particles of blood
(hematuria) can indicate chronic
pyelonephritis or urolithiasis
• increased temperature in combination with
other symptoms of kidney disease
•high blood pressure signs of facial swelling
in the lower back, and sexual organs
constant fatigue,
• lack of energy dry mouth, the constant
need to drink a sharp increase or decrease
•Acute glomerulonephritis
(post-streptococcal) occurs most often in
school-age children, naturally after a certain
period after a streptococcal infection of the
nasopharynx or respiratory tract.
•Much less often, nephritis occurs after an
infection of a different localization. The
interval after infection with beta-hemolytic
streptococcus group A may be 7-14 days.
•Symptoms are manifested by general
malaise, headache and weakness with the
gradual addition of pallor and slight
swelling of the skin with the predominant
localization of edema on the eyelids, the
back of the hands and feet.
•The color of urine may change, up to the
color of "meat slops", its amount
decreases somewhat. In urine tests,
erythrocytes are detected in large
numbers, the amount of protein,
leukocyte and erythrocyte cylinders
increases. Relatively rarely and as a sign
of a severe form of the disease, blood
pressure may rise and attacks of
•Acute glomerulonephritis
• (Acute glomerulonephritis
•— is a group of kidney diseases that
differ in their structure, treatment
approaches and causes, but all of them
primarily lead to damage to the renal
glomeruli.
• Glomeruli, or glomeruli, are bundles of
blood vessels with small pores through
which blood is filtered in the kidneys.
•Causes of acute glomerulonephritis
•Acute glomerulonephritis often occurs after
an infection caused by beta-hemolytic
streptococcus group A (BGSA).
•The following strains can lead to kidney
diseases: Such glomerulonephritis is called
acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis
(OPSHN) [
•The risk of developing OPSHN depends on
the localization of infection: after
pharyngitis, it occurs in 5-10% of cases,
after a skin infection, for example
streptoderma— in 25% of cases.
•Recently, OPGSN in developed countries is
Nephrologists note with concern an increase in the frequency of
kidney diseases in children. This is due to many factors:
environmental degradation, reduced immunity, and a decrease
in the quality of life
