Interleukin-2 Receptor as a Marker of Oxidative Stress in Paediatric Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease or Hypertension
Background/Objectives : Oxidative stress and systemic inflammation are significant contributors to the development and progression of cardiovascular disease, causing adverse effects on vascular health and atherosclerosis from an early age. Patients with established cardiovascular risk factors commonly exhibit markers indicating heightened oxidative stress and inflammation. Our study sought to assess the levels of interleukin-2 receptor, which cou…
Obesity and Body Composition in Relation to Liver and Kidney Ultrasound Elastography in Paediatric Patients with Either Hypertension or Chronic Kidney Disease
(1) Background: Ultrasound elastography is a novel ultrasound technique for evaluating tissue elasticity. One of the key factors influencing the measurement in children is excess weight. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of body composition, namely, fat mass, on liver and kidney ultrasound elastography in paediatric patients. (2) Methods: 114 participants, in whom bioimpedance, along with liver and kidney ultrasound elastography, were perfo…
Body Composition and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Paediatric Population
The aim of our study was to evaluate associations between body composition parameters and several clinical parameters. A total of 206 children and adolescents (120 male, 86 female) were prospectively included. Body impedance measurement was performed in all participants. During the hospital work-up, several clinical parameters such as anthropometric measurements and laboratory and ultrasound findings were obtained and correlated to body compositi…
Transition of Chronic Pediatric Nephrological Patients to Adult Care Excluding Patients on Renal Replacement Therapy with Literature Review
(1) Background: The transition of children with chronic kidney disease to adult care has become a well-handled issue. However, other patients with normal or mildly decreased renal function also requiring further management and transition are neglected. (2) Methods: A questionnaire was sent to patients with kidney pathology, aged 17 years and older.(3) Results: The patients were mostly high-school (55%) or college students (39%), living with their…
Development and Validation of a New Screening Tool with Non-Invasive Indicators for Assessment of Malnutrition Risk in Hospitalised Children
There is no evidence of the most effective nutritional screening tool for hospitalized children. The present study aimed to develop a quick, simple, and valid screening tool for identifying malnutrition risk of hospital admission with non-invasive indicators. A cross-sectional study was conducted. Children`s nutritional baseline using a questionnaire, subjective malnutritional risk, and Subjective Global Nutritional Assessment were assessed on ad…
Assessing 48 SNPs in Hypertensive Paediatric Patients and Young Adults with Review of Genetic Background of Essential Hypertension
Essential hypertension in paediatric patients and young adults is rising, mostly on account of obesity-related hypertension. Clinically, the difference between obese hypertensive and non-obese hypertensive individuals is evident; yet, the pathophysiology of essential and obesity-related hypertension is multifactorial, complex and not fully understood. The aim of our study was to obtain a comprehensive view of the clinical differences between obes…
