Predictors of renal anemia in children

We conducted a trail of risk factor of renal anemia development in children, based on data of State uronephrology center between 2006 and 2008. All the patients with confirmed chronic kidney disease (CKD) were included in our research. Predictor of renal anemia are: primary chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis secondary to systemic lupus erythema-tosus or with asymptomatic proteinuria and hematuria, chronic recurrent toxic-allergic tubu-lointerstinal nephritis; age from 4 to 7 years; identified coexistent pathology such as gynecol-ogy disease, including inflammatory, disease of gastrointestinal tract and hepatobiliar system. Factor of antirisk: mixed genesis wavelike chronic tubulointerstinal nephritis, chronic pyelone-fritis, especially primary and in stage of clinic-laboratory remission, male gender. Renal anemia development, especially on early stages of CKD, is not parallel to degradation of excretory function, estimated by glomerular filtration rate (GFR), but is greatly influenced by coexistent conditions. There is a correlation between renal anemia and clinical and laboratory manifesta-tions of CKD: hematuria, protenuria, abnormality identified during ultrasound, decrease in density of bone tissue, abnormality identified during urethrocystography. Based on the results of the analysis we have developed the monitoring algorithm for children with CKD depending on renal anemia risk level.
