BACKGROUND: Hematuria is a common condition in clinical practice of pediatric patients. It is related to a wide spectrum of disorders and has high heterogeneity both clinically and genetically, which contributes to challenges of diagnosis and lead many pediatric patients with hematuria not to receive accurate diagnosis and early management. METHODS: In this single center study, 42 children with hematuria were included in Tianjin Children' Hospital between 2019 and 2020...

INTRODUCTION: Renal artery embolization has been used in a palliative fashion for symptomatic relief of hematuria or flank pain in unresectable renal cell carcinoma in adults. There is limited data on the use of embolization for actively bleeding and unresectable tumors in the oncological pediatric population. CASE DESCRIPTION: A previously healthy 5-year-old boy with no significant past medical or surgical history presented to the clinic with gradually worsening abdominal distension associated with occasional abdominal pain, gross hematuria, and lethargy for four months...

BACKGROUND: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerulonephritis worldwide. While studies have primarily focused on identifying risk factors for disease progression, very few data exist on the likelihood of achieving complete recovery from the disease. METHODS: We conducted a single-center retrospective study on all consecutive patients with biopsy-proven IgAN diagnosed between 1986 and 2018 in our pediatric center. Biopsies were classified according to the MEST-C Oxford classification score...

BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis affects approximately 230 million people worldwide. There is an increased incidence of schistosomiasis cases in France acquired from outside the country. This increases the risk of schistosomiasis outbreaks as observed in Corsica. Clinicians from non-endemic regions are not accustomed to diagnosing and managing this pathology. The objective of this study is to provide a better description of the clinical and paraclinical characteristics and disease evolution of affected children...

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a type of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia that rarely presents in the pediatric population. This life-threatening disorder manifests as severe consumptive thrombocytopenia and disseminated micro-thromboemboli, leading to organ ischemia. Here, we present a case of an acute first-time episode of acquired TTP in a 17-year-old African American female with a past medical history of obesity, recurrent urinary tract infections, and dysfunctional uterine bleeding managed with oral contraceptives...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors of the bladder (IMTB) are rare neoplasms that can occur in children. These tumors have uncertain malignant potential and can present similarly to bladder sarcomas. It is important to differentiate between IMTB and bladder sarcomas using a careful immunohistochemical approach. We report a case of IMTB in a 12-year-old girl who presented with presyncope and gross hematuria. IMTB was diagnosed through immunohistochemical analysis, and clinical improvement was observed after resection of the tumor...

We aimed to evaluate the clinical parameters, histopathological findings of nephrotic syndrome (NS) patients, and independent factors predicting steroid resistance in a single tertiary center. One hundred and sixty-two children (57 girls and 105 boys) with NS who were followed between 1998 and 2018 were analyzed in this retrospective cohort. The median (interquartile range; range) age and follow-up time were 4.9 (5.7; 0.1-16.8) and 5.5 (5.4; 0.1-20.3) years. A total of 82.7% of the patients were steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) and 17...

Renal oncocytoma is a benign renal neoplasm which has mostly been reported in adults. Occurrence in children is infrequent. To date, there are only six pediatric cases of renal oncocytoma reported previously. Herein, we report a 13-year-old girl presented with hematuria for a week. Abdominal computed tomography showed a well-defined heterogeneous solid mass with a stellate central scar in the left kidney. The patient underwent a nephron sparing surgery. Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings confirmed the diagnosis of renal oncocytoma...

Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney (MESTK) occurs almost exclusively in perimenopausal women while rarely in children. Only five pediatric patients have been described previously. Herein, we report a girl and a boy with MESTK, aged 3- and 4-years-old, respectively. The two patients presented with hematuria or an abdominal mass. Histologically, the tumors were both composed of epithelial and stromal elements. Immunohistochemical staining of tumor cells expressed epithelial and mesenchymal component markers...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to analyze organ system-based causes and non-organ system-based mechanisms of death (COD, MOD) in people with myelomeningocele (MMC), comparing urological to other COD. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of 16 institutions in Canada/United States of non-random convenience sample of people with MMC (born > = 1972) using non-parametric statistics. RESULTS: Of 293 deaths (89% shunted hydrocephalus), 12% occurred in infancy, 35% in childhood, and 53% in adulthood (documented COD: 74%)...

RATIONALE: Wilms' tumor (WT) is the most common pediatric kidney malignancy and is rarely found in adults. Nonspecific clinical symptoms and imaging features often lead to delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of adult WT, resulting in poor clinical outcomes. Ultrasound (US), as an efficient and noninvasive examination method, has been widely used in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, various US evidence is meaningful to improve understanding of adult WT characteristics in ultrasound...

BACKGROUND: We aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of glomerular and tubular renal dysfunction by means of urinalysis in infants and toddlers with congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV) and their association with cCMV disease, viruria and antiviral treatment. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was done using the Spanish Registry of Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection. First-morning urine samples were collected from January 2016 to December 2018 from patients <5 years old enrolled in Spanish Registry of Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection...

INTRODUCTION: Few studies in the literature describe the Retrograde Intra-Renal Surgery (RIRS) outcome in preschool children. We evaluated the feasibility, stone-free rate and complications of RIRS in preschool children at two European tertiary care centres of Pediatric Urology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The retrospective study includes all children undergone RIRS for stones <25 mm from 2017 to 2022. Patients were divided into Group 1 <5 years (G1) and Group 2 >5 years (G2)...

Although presentation of multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) in children is typically with fever and symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, rash, conjunctival injection, or shock, the spectrum of associated multisystem involvement is wide. Here, we present an account of patients with MIS-C that presented at a tertiary hospital in Navi Mumbai, India in the latter half of the pandemic from October 2020 to January 2021. We retrospectively studied the clinical features of 12 patients satisfying World Health Organization criteria for MIS-C...

BACKGROUND: Post infectious glomerulonephritis is the most common glomerulopathy in children, occurring several weeks after nephritogenic streptococcal throat or skin infection. Reports of acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) occurring during active bacterial pneumonia in children are rare. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of AGN concurrent with bacterial pneumonia in children. METHODS: We reviewed records of all children admitted with a diagnosis of pneumonia to the pediatric department in a single tertiary medical center between January 2015 and April 2023...
