Hyung Eun Yim, Kee Hwan Yoo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2021;64(10):511-518.   Published online April 6, 2021
· Obesity is strongly associated with the development and progression of chronic kidney disease.
· Altered renal hemodynamics, metabolic effects, and lipid nephrotoxicity may play a key role in the development of obesity-related kidney disease.
· Children born to obese mothers are at increased risk of developing obesity and chronic kidney disease later in life.
· A multilevel approach is needed to prevent obesity and related chronic diseases.

Correlation between glomerular filtration rate and urinary N acetyl-beta-D glucosaminidase in children with persistent proteinuria in chronic glomerular disease
Jeong Deok Hong, In Seok Lim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2012;55(4):136-142.   Published online April 30, 2012
Purpose

Urinary excretion of N acetyl-beta-D glucosaminidase (NAG) and β2-microglobulin (β2-M) was increased in the presence of proximal tubular damage. Based on these urinary materials, we investigated the ability of expecting renal function in chronic glomerular diseases. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between glomerular filtration rate (GFR) urinary NAG, and urinary β2-M.

Methods

We evaluated 52 children with chronic kidney disease...

Complications of nephrotic syndrome
Se Jin Park, Jae Il Shin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2011;54(8):322-328.   Published online August 31, 2011

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is one of the most common glomerular diseases that affect children. Renal histology reveals the presence of minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) in more than 80% of these patients. Most patients with MCNS have favorable outcomes without complications. However, a few of these children have lesions of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, suffer from severe and prolonged proteinuria, and...

of microvilli, but also separated the intercellular gaps and linear ZO-1. PAN induced oxidative stresses in time and dose dependent manners and increases of intercellular permeability in anti-oxidants inhibitable manners. High concentration of PAN induced not only actin polymerization and disorganization, but also the conglomerulation and internal dislocation of α-actinin protein. The intensities of fluorescences of ZO-1 protein were diminished...
The Usefulness of Spot Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio in Evaluating Proteinuria in Children and the Correlation between 24-hour Urinary Protein Amount and Spot Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio
Seon Young Hong, Ji Young Kim, Woo Yeong Chung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(2):173-177.   Published online February 15, 2003
Purpose : Recently, different results about factors affecting accurate quantitation of 24-hr urinary protein(24UP) amount using spot urine protein/creatinine ratio(PCR) have been reported. The current study was designed to evaluate correlation between 24UP amounts and PCR in children, and the effect of 24UP amounts, age, sex, and glomerular filtration rate(GFR) on this correlation. Methods : Among 94 patients who visited the...
Clinical Study of the Correlation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and the Proteinuria of Henoch-Schönlein Nephritis and Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(2):240-246.   Published online February 15, 2002
Purpose : It is not clear that the development of glomerular injury and aggravation by tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α) is related to intrarenal or serum concentration of TNF-α. So, we studied the relationship between the concentration of TNF-α and aggravation of glomerular damage in the Henoch-Schönlein nephritis(HSN) and idiopathic nephrotic syndrome(INS). Methods : We collected the sera and urines of...
Renal Problems in Wilson Disease
Il Soo Ha, Jun Ho Lee, Yeon Ho Choe, Hae Il Cheong, Sei Won Yang, Young Yull Koh, Jeong Kee Seo, Yong Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(6):817-824.   Published online June 15, 1999
Purpose : Wilson disease is a hereditary metabolic disorder characterized by an accumulation of copper in tissues which sometimes results in renal problems. This study was performed to evaluate the prevalences of the renal problems in Wilson disease and related risk factors. Methods : In 31 patients with Wilson disease, we looked for renal problems by history taking, physical examination...
Analysis of Urinary Mass Screening for Elemantary, Junior and High School Children Over a 8-year Period in Seoul

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(10):1347-1359.   Published online October 15, 1997
Purpose : The urinary mass screening program for the detection of proteinuria had been performed for a school age population in the city of Seoul since 1981. However, systematic evaluation for this program had never been done. We, therefore, designed a systematic evaluation in corporation with the Seoul School Health Center for students with proteinuria identified in the mass screening to determine the prevalence...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(11):1571-1576.   Published online November 15, 1995
Multicystic dysplastic kidney is the most frequent cause of abdominal mass in the neonate. It is frequently associated with contralateral genitourinary tract abnormalities and the most common abnormality is vesicoureteral reflux. Renal artery aneurysm is very rare in the children. Furthermore the case associated with the renal artery aneurysm has not been reported yet. We experienced a case of the left...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(2):223-229.   Published online February 28, 1991
The present study was performed to define the prevalene of asymptomatic hematuria, proteinuria,and glucosuria. A total of 5011 primary school children in Chonju city were examined with test strip urinalysis during the period of one month from June to July 1989. Test strip (Hema-Combistix) was used in this examination. The results were as. follows: 1) Prevalence of hematuria, proteinuria and glucosuria were 0.8% (40 children), 0.78%...
