Pediatric kidney transplantation is different from adult kidney transplantation
Min Hyun Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2018;61(7):205-209.   Published online July 15, 2018
Kidney transplantation (KT) is the gold standard for renal replacement therapy in pediatric patients with end-stage renal disease. Recently, it has been observed that the outcome of pediatric KT is nearly identical to that in adults owing to the development and application of a variety of immunosuppressants and newer surgical techniques. However, owing to several differences in characteristics between children...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2014;57(3):135-139.   Published online March 31, 2014
Purpose

Adult Korean patients on chronic dialysis have a 9-year survival rate of 50%, with cardiovascular problems being the most significant cause of death. The 2011 annual report of the North American Pediatric Renal Trials and Collaborative Studies group reported 3-year survival rates of 93.4% and relatively poorer survival in younger patients.

Clinical approach to quality of life in children with end-stage renal disease
Min Hyun Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2013;56(8):323-326.   Published online August 27, 2013

Quality of life in addition to various medical problems in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) should be objectively assessed to accomplish normal growth and development during childhood. However, unfortunately, studies of quality of life (QoL) in children with ESRD have been not popular yet and there are only fewer suitable assessment tools compared with adults. Recently, disease-specific modules to...

There have been several case reports of BS complicated by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Here, we have reported the case of a BS patient who developed FSGS and subsequent end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and provided...

Peritoneal dialysis is a preferred modality of replacement therapy in children and adolescents with end-stage renal disease waiting for kidney transplantation. Recent development of pediatric swan-neck catheters with cuffs, novel dialysis solutions, and cyclers for automated peritoneal dialysis enabled more flexible prescriptions of dialysis with less complication, and improved patients' activities as well as the dialysis adequacy. Principles and practical...

Although it is generally accepted that renal transplantation provides the optimal therapy for children with endstage renal disease (ESRD), there is still uncertainty regarding the most suitable form of dialysis for children awaiting transplantation or for chronic therapy in children in whom transplantation is either not possible or unsuccessful. The therapeutic results of chronic maintenance hemodialysis in children with ESRD have been unsatisfactory because...

Iron is an essential element which participates in a variety of vital processes as well as hemoglobin synthesis of human body. Its hemeostasis is unique in that it is regulated primarily by absorption and not by excretion. Since the capacity of excreted iron is very limited, its absorption from the intestine must be controlled so that tissue accumulations do not reach. In adult males,...
