Child Chronic Kidney Disease

Anemia is a common comorbidity in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This condition is associated with multiple adverse clinical consequences and its management is a core component of nephrology care. Increased morbidity and mortality, increased risk of cardiovascular disease and decreased quality of life have been associated with anemia of CKD in children. Although numerous complex factors interact in the development of this anemia, erythropoietin deficiency and iron dysregulation (including iron deficiency and iron-restricted erythropoiesis) are the primary causes.
