Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children occurs mostly due to congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract and hereditary diseases. For advanced cases, a multidisciplinary team is needed to manage nutritional requirements and complications such as hypertension, hyperphosphatemia, proteinuria, and anemia. Neurocognitive assessment and psychosocial support are essential. Maintenance dialysis in children with end-stage renal failure has become the standard of care in many parts of the world. Children younger than 12years have 95% survival after 3 years of dialysis initiation, whereas the survival rate for children aged 4years or younger is about 82% at one year."
