The complement cascade is an important part of the innate immune system. In addition to helping the body to eliminate pathogens, however, complement activation also contributes to the pathogenesis of a wide range of kidney diseases. Recent work has revealed that uncontrolled complement activation is the key driver of several rare kidney diseases in...

Little is known about health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adults after kidney failure during childhood. In this study, we analyzed HRQoL of adults after pediatric kidney failure in Switzerland and investigated socio-demographic and clinical factors associated with HRQoL. In this cohort study, we sent questionnaires to 143 eligible patients re...

Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at risk for neurocognitive deficits while simultaneously being at risk for chronic school absenteeism (≥ 18 school days per school year). Chronic school absenteeism compounds the negative impacts of CKD on academic achievement. In this study, we examined patient- and caregiver-reported factors associat...

The aim of the current PodoNet registry analysis was to evaluate the outcome of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in children who were not treated with intensified immunosuppression (IIS), focusing on the potential for spontaneous remission and the role of angiotensin blockade on proteinuria reduction. Ninety-five pediatric patients who d...
