PEARL – No question on the < 28 day old febrile infant
![Page 11: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hematuria
Case: Susan is an 8 year old noted on routine exam to have moderate hematuria on dipstick. She has an unremarkable past medical history. Family history is negative in the parents and siblings for any renal disease. History of hematuria is unknown. A repeat urine in one week is still positive and a urine culture showed no growth.
What is the next step? What would be a major consideration for a referral to a pediatric nephrologist?
![Page 12: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Repeat a first AM void following restricted activity , perform a microscopic on a fresh urine
• Check the family members• If there is still blood without protein, casts,
crystals, normal BP with or without a strong family history, no further work-up is generally required.
• Caveat - Family anxiety because of the connotation of blood and cancer in adults.
![Page 13: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Classification of Hematuria
• Microscopic (vast majority of the cases)– Transient– Persistent
• Macroscopic (urologic / renal disorders)– Transient– Persistent (> 2 weeks)
• Persistent microscopic/ Transient macroscopic– IgA or Berger’s; benign recurrent hematuria
![Page 14: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Glomerular v. Non-glomerular bleeding• Glomerular
– oliguria, edema, hypertension, proteinuria, anemia
• Non-glomerular
– dysuria, frequency, polyuria, pain or colic, hx exercise
– crystals on microscopic
– mass on exam
– medication history - sulfas, aspirin, diuretics
![Page 15: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Who should be worked up?• Presence of proteinuria and/or
hypertension
• History consistent with infectious history, HSP, systemic symptoms, medication use or abuse, strong family history of stones or renal disease/failure.
• Persistent gross hematuria
• Family anxiety - limit evaluation
![Page 16: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Initial evaluation of the patient with hematuria
• All patients: BUN, creatinine, CBC, kidney and bladder ultrasound
• Probable glomerular hematuria – C3, ASO titer– possible: hepatitis, HIV, SLE serology – renal biopsy
• Probable non-glomeurlar hematuria– urine culture, urine Ca/creatinine ratio– possible: hemoglobin electrophoresis,– coagulation studies, isotope scans,– Flat plate, CT, ??IVP, cystoscopy
![Page 17: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pearls for Hematuria
• Hematuria is an important sign of renal or bladder disease
• Proteinuria (as we will discuss) is the more important diagnostic and prognostic finding.
• Hematuria almost never is a cause of anemia• The vast majority of children with isolated
microscopic hematuria do not have a treatable or serious cause for the hematuria, and do not require an extensive evaluation. So a VCUG, cysto and biopsy are not indicated.
![Page 18: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
More Pearls
• Urethrorrhagia – boys with bloody spots in the underwear– Presentation – prepuberal ~ 10 yrs– It is painless– Almost 50% will resolve in 6 months and > 90% at 1
year; it may persist for 2 yrs– Treatment – watchful waiting in most cases
• Painful gross hematuria – usually infection, calculi, or urological problems; glomerular causes of hematuria are painless.
![Page 19: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
More Pearls – gross hematuria
• Gross hematuria is often a presentation of Wilms’ tumor
• All patients with gross hematuria require an imaging study.
• If a cause of gross hematuria is not evident by history, PE or preliminary studies, the differential is hypercalciuria, SS trait, or thin basement membrane disease.
• Cysto is rarely helpful
![Page 20: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
7 year old boy developed gross tea colored hematuria after a sore throat and upper respiratory infection. No urinary symptoms but urine output was decreased. He complained of mild diffuse lower abdominal pain. There is no fever, rash or joint complaints. Past med history was unremarkable but had intermittent headaches for two years.
On exam he was well with a BP of 95/65, no edema, some suprapubic tenderness and red tympanic membranes.The mother thinks that a similar episode occur on vacation a few months ago.

Tests
• Normal electrolytes
• Creatinine 0.5 mg/dl
• Urinalysis – large blood, no protein
• Urine culture – no growth
![Page 22: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
More to the story
• She calls with a recurrent episode of gross hematuria with a URI three months later
• So what do you do ?

Other tests
• ANA, ANCA, ASO, Family screening
• Complement – C3NF
![Page 24: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Now what
• IGA nephropathy– Boys > girls– Mostly normotensive, with persistent
microscopic hematuria– Chronic glomerulonephrits – up to 40% of
primary glomerulonephritis– Complement studies are nl, some inc IgA – Prognosis – not so good if > 10 yrs of age,
proteinuria, reduced GFR, hypertension and no macrohematuria

A four-year boy presents with a 5-day history of swollen eyes and “larger ankles”. On exam he has periorbital and pretibial edema. The most appropriate tests include all the following except.
• a. Urinalysis• b. Blood tests for total protein and albumin• c. Serum creatinine• d. Sedimentation rate• e. Serum complement (C3)
![Page 28: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
On routine physical examination, an 8-year-old boy is found to have microscopic hematuria. The first step in your evaluation should be.
• Examine the urine sediment• Order an intravenous pyelogram• Obtain a voiding cystourethrogram• Perform a CBC in the office• Order an ASO titer
![Page 29: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
An 8-year-old boy presents with tea colored urine. He has very mild edema. The work-up should include all the following except.
• Complement studies• Serum creatinine• Urinalysis for protein• Monitor blood pressure and urine output• Obtain an intravenous pyelogram and
VCUG
![Page 30: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Proteinuria
John is an 12 year old noted on a basketball team physical to have 2+ protein on dipstick. He has an unremarkable past medical history. Family history is negative in the parents and siblings for any renal disease. A repeat urine in one week in his PMD’s office is still positive.
What is the next step? Should you refer?
![Page 31: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Repeat a first AM void following restricted activity, perform a microscopic on a fresh urine; also an alkaline pH may give a false positive result
• If there is still protein perform a more formal orthostatic test. If orthostatic, no further work-up is generally required, although no indemnification from subsequent renal disease.
• Caveat - Family anxiety because of the connotation of protein and friends told them about kidney failure.
![Page 32: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Definitions (Pearl)
• Urine protein to creatinine ratio– Normal: < 0.2 (< 0.15 adolescents)– Mild to moderate: 0.2 to 1.0– Heavy or severe: > 1.0
• Persistent proteinuria: present both in the recumbent and the upright posture; even in this situation, proteinuira is less during recumbency
![Page 33: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Hypertension
Case: David is a 10 year old boy first noted to have an elevated blood pressure of 140/85 during a PE for headaches. Pt has a long history of learning and behavioral issues. Headache evaluation was normal (CT, sinus,etc.). Referred for evaluation. Initial evaluation noted a Ht / Wt > 99%tile, BP of 128/86 mmHg, normal ultrasound and renal scan, although a plasma renin of 8 ng/ml/min (nl < 2).
Do you perform an angiogram?

Definition of Hypertension The 4th Report on High Blood Pressure in Children and
Adolescents
• Hypertension—average SBP and/or DBP that is greater than or equal to the 95th percentile for sex, age, and height on 3 or more occasions.
• Prehypertension—average SBP or DBP levels that are greater than or equal to the 90th percentile, but less than the 95th percentile.– Adolescents with BP levels greater than or equal to 120/80
mmHg should be considered prehypertensive.

Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes
• Normal Encourage healthy diet, sleep, and physical activity.
• Prehypertension Recommend weight management counseling if overweight; introduce physical activity and diet management.
• Stage 1 hypertension Recommend weight management counseling if overweight; introduce physical activity and diet management.
• Stage 2 hypertension Recommend weight management counseling if overweight; introduce physical activity and diet management.

Indications for Treatment
• Symptomatic hypertension
• Secondary hypertension
• Hypertensive target-organ damage
• Diabetes (types 1 and 2)
• Persistent hypertension despite nonpharmacologic measures
![Page 41: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Pharmacologic Therapy for Childhood Hypertension
• The goal for antihypertensive treatment in children should be reduction of BP to <95th percentile, unless concurrent conditions are present. In that case, BP should be lowered to <90th percentile.
• Severe, symptomatic hypertension should be treated with intravenous antihypertensive drugs.

Bacteriology /Pathogenesis UTI - 1
• Most Common - E. Coli, coliforms
• Virulence Factors
• adherence to uroepithelium by P-fimbriae
• endotoxin release
• Pyelo vs cystitis - 80 to 20%

Bacteriology /Pathogenesis UTI 2
• Perineal / urethral factors– uncircumcised - 10-20x risk– ? Urethral caliber (infant girls)– other myths such as bubble bath, wiping
techniques
• Low Urinary factors– dysfunctional voiding ; constipation
• Other - indwelling catheters, congenital anomalies, Vesicoureteral reflux, sexual activity

Feld - 10/98 46
Diagnosis
• Leukocyte test and nitrate test
• Urine culture > 40-50,000 CFU/mL
• Pyuria - not on recurrent UTIs

Clinical Issues
• Lower tract - frequency, urgency, enuresis,
dysuria
• Upper tract - fever - nearly all in boys
under 1 year of age; females peak in first
year but still significant through the first
decade
• Asymptomatic bacteriuria - low risk

TREATMENT• Diuretics ?• Albumin & Lasix infusion• Prednisone 60 mg/m2/d x 4 weeks, then
40 mg/m2 every other day x 4 wk • Alternatives
– Cyclophosphamide 2-3 mg/kg/d x 8 weeks, not to exceed 200 mg/kg
– Chlorambucil– Cyclosporine

Requirements at a glanceNephrolithiasis
Presentation• Most patients present with abdominal, flank or pelvic
pain depending upon the location of the calculus. Referred pain may be localized to the scrotum, penis or female genitalia.
• Patients may have associated nausea and vomiting, gross hematuria, or symptoms of a urinary tract infection (urinary frequency, dysuria, etc.)
• Not all patient with urinary calculi have gross or microscopic hematuria
• 20% of patients with microscopic hematuria and hypercalciuria will develop a urinary calculus within five years.

Requirements at a glanceNephrolithiasis
Medical Evaluation• Family history is paramount as pediatric stones may be associated
with inherited disorders such as cystinuria, primary hyperoxaluria or renal tubular acidosis.
• Patient’s past medical history including low fluid intake, dietary exess or deficiencies may predispose to calcium oxalate stone formation.
• Patients with a history of hyperthyroidism, myeloproliferative disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, chronic urinary tract infections or immobilization may be at increased risk for stone formation.
• Infants with a history of furosamide (Lasix) use are at an increased risk for stones and nephrocalcinosis.
• Pediatric patients with a history of stones are at an increased risk for recurrent stone formation

Requirements at a glanceNephrolithiasis
Radiographic evaluation• CT scan without contrast is the most sensitive study for the
detection of urinary calculi.• KUB and renal ultrasound may be useful in specific situations.
Laboratory Evaluation• Urinalysis of a first morning void including pH, specific gravity and
present of bacteria are useful in the evaluation.• Measurement of serum electrolytes including sodium, potassium,
bicarbonate, chloride, uric acid, calcium, phosphorus and creatinine may provide useful information.
• A 24 hour urine analysis for volume, calcium, oxalate, citrate, uric acid, cystine, sodium, phosphate and creatinine. Measurements must be corrected to patient body mass.

Dehydration: Clinical
• Importance of clinical history – Feeding history (BF, formula error)– Other conditions (CF, CV disease)
• Features to assess: change in weight, altered VS, orthostatic changes. turgor/refill, fontanelle, tears
• No specific diagnostic laboratory test – only supportive
• Key feature is reversibility
![Page 78: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Dehydration: Laboratory
• Urine– S.G.– UNa, FENA, Uosm– Microscopic examination
• Blood– BUN, creatinine– Bicarbonate
![Page 79: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Dehydration: Therapy
• Emergent therapy– 10-20 ml/kg boluses– Isotonic solution– Repeat until any evidence of improvement
• Correction therapy – Isotonic over 24 hours– Ongoing losses: diarrhea, vomiting
• Maintenance therapy
![Page 80: Metropolitan New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May, 2008 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649db15503460f94a9f386/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Dehydration: Pearls
• Dehydration is reversible
• Dehydration is a misnomer and reflects loss of sodium not water
• Isotonic solutions are fluid of choice
• FENA is best test to assess severity of dehydration

Electrolyte disorders: DI
• Central
• Nephrogenic
• Risk of CNS disease– 1/12 (1/3 X ¼) of loss from ECF– Limited access to water– Altered thirst

Electrolyte disorders: DI
• Central– AVP replacement
• Nephrogenic– Adequate water intake– Low solute diet– Hydrochlorothiazide

Electrolytes: Pearls
There are three pure renal causes of FTT – azotemia, DI, and RTA
RTA causes hyperchloremic acidosis
Bartter’s and Gitelman’s differ in calcium excretion – high in former low in latter
