Predictors of chronic kidney diseases and kidney failure in patients with CAKUT: a cohort study

Key Points

• Identify predictive risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure (KF) in children with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT).
• Longitudinal cohort study design
• Follow-up of children diagnosed with CAKUT
• Assessment of risk factors over time
• Identified several risk factors associated with CKD progression
• Early intervention on these risk factors can improve prognosis
• Findings suggest a potential for proactive management of renal disease
