    Notes: Abstract Forty-five children with renal failure who were either being medically managed, receiving dialysis (hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) therapy or who had received successful kidney transplants were longitudinally examined on multiple neuropsychological measures. A variety of medical parameters was also obtained at each time of testing. The neuropsychological variables were correlated with the medical variables using the repeated measures regression analysis method. There were associations between levels of renal function, short-term memory and list learning. Other neuropsychological variables did not in general correlate with the medical parameters consistently for all ages at the time of initial testing. Verbal performance decreased with increasing duration of renal failure in 6- to 11-year-olds and immediate recall decreased with increasing percentile rank of systolic blood pressure in 16- to 18-year-olds.

    Growth in children following kidney transplantation (1990)
    Springer
    Pediatric nephrology 4 (1990), S. 335-339

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Growth was assessed in children following 128 separate kidney transplants using a generalized growth curve multivariate analysis. The height standard deviation score was the dependent variable. Time since transplant, prednisone dosage, and creatinine clearance were the independent variables. For the purposes of comparison patients were grouped according to sex, race, age at transplantation, initial allograft function, acute rejection episodes and the use of cyclosporin A. Patient's height standard deviation scores tended to increase negatively after transplantation. However, children who received transplants before their 7th birthday, with initial allograft function greater than 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, exhibited “catch-up” growth. Height standard deviation scores positively improved in males but not in females, as prednisone dosage was decreased. Height standard deviation scores became more negative as renal function decreased after transplantation. Changes in renal function produced the greatest effect upon height in black children, children less than 7 years, and males.

    Social support, family variables, and complicance in renal transplant children (1993)
    Springer
    Pediatric nephrology 7 (1993), S. 185-188 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-198X
    Keywords: Compliance ; Renal transplantation ; Family variables
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract The relationship between family functioning, social support, and medication compliance in 32 renal transplant children and their parents was examined. Results indicated that children whose fathers gave more emotional support or were more informative were less compliant with azathioprine and cyclosporine (P〈0.05 for both). Children from families experiencing numerous stresses were also found to be less compliant with azathioprine (P〈0.05). Finally, compared with older children, younger children were found to be less compliant with cyclosporine (P〈0.005). Implications for predicting child adherence and for future research relating to compliance with multidrug regimens are discussed.

    Nutritional management of children with chronic renal failure (1987)

    Notes: Abstract Current information on the adaptations to progressive loss of renal function is presented. The assessment of renal function in infants and children using serum creatinine concentration and its derivatives is considered as are various methods for assessment of growth. Children with creatinine clearances less than 50% of normal, who do not have uremic symptoms (and who are not on dialysis), should be ingesting diets providing close to 100% of the RDA for calories with 8% of the calories as protein. Recommendations for nutritional management of children on chronic peritoneal dialysis are also presented.

    Family behavior, adaptation, and treatment adherence of pediatric nephrology patients (1996)
    Springer
    Pediatric nephrology 10 (1996), S. 160-166 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-198X
    Keywords: Key words: Renal failure - Kidney transplantation - Adherence - Family behavior - Adaptive functioning - Maladaptive behavior

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract .In this exploratory study we investigated the relationships among family behavior variables (e.g., family expressiveness), adaptive functioning skills, maladaptive behavior, and adherence to treatment in pediatric renal failure patients. The study included 22 pediatric outpatients with renal failure who had not yet received dialysis or transplantation (RF) and their parents, and 12 pediatric outpatients with kidney transplants (TX) and their parents. For the RF patients, significant correlations were found between some of their adaptive functioning skills and measures of their medication adherence, diet adherence, and clinic appointment adherence; however, for the TX patients significant correlations were found only between some of their adaptive functioning skills and measures of their medication adherence. For the RF patients only, some measures of their family behavior were significantly correlated with measures of their medication adherence and diet adherence. Additionally, some measures of the RF patients’ family behavior were significantly related to their communication skills, socialization skills, overall adaptive functioning skills, and maladaptive behavior. For the TX patients, only their socialization skill level was significantly correlated with one measure of their family behavior. It is concluded that facilitation of adaptive and physical functioning among renal pediatric patients likely requires multidimensional training and/or counselling interventions with the children and their families, and that some of the content and/or emphasis of this training likely needs to differ for RF patients versus TX patients.

    A longitudinal study of the cognitive function of children with renal failure (1990)

    Notes: Abstract Fifty-six children with chronic renal failure who either received a kidney transplant, were hemodialyzed or peritoneally dialyzed, or who were being medically managed were given a series of neuropsychological tests every 6 months for a total of four testing sessions. Each child was matched by age, sex, and race to healthy children who received the same sequence of tests. The performance of each treatment group was compared with their controls longitudinally, using a repeated measure analysis of variance. In general, renal subjects performed at lower levels than their controls on tasks of verbal ability, visual perception, memory and visual motor skills. Visual motor performance was the most clinically affected. When compared with controls, the renal subjects did not improve as much or actually deteriorated on some measures of memory and learning skills.
