    Abstract Purpose of review: Synthesize the clinical, epidemiological, and preclinical evidence for antenatal programming of hypertension and critically appraise paradigms and paradoxes to improve translation.
    Recent findings: Clinical and epidemiological studies persistently demonstrate that antenatal factors contribute to programmed hypertension under the developmental origins of health and disease framework, including lower birth weight, preterm birth, and fetal growth restriction. Preclinical mechanisms include preeclampsia, maternal diabetes, maternal undernutrition, and antenatal corticosteroid exposure. However, clinical and epidemiological studies to date have largely failed to adequately identify, discuss, and mitigate many sources and types of bias in part due to heterogeneous study designs and incomplete adherence to scientific rigor. These limitations have led to incomplete and biased paradigms as well as persistent paradoxes that have significantly limited translation into clinical and population health interventions. Improved understanding of these paradigms and paradoxes will allow us to substantially move the field forward.

    Abstract Background: Urine sodium and potassium are used as surrogate markers for dietary consumption in adults with hypertension, but their role in youth with hypertension and their association with components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) are incompletely characterized. Some individuals with hypertension may have an abnormal RAAS response to dietary sodium and potassium intake, though this is incompletely described. Our objective was to investigate if plasma renin activity and serum aldosterone are associated with urine sodium and potassium in youth referred for hypertensive disorders.
    Methods: This pilot study was a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from 44 youth evaluated for hypertensive disorders in a Hypertension Clinic. We recorded urine sodium and potassium concentrations normalized to urine creatinine, plasma renin activity, and serum aldosterone and calculated the sodium/potassium (UNaK) and aldosterone/renin ratios. We used multivariable generalized linear models to estimate the associations of renin and aldosterone with urine sodium and potassium.
    Results: Our cohort was diverse (37% non-Hispanic Black, 14% Hispanic), 66% were male, and median age was 15.3 years; 77% had obesity and 9% had a secondary etiology. Aldosterone was associated inversely with urine sodium/creatinine (β: -0.34, 95% CI -0.62 to -0.06) and UNaK (β: -0.09, 95% CI -0.16 to -0.03), and adjusted for estimated glomerular filtration rate and serum potassium.
    Conclusions: Higher serum aldosterone levels, but not plasma renin activity, were associated with lower urine sodium/creatinine and UNaK at baseline in youth referred for hypertensive disorders. Further characterization of the RAAS could help define hypertension phenotypes and guide management. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as supplementary information.

    Abstract Background: Adolescents with certain health conditions requiring lifestyle management, such as diabetes mellitus, have higher disordered eating behavior (DEB) risk than the general adolescent population, but DEB is underdiagnosed and can lead to adverse health consequences. In youth with other conditions requiring lifestyle counseling such as hypertension (HTN), DEB prevalence and associated risk factors are unknown. We hypothesized that youth with HTN disorders would have higher DEB prevalence than the general adolescent population, and that obesity, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and less specialized lifestyle counseling would be associated with higher DEB risk.
    Methods: Prospective cross-sectional study of youth aged 11-18 years with HTN disorders. We excluded patients with diabetes mellitus, kidney failure or transplantation, or gastrostomy tube dependence. We collected data via surveys and electronic health record abstraction. We administered the validated SCOFF DEB screening questionnaire. We compared DEB prevalence using a one-sample z-test of proportions (p
    Results: Of 74 participants, 59% identified as male, 22% as Black or African American, and 36% as Hispanic or Latino; 58% had obesity and 26% had CKD. DEB prevalence was 28% (95% CI 18-39%, p < 0.001). CKD was associated with higher DEB prevalence (adjusted RR 2.17, 95% CL 1.09 to 4.32), but obesity and lifestyle counseling source were not.
    Conclusions: DEB prevalence is higher in youth with HTN disorders and comparable to other conditions requiring lifestyle counseling. Youth with HTN disorders may benefit from DEB screening. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Acute severe hypertension remains an uncommon but important source of morbidity and mortality in youth. However, there has been very little progress made in our understanding of how to best manage youth with acute severe hypertension to improve patient outcomes.
    Recent findings: Our understanding of what is acute severe hypertension is undergoing a philosophical change. Management of patients with acute severe hypertension is evolving towards more of a risk and outcomes-based approach.
    Summary: We should be intentional when we consider whether a patient has acute severe hypertension and if they are truly at an increased risk for life-threatening target organ injury. We should consider their specific risk factors to best interpret the risks and benefits of how best to treat a patient with acute severe hypertension, rather than relying on traditional approaches and conventional wisdom. We should always ask 'why' when we are pursuing a given management course. Future studies should clearly define the research questions they are investigating to best advance the field to ultimately improve patient outcomes.

    Abstract Aims: Investigate if kidney function markers predict posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in children.
    Materials and methods: In a case-control study of high-risk children with confirmed PRES (n = 35) compared to controls (n = 14), we recorded blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, serum albumin, hemoglobin concentrations, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and documentation of acute kidney injury (AKI). We applied multivariable regression models and determined receiver operating characteristic curves.
    Results: Mean age was 9.5 (SD 4.9) years, 51% were female, 29% had chronic kidney disease, 67% had nephrotoxic medication exposure, and 29% had AKI. A 1-mg/dL increase in BUN (adjusted OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.99 - 1.07) and AKI (adjusted OR 3.78, 0.68 - 21.13) were minimally, but not statistically significantly, associated with PRES. BUN = 21.6 mg/dL performed best but had low ability to predict PRES (area under the curve 0.664, 0.498 - 0.831), with 60.0% sensitivity, 71.4% specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of 84.0% and 41.7%, respectively.
    Conclusion: Kidney function may be a relatively more minor risk factor for PRES than previously believed. Further prospective studies with larger sample sizes and better kidney function assessments are warranted to evaluate the role of kidney function in the development of PRES.

    Abstract: ... ml/min/1.73 m: Conclusion: ANCS exposure was not associated with worse kidney function ...

    Abstract Objective: Investigate if antenatal corticosteroids (ANCS) are associated with worse kidney function in adolescence and if greater adiposity magnifies this association.
    Study design: Prospective cohort of 162 14-year-olds born preterm with very low birth weight (<1500 g). Outcomes were estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and first-morning urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). We used adjusted generalized linear models, stratified by waist-to-height ratio (WHR) ≥ 0.5.
    Results: Fifty-five percent had ANCS exposure and 31.3% had WHR ≥ 0.5. In adjusted analyses of the entire cohort, ANCS was not significantly associated with eGFR or UACR. However, the ANCS-eGFR association was greater in those with WHR ≥ 0.5 (β -16.8 ml/min/1.73 m
    Conclusion: ANCS exposure was not associated with worse kidney function in adolescence, though ANCS may be associated with lower eGFR if children develop obesity by adolescence.

    Abstract Objective: To determine whether greater duration of simultaneous exposure to antimicrobials with high nephrotoxicity risk combined with lower-risk antimicrobials (simultaneous exposure) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is associated with worse later kidney health in adolescents born preterm with very low birth weight (VLBW).
    Study design: Prospective cohort study of participants born preterm with VLBW (<1500 g) as singletons between January 1, 1992, and June 30, 1996. We defined simultaneous exposure as a high-risk antimicrobial, such as vancomycin, administered with a lower-risk antimicrobial on the same date in the NICU. Outcomes were serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and first-morning urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) at age 14 years. We fit multivariable linear regression models with days of simultaneous exposure and days of nonsimultaneous exposure as main effects, adjusting for gestational age, birth weight, and birth weight z-score.
    Results: Of the 147 out of 177 participants who had exposure data, 97% received simultaneous antimicrobials for mean duration 7.2 days (SD 5.6). No participant had eGFR <90 ml/min/1.73 m
    Conclusions: Despite frequent simultaneous exposure to high-risk combined with lower-risk nephrotoxic antimicrobials in the NICU, there were no clinically relevant associations with worse kidney health identified in adolescence. Although future studies are needed, these findings may provide reassurance in a population thought to be at increased risk of chronic kidney disease.
