    Abstract The rising incidence of urinary stone disease in children requires pediatric practitioners to keep abreast of management recommendations which are generally geared towards adults. Medical expulsive therapy (MET) is a non-surgical therapeutic option that can be trialed in patients who present with uncomplicated symptomatic ureteral stones. Seminal articles published and indexed in Medline on the topic of MET were extracted and reviewed. Studies suggest a potential benefit of alpha-blockade for the expulsion of distal ureteral stones that are >5 mm but ≤10 mm in adults and possibly >4 mm in children. Conversely, there does not seem to be any added benefit for MET in smaller stones (<5 mm) in which the spontaneous passage rate is high. Conclusions: The off-label use of these medications is one of the several barriers which contribute to the underutilization of MET in children. However, these may be a reasonable option in particular for older children and adolescents with the appropriate-sized stones.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Urinary stone disease (USD) is increasing in prevalence and recurrence is common. In pediatrics, most stones are composed primarily of calcium with the highest incidence observed in adolescents. Given the morbidity associated with USD, an in depth review of current management strategies is of paramount importance to highlight the data supporting the recommended treatments and the knowledge gaps which still exist.
    Recent findings: Several interventions for the management of recurrent calcium USD in children have been recommended based on primarily adult studies. These interventions include modification of diet and fluid intake in addition to the utilization of medications such as thiazide diuretics and citrates when supportive care is inadequate. Overall there is conflicting data in the adult literature which is further complicated by our attempts to extrapolate these data to children.
    Summary: Based on the currently available literature the management of USD in pediatrics should be individualized to each patient and focused on the particular metabolic risk factors that are identified during the course of their evaluation. Several interventions may be required or trialed in a particular patient to show an effect. Well designed trials to assess the efficacy of each intervention in the pediatric population are needed.

    Abstract Dent disease is an X-linked form of chronic kidney disease characterized by hypercalciuria, low molecular weight proteinuria, nephrocalcinosis, and proximal tubular dysfunction. Clinical presentation is highly variable. Male patients may present with early-onset rickets, recurrent nephrolithiasis, or insidiously with asymptomatic proteinuria or chronic kidney disease. Mutations in both the CLCN5 and OCRL1 genes have been associated with the Dent phenotype and are now classified as Dent-1 and Dent-2, respectively. This article describes the clinical presentation, laboratory evaluation, genetics, pathophysiology, management, and future therapies of Dent disease.

    Abstract Childhood urolithiasis is an evolving condition with an increasing incidence and prevalence over the last 2 decades. Over that time the underlying cause has shifted from predominantly infectious to metabolic in nature. This review describes the pathophysiology, underlying metabolic abnormalities, clinical presentation, evaluation, and management of childhood urolithiasis. A comprehensive metabolic evaluation is essential for all children with renal calculi, given the high rate of recurrence and the importance of excluding inherited progressive conditions.

    Abstract Background: Alport syndrome (AS) is a multisystem condition which can result in progressive kidney disease, hearing loss, and ocular changes. X-linked inheritance is observed in 85% of affected individuals. As a result, most prior studies have focused on males. Girls with AS can also be symptomatic although historically thought to have few clinical manifestations in childhood. The objective of the study was to describe the clinical presentation and course of females with AS.
    Methods: A single-center retrospective study of all young females with AS between January 1, 1987, and May 20, 2019. Subjects were identified using ICD-9/10 diagnosis codes for AS, familial hematuria, or nephritis. Clinical data were extracted by retrospective chart review.
    Results: Thirty-six female patients were included in the analysis. Mean age at presentation was 5.58 ± 3.0 years, and mean follow-up was 5.9 ± 3.9 years. Twenty-nine patients (80%) had a family history of AS. At end of the follow-up period, gross hematuria was observed in 15 patients (42%), 20 (56%) developed proteinuria, and 2 (6.7%) had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 90 ml/min/1.73m
    Conclusions: Known family histories of AS or gross hematuria were the most common reasons for the initial presentation in our cohort. Development of proteinuria, eGFR < 90 ml/min/1.73m

    Abstract The purpose of this review is to describe Streptococcus pneumoniae-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (P-HUS) with emphasis on new insights into the pathophysiology and management over the past 10 years. Even though awareness of this clinico-pathological entity has increased, it likely remains under-recognized. Recent observations indicate that although neuraminidase activity and exposure of the T-antigen are necessary for development of P-HUS, they are not sufficient; activation of the alternate pathway of complement may also contribute. It is unclear, however, whether or not eculizumab and/or plasmapheresis are of value.
