    Abstract Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:Recently, the term renal angina (RA) has been described to straighten using biomarkers in at-risk patients who have a combination of illness severity/risk and even small changes in kidney function. RA is a valuable guideline to identify high risk patients and improve the positive predictive value of serum and urine biomarkers to predict early stages of AKI and its severity.

    Abstract Introduction: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) accounts for 20% of nephrotic syndromes among children as well as 75% of the steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of parental consanguinity on clinical course and outcome of FSGS in children.
    Methods: This historical cohort was carried out on 69 children affected by steroid resistant FSGS. Patients' data were recorded at the initial and the final analyses and response to therapeutic measures. Subjects were also questioned about the history of parental consanguinity.
    Results: Forty-four participants (63.8%) were male with a male to female proportion of 1.76:1. Mean baseline age was 5.69 ± 2.39 (range: 1 to 10). Fifty-one patients (73.9%) reported consanguinity. A more significant resistance to cyclosporine A and cyclophosphamide was observed in participants denoting parental consanguinity than those with no kinship. The average renal survival time obtained significantly lower among those reporting consanguinity compared to the others (8.33 vs. 10.44 years, P < .05). According to univariate analysis results, parental consanguinity was a risk factor for developing chronic kidney disease (HR = 4.56, 95% CI: 1.06 to 19.47; P < .05).
    Conclusion: Patients with FSGS plus parental consanguinity presented less renal survival time with more resistance to cures being more predisposed to the development of CKD.

    Abstract Background: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), defined by thrombotic events or obstetric complications in the presence of persistently high antiphospholipid antibodies, is characterized by a wide variety of clinical presentations and the effects of vascular occlusion can impact almost any organ system or tissue. Since adult-onset APS classification criteria are not well verified in pediatrics (where pregnancy-related problems are rare), estimating childhood prevalence is challenging. Stroke and pulmonary embolism are thromboembolic events occurring in children that can cause considerable long-term morbidity. Children with APS are more prone to recurrent thromboembolism than adults. Cutaneous symptoms are prominent and typically represent the first clue of APS. Although dermatologic findings are exceedingly heterogeneous, it is essential to consider which dermatological symptoms justify the investigation of antiphospholipid syndrome and the required further management.
    Case presentation: We describe a seven-year-old Iranian boy with retiform purpura and acral cutaneous ischemic lesions as the first clinical presentation of antiphospholipid syndrome in the setting of systemic lupus erythematous.
    Conclusion: APS in pediatrics, is associated with a variety of neurologic, dermatologic, and hematologic symptoms. Therefore, it is essential for pediatricians to be aware of the rare appearance of Catastrophic APS as an initial indication of APS.

    Abstract Hypertension is one of the most common diseases worldwide. For many decades, it was considered as a problem related to adult population; however, its incidence in children has also been increased in recent years. Although secondary causes of hypertension are more common in children, few studies have been published focusing on the growing epidemic rate of essential hypertension in children and adolescents. Considering the importance of essential hypertension and its cardiovascular consequences, we review briefly its epidemiology and risk factors in children.

    Abstract Introduction: The prevalence of congenital anomaly of kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) and related chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be increased in countries with higher rate of consanguineous marriage. Therefore, we evaluated the prevalence of CKD by biochemical and kidney ultrasound measurements in the firstgrade pupils.
    Methods: This cross -sectional study was carried on children aged 6 to 7 years. Urine analysis, serum creatinine, urine microalbumin to creatinine ratio and kidney ultrasound have been evaluated for participants.
    Results: 653 children were recruited to the study. Stage 1 and stage 2 systolic hypertension have been found in 6.5 and 1%, respectively. The percentage of stage 1 and stage 2 diastolic hypertension were 1.3 and 0.3%, respectively. Both weight Z-score and waist Z-score had positive correlation with systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Microalbuminuria (in 2.5%) did not have any correlation with the following factors: hypertension, body mass index, microscopic hematuria, glomerular filtration rate, kidney sonographic abnormalities or kidney parenchymal thickness and family history of kidney transplantation. GFR less than 90 mL/ min /1.73 m2 has been detected in 1.8% of the students. Only 1.7% had urine RBC more than 5 in each high-power field (hpf). Approximately 1.5% had anatomical abnormality of kidney and urinary tract (hydronephrosis or hydroureter).
    Conclusion: Considering the higher prevalence of elevated blood pressure and microalbuminuria in Iranian children, a CKD screening program based on evaluating microalbuminuria and blood pressure measurement is needed. However, irrespective of high prevalence of consanguineous marriage in Iran, using kidney ultrasound as a screening tool has not been recommended.  DOI: 10.52547/ijkd.7306.

    Abstract Today, ultrasound is one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools, the reasons being that it is non-invasive, reliable, widely available, and affordable. In this paper, we review the place of ultrasound in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with kidney diseases. We briefly discuss a wide range of kidney diseases for which ultrasound imaging is still performed as one of the initial steps of diagnosis. To achieve this, five following categories are addressed: congenital anomalies of the kidney; renal cystic diseases; renal infections; kidney stones; and kidney tumors. The sonographic findings of these diseases are discussed.
