    Abstract In the current issue of Kidney International, Sinha et al. present data from an open-label, noninferior, randomized controlled trial comparing 12-months of alternate-day prednisolone, given daily during infection, versus levamisole, in children with frequently relapsing or steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome. This study suggests that both of these strategies are efficacious and safe. Results of this study should redefine the role of levamisole in future guidelines, and a call for global availability of levamisole should be advocated.

    Abstract Hemolytic uremic syndrome is characterized by a triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney failure. Most cases are caused by Shiga-toxin-producing bacteria, especially Escherichia coli. Transmission occurs through ground beef and unpasteurized milk. STEC-HUS is the main cause of acute renal failure in children. Management remains supportive. Immediate outcome is most often. Atypical HUS represents about 5% of cases, has a relapsing course with more than half of the patients progressing to end-stage kidney failure. Most cases are due to variants in complement regulators of the alternative pathway. Complement inhibitors, such as eculizumab, have considerably improved the prognosis.

    Abstract Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 is a rare genetic disorder caused by bi-allelic pathogenic variants in the AGXT gene leading to an overproduction of oxalate which accumulates in the kidneys in the form of calcium oxalate crystals. Thus, patients may present with recurrent nephrocalcinosis and lithiasis, with progressive impairment of the  renal function and eventually kidney failure.  There is no specific treatment besides liver-kidney transplantation, and pre-transplantation management by 24 h-hyperhydration, crystallisation inhibitors and high-dose pyridoxine has a high negative impact on quality of life, especially because of the discomfort due to nocturnal hyperhydration. Since 2020, lumasiran, an RNA-interfering therapy, has been approved for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 in adults and children. However, to date, there are no recommendations regarding the discontinuation of other supportive measures during RNAi therapy. In this report, we present two patients with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 who were treated with lumasiran and stopped nocturnal hyperhydration with positive outcomes, i.e. normal urinary oxalate, absence of crystalluria, stable kidney function and improved well-being. These data suggest that discontinuing nocturnal hydration may be safe in children responding to lumasiran, and may have a positive impact on their quality of life. Additional data are needed to update treatment recommendations.

    Title translation Neurological disorders and hereditary podocytopathies: Some fascinating pathophysiological overlaps.
    Abstract Genetic studies of hereditary steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) have identified more than 60 genes involved in the development of single-gene, isolated or syndromic forms of hereditary podocytoapthies. Sometimes, syndromic SRNS is associated with neurological disorders. Over the past decades, various studies have established links between the podocyte, an epithelial glomerular cell involved in the renal filtration barrier, and neuronal cells, both morphologically (slit diaphragm and synapse) and functionally (signaling platforms). Variants of genes encoding proteins expressed in different compartments of the podocyte and neurons are responsible for phenotypes associating renal lesions with proteinuria to central and/or peripheral neurological disorders. In this review, we aim to focus on genetic syndromes associating proteinuria and neurological disease and to present the latest advances in the description of these neuro-renal disorders.

    Abstract Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is the most common glomerular disease in children. Corticosteroids are the cornerstone of its treatment, and steroid response is the main prognostic factor. Most children respond to a cycle of oral steroids, and are defined as having steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome. Among the children who do not respond, defined as having steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, most respond to second-line immunosuppression, mainly with calcineurin inhibitors, and children in whom a response is not observed are described as multidrug resistant. The pathophysiology of nephrotic syndrome remains elusive. In cases of immune-mediated origin, dysregulation of immune cells and production of circulating factors that damage the glomerular filtration barrier have been described. Conversely, up to a third of cases of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome have a monogenic origin. Multidrug resistant nephrotic syndrome often leads to kidney failure and can cause relapse after kidney transplant. Although steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome does not affect renal function, most children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome have a relapsing course that requires repeated steroid cycles with significant side-effects. To minimise morbidity, some patients require steroid-sparing immunosuppressive agents, including levamisole, mycophenolate mofetil, calcineurin inhibitors, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, and cyclophosphamide. Close monitoring and preventive measures are warranted at onset and during relapse to prevent acute complications (eg, hypovolaemia, acute kidney injury, infections, and thrombosis), whereas long-term management requires minimising treatment-related side-effects. A subset of patients have active disease into adulthood.

    Abstract The central question of nephron-sparing surgery in unilateral non-syndromic Wilms tumour sits at a crossroads between surgery, oncology, and nephrology. There has been a significant paradigm shift in paediatric oncology towards reducing toxicity and addressing long-term treatment-related sequalae amongst childhood cancer survivors. After paediatric nephrectomy and 30-50 years of follow-up, 40% of patients will have chronic kidney disease, including 22% with hypertension and 23% with albuminuria. It is difficult to predict which patients will progress to develop hypertension, reduced glomerular filtration rate, albuminuria, and a higher cardiovascular risk. For these reasons, nephron-sparing surgery when it is technically feasible must be considered. To decrease the incidence of positive surgical margins (viable tumour present at a resection margin), incomplete lymph node sampling, and complications, these procedures should be performed at specialist and experienced reference centres. Based on the impacts of individual treatment pathways, survivors of childhood WT need to be followed through adulthood for early detection of chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and prevention of cardiovascular events.
