    Abstract Successful outcomes in pediatric kidney transplantation require the involvement of the transplant team as well as recipients and their caregivers. Enhancing patient and family understanding of the disease and of post-transplant care can result in improved adherence and outcomes. Educational strategies should aim to be broad, understandable, innovative, and inclusive while maintaining a tailored approach to individualized care. Teaching should not be viewed as a one-time event but rather as an ongoing conversation throughout the duration of care, emphasizing different aspects throughout the patient's various developmental stages. The following review article discusses the content and methods of post-transplant education.

    Abstract Background: Ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) is exceedingly rare in children on dialysis, resulting from poor perfusion of the optic nerve, and presents as sudden acute painless vision loss.
    Case-diagnosis/treatment: We report the case of a 3-year-old male with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD 5) due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) status post-bilateral nephrectomy on chronic hemodialysis who had acute loss of vision several hours after a hemodialysis session. Earlier that day, he had a drop in blood pressure intra-dialysis to 89/67 mmHg, with at home blood pressures ranging 90/60 to 150/100 mmHg. The patient was treated with tight blood pressure control to maintain blood flow and prevent blood pressure lability, received high-dose corticosteroids with a corticosteroid taper, and placed on high-dose erythropoietin for neuroprotective effect. He regained partial vision beginning approximately 1 month after presentation.
    Conclusions: The exact cause of our patient's simultaneous bilateral anterior and posterior ION, confirmed via MRI and fundoscopic examination, is unclear; however, is likely secondary to a combination of fluctuating blood pressure, anemia, anephric status, and hemodialysis. This highlights the need for close blood pressure monitoring, management of anemia, and more diligent ophthalmologic screening in pediatric patients on chronic hemodialysis.

    Abstract Objective: To determine the association between dietary fiber intake and markers of cardiometabolic risk in adolescents, with blood pressure (BP) as the primary outcome of interest and secondary outcome measures including other established markers of childhood cardiometabolic risk, such as obesity, lipids, albuminuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and uric acid.
    Study design: Dietary fiber intake was assessed by two 24-hour dietary recall interviews, which were averaged and corrected for body weight. Logistic and linear regression models were used to analyze the cross-sectional association between dietary fiber and cardiometabolic markers. Participants aged 13-17 years in the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2009-2018 who completed a 24-hour dietary recall survey were included. Exclusion criteria included pregnancy, small for gestational age status, and history of major health comorbidities.
    Results: In fully adjusted regression models, low dietary fiber intake was significantly associated with greater diastolic blood pressure (β = -13.29; 95% CI, -20.66 to -5.93), body mass index z-score (β = -0.91; 95% CI, -1.47 to -0.34), and uric acid (β = -0.80; 95% CI, -1.44 to -0.16).
    Conclusions: The association found between low dietary fiber intake and poor childhood cardiometabolic risk markers indicate a need for prospective studies using fiber intake as a dietary intervention in childhood and as a tool for prevention of many chronic conditions.

    Abstract Introduction: To assess the prevalence of hyponatremia among pediatric patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) and determine if pediatric hyponatremia was associated with an increased length of stay, higher rates of mechanical ventilation, and/or elevated inflammatory markers on admission as compared to eunatremic patients.
    Methods: Electronic health records were retrospectively analyzed for 168 children less than 18 years old with COVID-19 or MIS-C who were admitted to pediatric units within the Northwell Health system. The primary exposure was hyponatremic status (serum sodium <135 mEq/L) and the primary outcomes were length of stay, mechanical ventilation usage and increased inflammatory markers.
    Results: Of the 168 children in the study cohort, 95 (56%) were admitted for COVID-19 and 73 (43.5%) for MIS-C. Overall, 60 (35.7%) patients presented with hyponatremia on admission. Patients with hyponatremia had higher rates of intensive care unit admission when compared to eunatremic patients (32/60 [53.3%] vs. 39/108 [36.1%],
    Conclusion: Hyponatremia is common in pediatric COVID-19 and MIS-C. Hyponatremia was associated with a lower albumin and higher square root CRP levels. This may suggest an association of inflammation with lower serum sodium levels.

    Abstract Background: The 2022 American Heart Association (AHA) pediatric ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) guidelines eliminated the prehypertension phenotype and blood pressure loads in ABPM interpretation criteria. Adolescents who were prehypertensive or unclassified according to the 2014 AHA pediatric ABPM guidelines will be reclassified as having hypertension or normotension. The epidemiology and association of reclassification phenotype with target organ damage (TOD) is not yet known.
    Methods: A single center retrospective review of adolescents ages 13-21 years old between 2015-2022 was performed. Adolescents diagnosed with prehypertension or unclassified by the 2014 AHA pediatric ABPM guidelines were reclassified by the 2022 definitions. Logistic regression models adjusted for body mass index z-score evaluated the association of reclassification phenotype with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
    Results: Among 88 adolescents with prehypertension, 68% (N = 60) were reclassified as hypertensive. The majority (58%, N = 35) of hypertensive reclassification was based on isolated nocturnal blood pressures ≥ 110/65 mmHg. Taller males were more likely to reclassify as hypertensive. Adolescents reclassified as hypertensive had a greater-than-six-fold increased odds of LVH in adjusted models [OR 6.4 95%CI 1.2-33.0, p = 0.027]. Of 40 adolescents with unclassified blood pressures, 37.5% (N = 15) reclassified to normotension. There were no significant clinical or demographic variables associated with reclassification category nor was there an association with LVH.
    Conclusions: The new ABPM guidelines effectively reclassify adolescents who were previously prehypertensive as normotensive or hypertensive based on risk of TOD. Further studies are needed to describe the long-term outcomes of ABPM phenotypes with the implementation of these guidelines.

    Abstract Acute severe hypertension in otherwise healthy children with acute illness requiring hospitalization for BP management is uncommon and warrants immediate evaluation. We describe 10 cases of children presenting with acute gastroenteritis and found to have acute severe hypertension. They required admission to the hospital for antihypertensive treatment, including 2 to the intensive care unit, but all had normalization of BP and were able to stop treatment with resolution of the acute illness. All patients had thorough testing for secondary causes of hypertension and for signs of end-target organ damage, which were unremarkable. To our knowledge, acute severe hypertension in the setting of acute gastroenteritis without underlying kidney pathology and with complete resolution after illness has not been previously described. The mechanism of this association is not clear, although activation of the sympathetic nervous system is suspected. These cases illustrate the importance of thoroughly assessing BP in the acute setting.

    Abstract Background: Pediatric chronic disease impacts the affected child and their family structure. There is limited literature investigating the psychosocial impact of nephrotic syndrome on families.
    Methods: Caregivers of children with nephrotic syndrome completed two validated surveys: (1) Impact on Family (IOF) that evaluates the family impact (degree to which family is affected by a pediatric chronic illness) and (2) Coping Health Inventory for Parents (CHIP) that examines the coping patterns used by caregivers. Linear regression models were utilized to determine predictors of perceived family impact and coping patterns.
    Results: Seventy-five caregivers of a child with nephrotic syndrome completed the surveys. On a scale from low impact to significant impact to very serious impact, results indicated that nephrotic syndrome had a significant impact on families (mean revised IOF total score 33.04 ± 9.38). Families in the steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) group reported a higher financial impact compared to the steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) group (p = 0.03). Families in the frequently relapsing group (FRNS) reported a higher impact on the caregiver's ability to cope with the child's condition compared to the SRNS group (p = 0.02). Tacrolimus use was associated with increasing the perceived family impact (β = 4.76, p = 0.046). CHIP scores indicated that caregivers did not cope well with family integration (component I) but coped well with social support (component II) and communication (component III).
    Conclusions: Childhood nephrotic syndrome has a significant overall perceived impact on the family, and caregivers did not cope well regarding strengthening their family life. These findings can be used as outcome measures for future intervention studies to find solutions that would decrease the perceived family burden. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

    Abstract Background: Deceased donor kidneys with acute kidney injury (AKI) and donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidneys are viable sources of organs. The outcomes of renal transplantation from DCD donors with AKI are not known.
    Methods: A retrospective review of deceased donor renal transplants performed from 2006 to 2016 was conducted using the United Network for Organ Sharing dataset. Donors were stratified by DCD or brain dead status and by AKI stage. Recipients were followed until graft failure or the end of study. Cox regression was used to adjust for donor, recipient, and transplant covariates known to affect the incidence of delayed graft function and graft survival.
    Results: A total of 135 644 patients were included in the study. The odds of delayed graft function among DCD recipients were significantly higher across all donor AKI stages. The unadjusted risk of overall and death-censored graft failure were similar between the 2 groups. After adjusting for covariates, there was a significant increase in the risk of overall graft failure in recipients of DCD allografts from donors with stage 2 AKI. There was also a higher risk of death-censored graft failure among stage 1 and 2 AKI DCD recipients.
    Conclusions: DCD renal allografts from donors experiencing stage 1 and 2 AKI have a higher adjusted risk of death-censored graft failure than AKI stage-matched donation after brain death renal allografts. Their use, however, is still associated with improved outcomes compared with waitlist mortality.

    Abstract Objective: To compare pediatric ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) criteria with adult ABPM criteria for the diagnosis of hypertension and detection of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in adolescents.
    Study design: ABPM and echocardiography reports from adolescents age 13-21 years from 2015 to 2019 were analyzed. The concordance of hypertension based on pediatric criteria (American Heart Association 2014) was compared with adult criteria from American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association 2017 (overall BP ≥125/75 mm Hg, wake BP ≥130/80 mm Hg, sleep BP ≥110/65 mm Hg) using the Cohen kappa statistic. Logistic regression, adjusted for body mass index z score, and receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs) compared pediatric criteria vs adult criteria in predicting LVH (left ventricular mass index >95th percentile reference values and left ventricular mass index >51 g/m
    Results: Of 306 adolescents, 140 (45.8%) had hypertension based on pediatric criteria vs 228 (74.5%) based on adult criteria; the agreement was poor (59.3%, n = 137, kappa = 0.41). A higher prevalence of LVH was captured by adult criteria only (n = 91) compared with pediatric criteria only (n = 3). Logistic regression found no significant differences between pediatric and adult criteria in the detection of LVH >95th percentile (OR 1.24, CI 0.66, 2.31, P = .51) or >51 g/m
    Conclusions: Adult criteria captured a higher prevalence of LVH and appeared to predict better LVH than pediatric criteria. A consideration to align ABPM criteria for diagnosing hypertension in adolescents with adult guidelines is warranted.
