Description
Gaston van Hassel and ten colleagues track kidney decline in patients born with a heart fixed by the Fontan operation, in a twenty twenty-four study. This surgery reroutes blood flow for children with one working heart chamber. Kidney harm is common in heart disease but was little mapped in this group. The team followed eighty-two patients over eleven years with repeated kidney blood tests.
Kidney scores fell about twice as fast as in healthy peers. Twelve percent met the bar for kidney dysfunction on one test, and twice that share on a second test. The authors link the decline rate to death risk using joint models. They urge routine kidney checks in Fontan follow-up.
