Description
Ugnė Rukšėnaitė and colleagues present a 2026 cross-sectional study of chronic kidney disease in Lithuanian children at the Vilnius University Hospital pediatric center. Childhood kidney disease is uncommon but carries heavy lifelong burden, and, unlike adult disease, it usually stems from congenital malformations of the kidney and urinary tract. Lithuanian data were sparse.
Children under eighteen with disease stages two through five were staged under the 2024 international guideline definitions and grouped into seven cause categories. Body measurements, treatments, and guideline alignment were reviewed. The study describes who these patients are, what caused their disease, and where everyday practice diverges from guideline recommendations. Such a single-center census gives national planners their first concrete basis for pediatric kidney services.
