Study Notes
Pediatric Disorders
- The kidney releases erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells, and regulates water balance in the body.
- The kidneys also remove wastes, such as urea, uric acid, and toxins, from the blood through urine.
- They activate vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium, and maintain acid-base balance in the body.
- The kidneys also help regulate blood pressure and maintain a balance of electrolytes, like potassium, sodium, and calcium, which is critical for heart rhythm.
Nephrotic Syndrome
- A clinical state characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema.
- Can occur as a primary disease known as idiopathic nephrosis, childhood nephrosis, or minimal-change nephrotic syndrome.
- Can also occur as a secondary disorder after glomerular damage with a known or presumed cause.
- Characterized by increased glomerular permeability to plasma protein, resulting in massive urinary protein loss.
Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis (APSGN)
- The most common postinfectious renal disease in childhood.
- Associated with pneumococcal, streptococcal, and viral infections.
Infections of Bones and Joints
- Osteomyelitis can occur at any age, but most frequently seen in children under 10 years old.
- Most commonly affected bones include the foot, femur, tibia, and pelvis.
- Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative microorganism.
- Other causative microorganisms include group B streptococci for neonates, Salmonella for children with sickle cell disease, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae for sexually active adolescents.
Septic Arthritis
- Inflammation of a synovial membrane with purulent effusion into the joint capsule due to infection.
- Most common joints affected are knees, hips, ankles, and elbows.
- Clinical manifestations include severe joint pain, swelling, warmth of overlying tissue, and erythema.
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
- A chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease causing inflammation of joints and other tissues with unknown cause.
- Hypothesized causes include immunogenic susceptibility and environmental or external triggers such as viruses.
- Few known genetic risk factors contribute to the disease.
- Clinical manifestations vary and are unpredictable, potentially causing significant joint deformity and functional disability.
