Case 1: Dehydration
A 4 mo old infant presents with a four to five day history of low grade fever (38-38.5oC), numerous watery diarrhea and decreased activity. Since the child refused to take her usual breast milk volume or solid foods, the mother and grandmother substituted non-carbonated soda (Coca-cola, ginger ale, apple juice or orange juice will have ~550-700 mOsm/kg H2O) with less than 5 mEq/L of sodium), and “sweet” (sugar added) iced tea. Over the last 12 hours there were a few episodes of emesis and there were less wet diapers.
On examination the child was lethargic, dry mucous membranes, no tears, sunken eyeballs, and reduced skin turgor. Vitals signs were the following: Blood pressure 74/43 mmHg; Temperature of 38oC, respiratory rate of 36 per minute and pulse of 175 beats per minute. The weight was 6 kg. Weight at the time of her immunization 7 days ago was 6.6 kg. There were no other significant findings.

Hypernatremia – SLOW and CLOSE
Key points: look quiet then irritable on stimulation; may look better than % of dehydration based on weighted
Fluid selection: 5% dextrose + ¼ isotonic saline (~30-40 mEq/L of Na) + 20 mEq KCl /L– 1st 24 hrs: 24 hrs of Maintenance + ½ deficit– 2nd 24 hrs: 24 hrs of Maintenance + ½ deficit– Close monitoring of serum sodium every 2-3 hours.
Some have suggested using a higher [sodium] – 0.45% isotonic saline or even isotonic saline to restore ECF volume then moving to a lower sodium containing solution to restore the water deficit. This approach may also reduce the possibility of dropping the serum sodium too quickly and preventing neurological problems.

Hematuria
Case 2: Susan is an 8 year old noted on routine exam to have moderate hematuria on dipstick. She has an unremarkable past medical history. Family history is negative in the parents and siblings for any renal disease. History of hematuria is unknown. A repeat urine in one week is still positive and a urine culture showed no growth.
![Page 19: Metro New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May 2011 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte, NC](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dde5503460f94ad69f7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Question 2: Which of the following test is the next step in the evaluation?
1 2 3 4 5
20% 20% 20%20%20%1. VCUG and urine culture
2. Renal sonogram and urine calcium to creatinine ratio
3. Urology referral
4. CBC and Direct Coombs
5. Recheck in two years 6

• Repeat a first AM void following restricted activity , perform a microscopic on a fresh urine
• Check the family members• If there is still blood without protein, casts,
crystals, normal BP with or without a strong family history, no further work-up is generally required. However a renal sonogram and urine calcium to creatinine ratio
• Caveat - Family anxiety because of the connotation of blood and cancer in adults.

Case 3: 7 year old boy developed gross tea colored hematuria after a sore throat and upper respiratory infection. No urinary symptoms but urine output was decreased. He complained of mild diffuse lower abdominal pain. There is no fever, rash or joint complaints. Past med history was unremarkable but had intermittent headaches for two years.
On exam he was well (afebrile) with a BP of 95/65 mHg, no edema, some suprapubic tenderness and red tympanic membranes. The mother thinks that a similar episode occur on vacation a few months ago.
Urinalysis shows 20 RBCs/hpf, 5-10 WBCs, 100 mg/dL of protein, rare cellular and hyaline casts. Serum creatinine is 0.8 mg/dL, C3 100 (normal).

Glomerular v. Non-glomerular bleeding
• Glomerular
– oliguria, edema, hypertension, proteinuria, anemia
• Non-glomerular
– dysuria, frequency, polyuria, pain or colic, hx
exercise
– crystals on microscopic
– mass on exam
– medication history - sulfas, aspirin, diuretics
![Page 24: Metro New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May 2011 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte, NC](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dde5503460f94ad69f7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Initial evaluation of the patient with hematuria
• All patients: BUN, creatinine, kidney and bladder ultrasound, urine calcium to creatinine ratio
• Who should be worked up– Presence of proteinuria and/or hypertension , – History consistent with infectious history, HSP, systemic symptoms, medication
use or abuse, strong family history of stones or renal disease/failure. – Persistent gross hematuria– Family anxiety - limit evaluation
• Probable glomerular hematuria – C3, ASO titer– possible: hepatitis, HIV, SLE serology , SSD– renal biopsy – not for persistent microscopic without proteinuria, decreased renal
function, and/or hypertension• Probable non-glomeurlar hematuria
– urine culture, urine Ca/creatinine ratio– possible: hemoglobin electrophoresis,– coagulation studies, isotope scans,– Flat plate, CT, ??IVP, cystoscopy
![Page 25: Metro New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May 2011 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte, NC](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dde5503460f94ad69f7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Pearls for Hematuria
• Hematuria may be an important sign of renal or bladder disease
• Proteinuria (as we will discuss) is the more important diagnostic and prognostic finding.
• Hematuria almost never is a cause of anemia• The vast majority of children with isolated
microscopic hematuria do not have a treatable or serious cause for the hematuria, and do not require an extensive evaluation. So a VCUG, cysto and biopsy are not indicated.
![Page 26: Metro New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May 2011 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte, NC](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dde5503460f94ad69f7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
More Pearls
• Urethrorrhagia – boys with bloody spots in the underwear– Presentation – prepuberal ~ 10 yrs– It is painless– Almost 50% will resolve in 6 months and > 90% at 1
year; it may persist for 2 yrs– Treatment – watchful waiting in most cases
• Painful gross hematuria – usually infection, calculi, or urological problems; glomerular causes of hematuria are painless.
![Page 27: Metro New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May 2011 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte, NC](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dde5503460f94ad69f7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
More Pearls – gross hematuria
• Gross hematuria is often a presentation of Wilms’ tumor
• All patients with gross hematuria require an imaging study.
• If a cause of gross hematuria is not evident by history, PE or preliminary studies, the differential includes hypercalciuria or SS trait
• Cysto is rarely helpful
![Page 28: Metro New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May 2011 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte, NC](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dde5503460f94ad69f7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
IgA• IGA nephropathy
– Boys > girls– Mostly normotensive, with persistent
microscopic hematuria– Chronic glomerulonephrits – up to 40% of
primary glomerulonephritis– Complement studies are nl, some inc IgA – Prognosis – not so good if > 10 yrs of age,
proteinuria, reduced GFR, hypertension and no macrohematuria

On routine physical examination, an 8-year-old boy is found to have microscopic hematuria. The first step in your
evaluation should be.
1. Examine the urine sediment
2. Order an renal ultrasound
3. Obtain a voiding cystourethrogram
4. Perform a CBC in the office
5. Order an ASO titer and C3
![Page 32: Metro New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May 2011 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte, NC](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dde5503460f94ad69f7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
An 8-year-old boy presents with tea colored urine. He has very mild edema. History of strep infection about 2 weeks ago. The work-up should include all the following except.
A. Complement studiesB. Serum creatinineC. Urinalysis for proteinD. Monitor blood pressure and urine outputE. Obtain a renal ultrasound
Question 5
![Page 33: Metro New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May 2011 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte, NC](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dde5503460f94ad69f7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Acute glomerulonephritis: clinical• May be clinically asymptomatic (? 90%)
with low C3 and hematuria• Usually within 3 weeks after strep infection
– mean about 10 days• Periorbital, peripheral edema• Hematuria - coke-colored, tea-colored,
reddish/brown• Nonspecific findings such as abdominal
pain, malaise, anorexia, headaches, pallor
![Page 34: Metro New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May 2011 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte, NC](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dde5503460f94ad69f7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Acute glomerulonephritis: DD
• Acute Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSAGN) – most common
• Acute Postinfectious or nonstreptococcal postinfectious glomlerulonephritis 9AIAGN)– Bacterial: endocarditis (low C3), shunt nephritis (low
C3), pneumococcal pneumonia, etc.– Viral: hepatitis B, infectious mononucleosis, varicella,
etc,– Parasites:
• Other: SLE (low C3), membranoproliferative GN (low C3), hyperthyroidism, HSP (nl C3)
![Page 35: Metro New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May 2011 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte, NC](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dde5503460f94ad69f7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Acute glomerulonephritis: evaluation/ treatment
• Evaluation– ASO, C3, C4– Renal function– Evaluation for hypertension and oliguria– Magnitude of proteinuria
• RX – supportive – Admission for hypertension, oliguria, impaired renal

• Repeat a first AM void following restricted activity, perform a microscopic on a fresh urine; also an alkaline pH may give a false positive result
• If there is still protein perform a more formal orthostatic test. If orthostatic, no further work-up is generally required, although no indemnification from subsequent renal disease.

Nephrotic Syndrome• Primary Nephrotic Syndrome:
– Minimal change disease (~75%) – mean age 4 yrs• No hematuria, nl C3, no hypertension, nl creatinine
– Membranoproliferative GN (~ 5-10%)– FSGS (5-10%)– Proliferative GN, Mesangial proliferation – Membranous nephropathy
• Secondary Nephrotic Syndrome: – SLE, HSP, diabetes mellitus, HIV, vasculitis, malignancy (lymphoma,
leukemia), drugs (heroin, inteferon, lithium), infections (toxo, CMV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C)etc.
• Congenital/Infantile Nephrotic Syndrome:– Finnish-type congenital nephrotic syndrome,Denys-Drash syndrome– Diffuse mesangial sclerosis, Nail-patella syndrome
![Page 44: Metro New York / New Jersey Pediatric Board Review Course Pediatric Nephrology May 2011 Leonard G. Feld MD PhD Levine Children’s Hospital Charlotte, NC](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dde5503460f94ad69f7/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Nephrotic Syndrome - RXCorticosteroid treatment • Induction therapy:
– Exclude active infection or other contraindications prior to steroid therapy. – Oral prednisone or prednisolone at 60 mg/m2/d (~2 mg/kg/d) daily for 4 weeks.
• Maintenance therapy (following above induction therapy) – Oral prednisone or prednisolone at 40 mg/m2 (or ~1.5 mg/kg) given as a single dose
on alternate days for 4 weeks. – NOTE: Some nephrologists recommend daily induction steroid treatment for 6 weeks,
followed by alternate day maintenance therapy for another 6 weeks. • Relapse therapy
– For infrequent relapses, Prednisone 60 mg/m2/d (~2 mg/kg/d) given as a single morning dose until proteinuria has resolved for at least 3days.
– Following remission of proteinuria, prednisone is reduced to 40 mg/m2 (or ~1.5 mg/kg) given as a single dose on alternate days for 4 weeks. Prednisone may then be discontinued or a tapering regimen.
Frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome is defined as steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome with 2 or more relapses within 6 months or more than 3 relapses within a 12-month period.

BP ClassificationGrade of hypertension Definition Appropriate next step
“White-coat” hypertension BP levels >95th percentile in a physician's office or clinic, but normotensive outside a clinical setting
Readings may be obtained at home with appropriate family training or with the assistance of a school nurse, or with the use of ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM)
Normal < 90th %ile
Pre-hypertension >120/80 mm Hg should be considered pre-hypertensive or90-95%ile
Additional readings may be obtained at home with appropriate family training or with the assistance of a school nurse
Stage I hypertension 95th -99th %ile + 5 mmHg Organize a diagnostic evaluation in a non-urgent, phased approach
Stage II hypertension Average SBP or DBP that is >5 mm Hg higher than the 99th percentile
Organize a diagnostic evaluation over a short period of time in conjunction with pharmacological treatment
Hypertensive urgency and emergency
Average SBP or DBP that is >5 mm Hg higher than the 95th percentile, along with clinical signs or symptoms

SCENARIOA 6 year boy is diagnosed as having ALL. He is started on chemotherapy and his white blood cell count drops precipitously. The child is discharged and the family is encouraged. However, after two days at home he spikes a temperature to 39 C. The parents contact the heme/ onc fellow who tells them to come to the hospital immediately.
On arrival to the ER, the child is a bit lethargic. His BP is 60/40.
What is the most important first step in the management of this child?What are the most useful diagnostic tests?What are the possible causes of his condition?How should his condition be treated?

Electrolyte disorders: RTA
• Assessment– SMAC: Cl-– VBG: Bicarbonate– Urine: calcium, citrate– Urine anion gap: unmeasured cation
(NH4+)– Xrays

Electrolyte disturbances: RTA• Treatment• Proximal
– Higher doses of bicarbonate – More frequent dosing– Exacerbation of hypokalemia with Rx
• Distal– 1-3 mmol/kg varying with age and diet – 3 doses– Stabilization of K with Rx

Electrolyte disorders: metabolic alkalosis
• Extrarenal/GI loss of K– CF
• Vomiting– NG suction– Pyloric stenosis
• Distal GI loss of bicarbonate– Chloride diarrhea
• Renal– Bartter’s– Gitelman’s– Apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME)/licorice

Electrolyte disorders: DI
• Central• Nephrogenic• Risk of CNS disease
– 1/12 (1/3 X ¼) of loss from ECF– Limited access to water– Altered thirst

Electrolyte disorders: DI
• Central– AVP replacement
• Nephrogenic– Adequate water intake– Low solute diet– Hydrochlorothiazide

Electrolytes: Pearls
There are three pure renal causes of FTT – azotemia, DI, and RTA
RTA causes hyperchloremic acidosis
Bartter’s and Gitelman’s differ in calcium excretion – high in former low in latter
