Improving Nutritional Delivery To Pediatric Patients On Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy, Jennifer Ruiz-Boada, Sarah Brunner, Tara Benton, Vimal Chadha

INTRODUCTION: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is used in critically ill children with acute renal failure. CRRT can lead to malnutrition by removing essential proteins and micronutrients. Malnutrition is associated with worse outcomes, including increased length of stay and mortality. CRRT guidelines suggest the importance of early nutrition and ensuring high protein intake. After evaluating our CRRT patients, we found sub-optimal adherence to the guidelines. This Quality Improvement project aimed to increase the percentage of patients achieving 75% of their goal protein and caloric intake by day 5 of CRRT initiation by 15% by August 2023. METHODS: A multidisciplinary group …
The Association Between Age And Unrecognized And Untreated Hypertension In Children With Chronic Kidney Disease, Chloe Douglas, J Roem, Joseph Flynn, Susan Furth, Bradley A. Warady, Susan Halbach
The Association Between Age And Unrecognized And Untreated Hypertension In Children With Chronic Kidney Disease, Chloe Douglas, J Roem, Joseph Flynn, Susan Furth, Bradley A. Warady, Susan Halbach
Presentations
Background: Younger age has been associated with unrecognized hypertension (HTN) in both the general pediatric population and in children on dialysis. An increased lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease and the association of HTN with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression make optimal treatment of elevated blood pressure (BP) a key component of CKD management. However, the role of age in the recognition and treatment of HTN in non-dialysis pediatric CKD remains unknown.
Objective: Using data from the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) Cohort Study, we examined the relationship between age and recognized vs. unrecognized HTN, and the frequency with which …

Presentations
Background: Untargeted plasma metabolomic profiling combined with novel machine learning (ML) tools may lead to the discovery of metabolic profiles that inform our understanding of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) etiologies and identify potential therapeutic targets.
Objective: We sought to identify metabolomic signatures in pediatric CKD based on etiology: focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS), obstructive uropathy (OU), aplasia/dysplasia/hypoplasia (A/D/H), & reflux nephropathy (RN).
Design/Methods: Untargeted GC/MS2 and LC/MS2-based metabolomics quantification (Metabolon) was performed on baseline plasma samples from 702 Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) participants. Participants per etiology were: FSGS (n=63), OU (n=122), A/D/H (n=109), & RN (n=86). Lasso …
Obesity Does Not Increase Risk For Kidney Replacement Therapy (Krt), But Weight Reduction Improves Kidney Function In Children With Chronic Kidney Disease (Ckd), Amy Kogon, J Roem, Mark Mitsnefes, Babette Zeme, Bradley A. Warady, Susan Furth, Nancy Rodig
Obesity Does Not Increase Risk For Kidney Replacement Therapy (Krt), But Weight Reduction Improves Kidney Function In Children With Chronic Kidney Disease (Ckd), Amy Kogon, J Roem, Mark Mitsnefes, Babette Zeme, Bradley A. Warady, Susan Furth, Nancy Rodig
Presentations
Background: Obesity is prevalent in pediatric CKD, but its impact on CKD progression is unclear.
Objective: To determine the relationship between obesity/weight changes with CKD progression among children and adolescents enrolled in the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) study.
Design/Methods: Participants were categorized based on body mass index (BMI) as normal, overweight (OW) or obese and those who were underweight were excluded. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and parametric failure time models determined the association of baseline BMI category on time to KRT stratified by non-glomerular (NG) and glomerular (G) etiology of CKD. The distribution of changes in BMI categories within …
