Chronic glomerular and tubular nephrotoxicity is reported in 20–50% and 20–25%,
respectively, of children and adolescents treated with ifosfamide and 60–80% and 10–30 …

Objectives. Serum creatinine is the most common endogenous marker of renal function. The
proportionality between creatinine production and muscle mass requires adjustment for …

Cystatin C, a low molecular weight protein, is a new endogenous marker of renal function
whose serum concentration correlates better with glomerular filtration rate than creatinine …

The aim of this study was to report on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of Belgian
children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Between 2001 and 2005, we followed 143 new …

Background Cisplatin and carboplatin are both nephrotoxic and can induce, to a different
degree, impairment in glomerular function and hypomagnesemia. Prospective longitudinal …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and identify variables associated with renal
dysfunction in long-term survivors of pediatric liver transplantation. STUDY DESIGN: Data …

Since the advent of transplantation as a life‐saving procedure for patients with end‐stage
liver disease, more than 15,000 children and adolescents have received liver transplants …

Background Monitoring of renal function is crucial in pediatric oncology. The use of
creatinine to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is hampered by its dependency on …

Equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are vital in caring for patients with
renal disease and the current standard, the Schwartz formula, lacks precision. We evaluated …

PURPOSE: Carboplatin dosing in adults with cancer is based on renal function. The
purpose of the current study was to validate a previously developed pediatric carboplatin …
