Abstract:

Due to a variety of diseases, kidney functions may be suddenly deteriorated (acute kidney failure) or irreversibly lost (chronic kidney failure). Babies and children with kidney diseases are exposed to many changes in their diet during treatment. The nutrition of children is important to ensure growth and development in all stages of kidney diseases. Medical nutritional therapy (TBT) should be individual, taking into account the developmental condition of the child in all age groups, growth potential and kidney functional limitations. The goal of treatment in children’s patients is to slow the progression of the disease, prevent and treat complications, ensure growth/development and quality of life. Medical nutrition therapy plays a critical role in achieving these goals. In this collection article, the latest developments in childhood kidney diseases will be reviewed, focusing on the current nutritional treatments.
