    Abstract: Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is characterized by bilateral fibrocystic changes resulting in pronounced kidney enlargement. Impairment of kidney function is highly variable and widely available prognostic markers are urgently needed as a base for clinical decision-making and future clinical trials. In this observational study we analyzed the longitudinal development of sonographic kidney measurements in a cohort of 456 ARPKD patients from the international registry study ARegPKD. We furthermore evaluated correlations of sonomorphometric findings and functional kidney disease with the aim to describe the natural disease course and to identify potential prognostic markers. Kidney pole-to-pole (PTP) length and estimated total kidney volume (eTKV) increase with growth throughout childhood and adolescence despite individual variability. Height-adjusted PTP length decreases over time, but such a trend cannot be seen for height-adjusted eTKV (haeTKV) where we even observed a slight mean linear increase of 4.5 ml/m per year during childhood and adolescence for the overall cohort. Patients with two null PKHD1 variants had larger first documented haeTKV values than children with missense variants (median (IQR) haeTKV 793 (450–1098) ml/m in Null/null, 403 (260–538) ml/m in Null/mis, 230 (169–357) ml/m in Mis/mis). In the overall cohort, estimated glomerular filtration rate decreases with increasing haeTKV (median (IQR) haeTKV 210 (150–267) ml/m in CKD stage 1, 472 (266–880) ml/m in stage 5 without kidney replacement therapy). Strikingly, there is a clear correlation between haeTKV in the first eighteen months of life and kidney survival in childhood and adolescence with ten-year kidney survival rates ranging from 20% in patients of the highest to 94% in the lowest quartile. Early childhood haeTKV may become an easily obtainable prognostic marker of kidney disease in ARPKD, e.g. for the identification of patients for clinical studies.

    Abstract: Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is characterized by an impaired ability of the distal tubule to excrete acid, leading to metabolic acidosis. Associated complications include bone disease, growth failure, urolithiasis and hypokalaemia. Due to its rarity, there is limited evidence to guide diagnosis and management; however, available data strongly suggest that metabolic control of the acidosis by alkali supplementation can halt or revert almost all complications. Despite this, cohort studies show that adequate metabolic control is present in only about half of patients, highlighting problems with treatment provision or adherence. With these clinical practice points the authors, part of the working groups tubulopathies in the European Rare Kidney Disease Reference network and inherited kidney diseases of the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology, aim to provide guidance for the management of patients with dRTA to facilitate adequate treatment and establish an initial best practice standard against which treatment of patients can be audited.

    Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents the most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Our aim was to review the evidence and conduct a meta‐analysis assessing measures of arterial stiffness by pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx) in children and adolescents with T1DM compared to healthy controls. Methods PubMed and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant studies published up to 10 May 2021. Results Twenty‐one studies were finally included in the meta‐analysis. The T1DM group had significantly higher carotid to femoral PWV levels than that of the control group (mean difference [d]: 0.53 CI: 0.35–0.71, P   〈  0.00001) but with a fair heterogeneity (I 2:73%). By omitting one study with marked heterogeneity, mean difference in cfPWV remained significantly increased in the T1DM group compared to the control group (mean difference [d]: 0.37 CI: 0.27–0.48, P   〈  0.00001) but with improved heterogeneity ( I 2 = 26%). Regarding Aix, the T1DM group had a significantly higher AI@75 index than that of the control group (mean difference [d]: 0.28 CI: 0.17–0.39, P   〈  0.00001) and with no heterogeneity (I 2 = 8%). Conclusions Youths with T1DM show increased arterial stiffness, either as increased carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity or increased augmentation index, early in their course of life compared to healthy controls.

    Abstract: The story of vascular ageing was first described in the seventeenth century when Thomas Sydenham wrote that ‘A man is as old as his arteries’. This aphorism was returned to publicity lately when Peter Nilsson reintroduced the concept of early vascular ageing. As vascular ageing is described a gradual process involving biochemical, enzymatic, and cellular changes of the vasculature and modification of the signals that modulate them. In susceptible individuals this process appears to be accelerated, leading to features that comprise a condition characterized as early vascular aging (EVA). Early vascular ageing represents the acceleration of the vascular ageing process.

    Abstract: Familial hypercholesterolemia is a hereditary genetic disorder predisposing in premature atherosclerosis and cardiovascular complications. Early diagnosis as well as effective treatment strategies in affected children are challenges among experts. Universal screening and cascade screening among families with familial hypercholesterolemia are being controversially discussed. Diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia in children and adolescents is usually based on clinical phenotype upon LDL-C levels and family history of premature cardiovascular and/or elevated LDL-C. Treatment approaches for familial hypercholesterolemia in the pediatric population are multidisciplinary and aim to reduce total cardiovascular risk. The most widely recommended and effective pharmacotherapy in the pediatric age group is currently statins. Ezetimibe and bile acid sequestrants are usually used as second-line agents. New therapeutic approaches, such as mipomersen and PCSK9 inhibitors seem promising. The main gap of evidence remains the lack of longitudinal follow up studies investigating cardiovascular outcomes, side effects, and effectiveness of treatment starting from childhood. Evidence would be expected in the near future by cohort and registry studies.

    Abstract: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, although blood pressure (BP) levels have been reported to be lower in SCD patients compared to general population. Aims of the present study were to investigate the prevalence of BP phenotypes and levels of arterial stiffness in pediatric patients with SCD and to assess the differences with children at risk for hypertension. We included in the study 16 pediatric SCD (HbS/β‐thalassemia, S/β‐thal) patients and 16 consecutive children at risk for hypertension referred to our hypertension clinic that served as high‐risk controls. All patients underwent ambulatory BP monitoring and measurement of carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV). S/β‐thal patients had lower office systolic BP than the high‐risk control group (115.43 ± 10.03 vs 123.37 ± 11.92, P  = .05) but presented similar levels of day and night ambulatory BP. Office hypertension was found in 12.5% of the S/β‐thal patients and in 43.8% of the high‐risk controls ( P  = .06), while 18.8% of the S/β‐thal patients and 25% of the high‐risk controls presented hypertension by ambulatory BP levels ( P  = .21). All of the S/β‐thal patients with ambulatory hypertension had night hypertension (one combined night and day hypertension) with office normotension (masked hypertension). S/β‐thal patients and high‐risk controls presented equal prevalence of masked hypertension (18.8%). Children and adolescents with S/β‐thal present similar prevalence of BP phenotypes and levels of PWV with children at risk for hypertension. A significant number of children and adolescents with S/β‐thal may have masked nighttime hypertension despite normal office BP levels.

    Abstract: The goal is to review masked hypertension (MH) as a relatively new phenomenon when patients have normal office BP but elevated out-of-office BP. Firstly, it was described in children in 2004. It has received increased attention in the past decade. Recent Findings The prevalence of MH in different pediatric populations differs widely between 0 and 60% based on the population studied, definition of MH, or method of out-of-office BP measurement. The highest prevalence of MH has been demonstrated in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), obesity, diabetes, and after heart transplantation. In healthy children but with risk factors for hypertension such as prematurity, overweight/obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or positive family history of hypertension, the prevalence of MH is 9%. In healthy children without risk factors for hypertension, the prevalence of MH is very low ranging 0–3%. Summary In healthy children, only patients with the following clinical conditions should be screened for MH: high-normal/elevated office BP, positive family history of hypertension, and those referred for suspected hypertension who have normal office BP in the secondary/tertiary center.
