Family support and caregiver involvement are important for access to pediatric pre-emptive kidney transplantation
Jun 10, 2026
The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between family and social support (FSS) and access to pre-emptive kidney transplantation (PKT) in children with stage 5 chronic kidney disease. Their findings indicate that adequate FSS is significantly associated with higher rates of PKT, highlighting the importance of strengthening family support networks and caregiver involvement to improve transplantation outcomes for pediatric patients.
Pooled frequency of ceftriaxone-induced urolithiasis in pediatric patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Jun 9, 2026
The authors aimed to determine the pooled frequency of ceftriaxone-induced urolithiasis in pediatric patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis. They found that approximately 7% of children receiving ceftriaxone developed urinary tract lithiasis, with significant variability based on study design and geographic region. The study highlights the need for more robust, standardized research to accurately assess the incidence and risk factors associated with this condition.
Utilization and outcomes of COVID-19 positive donors in pediatric kidney transplantation-a population-based study
Jun 6, 2026
The authors aimed to evaluate the outcomes of pediatric kidney transplantation using organs from COVID-19 positive donors compared to those from COVID-19 negative donors. Their population-based study found that while the utilization of COVID positive donors increased over time, there were no significant differences in patient survival, graft failure, or other post-transplant outcomes between the two groups. This suggests that using kidneys from COVID positive donors is a viable option for pediatric transplantation.
