Frailty in children with chronic kidney disease and kidney failure

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to address the under-recognition of frailty in children with chronic kidney disease, emphasizing that it manifests as a loss of developmental potential rather than functional decline. They advocate for early identification through standardized screening to facilitate timely interventions, highlighting the potential for reversibility in childhood frailty, which can enhance developmental outcomes and resilience.
