The authors explore the concept of frailty in children, particularly those with chronic kidney disease, and its impact on their physical and psychosocial development. They emphasize the need for a better understanding of frailty in pediatric populations and advocate for the development of appropriate measurement tools to enhance care and improve quality of life for affected children. The study highlights the importance of addressing frailty to ensure that children can thrive and transition into adulthood successfully.
