Congenital Anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract: pediatric origins and adult outcomes

Listen to this summary

The authors investigate the origins and long-term outcomes of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), which are significant contributors to pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD). They emphasize the importance of genetic testing and a life-course model of care to manage CAKUT effectively, highlighting the increased risks of cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurocognitive issues in affected individuals as they transition into adulthood.
