    Aim: The aims of this study were to evaluate the characteristics of childhood vasculitides and to establish the first registry in Turkey, an eastern Mediterranean country with a white population. Patients and methods: A questionnaire was distributed to the main referral centers asking for the registration of the Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) patients in the last calendar year only and 5 years for other vasculitides. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were assessed. Results: Vasculitic diseases were registered from 15 pediatric centers. These centers had a fair representation throughout the country. In the last calendar year, incidences were as follows: HSP 81.6%, Kawasaki disease (KD) 9.0%, childhood polyarteritis nodosa (C-PAN) 5.6%, Takayasu arteritis (TA) 1.5%, Wegener's granulomatosis 0.4%, and Behçet disease 1.9%. There was no clear gender dominance. The mean age was 11.05±4.89 years. Acute phase reactants were elevated in almost all, highest figures being in C-PAN. Renal involvement was present in 28.6% of HSP and 53% of the C-PAN patients. Abdominal aorta was involved in all TA patients. Among the C-PAN patients, 25% had microscopic PAN with necrotizing glomerulonephritis; antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody was positive in those who were studied. Among the patients, 12.5% and 15% had classic PAN and cutaneous PAN, respectively. The remaining majority were classified as systemic C-PAN diagnosed with biopsies and/or angiograms demonstrating small to midsize artery involvement. The overall prognosis was better than reported in adult series. Conclusion: This is the largest multicenter study defining the demographic data for childhood vasculitides. The distribution of childhood vasculitides was different in our population where KD is much less frequent, whereas HSP constitutes an overwhelming majority. C-PAN was more frequent as well. © Clinical Rheumatology 2006.

    Henoch-schönlein nephritis: A nationwide study
    (2009) Soylemezoglu O.; Ozkaya O.; Ozen S.; Bakkaloglu A.; Dusunsel R.; Peru H.; Çetinyurek A.; Yildiz N.; Donmez O.; Buyan N.; Mir S.; Arisoy N.; Gur-Guven A.; Alpay H.; Ekim M.; Aksu N.; Soylu A.; Gok F.; Poyrazoglu H.; Sonmez F.
    Background/Aim: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the presentation, clinical and pathological manifestations and outcome of the Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) nephritis in children. Methods: Clinical and laboratory data of 443 children with HSP nephritis aged between 3 and 16 years from 16 pediatric nephrology reference centers were analyzed retrospectively. The biopsy findings were graded according to the classification developed by the International Study of Kidney Disease in Children (ISKDC). Results: Renal biopsy was performed in 179 of the patients with HSP nephritis. The most common presenting clinical finding in patients who were biopsied was nephrotic range proteinuria (25%) which was followed by nephritic-nephrotic syndrome (23.5%). The biopsy findings according to the ISKDC were as follows: class I: 8.3%; II: 44.1%; III: 36.3%; IV: 6.7%; V: 3.3%; VI: 1.1%. All of the patients who developed end-stage renal disease had nephritic-nephrotic syndrome at presentation. Of 443 patients, 87.2% had a favorable outcome and 12.8% had an unfavorable outcome. The overall percentage of children who developed end-stage renal disease at follow-up was 1.1%. Logistic regression analysis did not show any association of initial symptoms and histology with outcome. Conclusion: In the presented cohort, the presence of crescents in the first biopsy or presenting clinical findings did not seem to predict the outcome of HSP nephritis in children. We conclude that children with HSP nephritis even with isolated microscopic hematuria and/or mild proteinuria should be followed closely. © 2009 S. Karger AG, Basel.

    Indoxyl sulfate associates with cardiovascular phenotype in children with chronic kidney disease
    (Springer Verlag, 2019) Holle J.; Querfeld U.; Kirchner M.; Anninos A.; Okun J.; Thurn-Valsassina D.; Bayazit A.; Niemirska A.; Canpolat N.; Bulut I.K.; Duzova A.; Anarat A.; Shroff R.; Bilginer Y.; Caliskan S.; Candan C.; Harambat J.; Özcakar Z.B.; Soylemezoglu O.; Tschumi S.; Habbig S.; Yilmaz E.; Balat A.; Zurowska A.; Cakar N.; Kranz B.; Ertan P.; Melk A.; Azukaitis K.; Schaefer F.
    Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Serum levels of gut-derived uremic toxins increase with deterioration of kidney function and are associated with cardiac comorbidities in adult CKD patients. Methods: Indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (pCS) were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography in serum of children participating in the Cardiovascular Comorbidity in Children with CKD (4C) Study. Results were correlated with measurements of the carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), central pulse wave velocity (PWV), and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in children aged 6–17 years with initial eGFR of 10–60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Results: The median serum levels of total IS and of pCS, measured in 609 patients, were 5.3 µmol/l (8.7) and 17.0 µmol/l (21.6), respectively. In a multivariable regression model, IS and pCS showed significant positive associations with urea and negative associations with eGFR and uric acid. Furthermore, positive associations of pCS with age, serum albumin, and non-Mediterranean residency and a negative association with glomerular disease were observed. By multivariable regression analysis, only IS was significantly associated with a higher cIMT SDS at baseline and progression of PWV SDS within 12 months, independent of other risk factors. Conclusions: Serum levels of gut-derived uremic toxins IS and pCS correlated inversely with eGFR in children. Only IS was significantly associated with surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease in this large pediatric CKD cohort. © 2019, IPNA.
