It is concluded that Congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) was found to be the underlying etiology of chronic kidney disease in majority of our children who underwent CAPD.

Averting the Legacy of Kidney Disease-Focus on Childhood

Our research group has recently reported a correlation between high urinary levels of CXCL8/IL-8 and reduced glomerular filtration rate in CAKUT patients, suggesting that this chemokine might be associated with renal scarring and CKD [12].

Chemokines as potential markers in pediatric renal diseases

* Early diagnosis and appropriate management can prevent development of complications in many infants with CAKUT.

Common paediatric renal conditions: few children in South Africa have access to dialysis or renal transplantation, so it is important to recognise kidney disease early enough to prevent progression to end-stage disease

In this section, we reported studies that associated cytokines with relevant clinical consequences of CAKUT such as acute pyelonephritis, urinary tract obstruction, and renal scarring.

Interactions between cytokines, congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract and chronic kidney disease

Knowledge of the embryologic development of the kidney would appear to provide a logical basis for explaining departures from normal renal development and was especially popular for many CAKUT lesions.

ADPKD was the most common inherited kidney disease diagnosis, accounting for 40.3% of cases, followed by CAKUT (11.5%), Alport syndrome (9.4%), and ARPKD (7.2%) (Table 5).
