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].

* 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).

Hoy en dia, y desde la aparicion de la ecografia prenatal, se pueden observar alteraciones de la via urinaria antes del nacimiento como hidronefrosis, quistes, dilataciones, displasias; estas se denomina CAKUT (congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract) y son el motivo de consulta de los padres.
