ETIOLOGY OF END STAGE RENAL DISEASE (ESRD) IN SHIRAZ PEDIATRIC HEMODIALYSIS CENTER

Original Research
One-hundred and sixteen children with ESRD were registered in Shiraz Pediatric
Hemodialysis Center in Nemazee Hospital, a referral center in the south of
Iran, from 1990 to 1999. Very small children are not dialysed in this center due to
technical problems. The age range of children in this center was 2-16 years, mean
age was 10.4±3.6 years and male to female ratio was 1.4. Major causes of ESRD
in order of frequency were glomerulopathies 23 (19.83%), reflux 15 (12.93%),
chronic pyelonephritis without reflux 11 (9.5%), neurogenic bladder 10 (8.62%),
cystic diseases 10 (8.62%), stone disease 9 (7.75%), posterior urethral valve 7
(6.03%), ureteropelvic junction obstruction 7 (6.03%), and unknown 12 (10.35%).
Despite the low number for statistical analysis, reflux, neurogenic bladder, FSGS,
nephronophthisis and stone disease were found to be more common here compared
with other centers, which means more consideration is required. Thirtynine
of these children (33.6%) have been transplanted, mostly from parents.
