Abstract
Objective: To analyse the demographics of children with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5 over a 5-year period for the population of South East England.
Methods: Retrospective study of all children
Results: There were 293 children (58% male) with a median (IQR) age of 6.7 (2.3, 12.1) years; 288 were aged
Conclusions: We observed a steady increase in the incidence and prevalence of children with CKD stage 3-5. As a result of improved management, the majority of children with CKD will proceed to kidney transplantation, transition to adult nephrology services, and continue to require lifelong medical care.
