MODERN METHODS FOR ASSESSING THE COURSE, TREATMENT, AND PROGNOSIS OF CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE IN CHILDREN

Abstract

Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a non-specific syndrome that develops in
hereditary, congenital, and acquired kidney diseases due to the progressive death of
nephrons and stroma with a steady decrease in the ability of the kidneys to perform
homeostatic functions. More than 50 diseases are known, that end with CRF with different
frequencies and speeds (14). The true social significance of diseases for society is currently
underestimated. Meanwhile, erased and latent forms of nephropathies are increasingly
common in childhood, diagnosed late and early leading to the formation of chronic kidney
disease (CKD) and CRF (15,13). The origins of CKD in the adult population often also
go back to childhood.
