JengkoL intoxication is well-known in Indonesia. We report a series of 39 parents with jengkol intoxication admitted to the Department of Child Health Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, during the period of 1984 through 1993. Patients ranged in age from 3 to 14 years. The male to female ratio of all cases was 1.8 to 1 but the ratio of patients suffering from acute renal failure was 5.7 to 1. Oliguria or anuria presented in all cases with acute renal failure. Three patients underwent peritoneal dialysis which gave rapid improvement; 2 patients had died due to acute renal failure before dialysis could be performed. When compared with previous reports, it seems that the admission for jengkol intoxication has been declining. Change in the way of consuming the bean and increasing number of hospitals in Jakarta may be responsible for the decline of cases admitted.

Objectives: Renal failure (RF) is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. its management still remains challenging for treating physicians. Acute peritoneal dialysis (APD) is an option for treatment of renal failure among young children. We aimed to determine the efficacy of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in RF among children admitted. Study Design: Case series study. Setting: Nephrology Department of Children’s Hospital and Institute of Child Health, Multan. Period: February 2018 to July 2018. Material & Methods: A total of 74 children with renal failure were included. All the patients were treated with acute peritoneal dialysis. The outcome of interest was clinical and biochemical improvement. Result: Amongst all there were 46 (62.2%) male and 26 (37.8%) female. Mean age of the children was found to be 57.72 months. Mean weight of children was 12.36 kg with a standard deviation of 6.4 kg. Most of the children, 43 (58.1%) had acute renal failure (ARF) whereas 31 (41.9%) had chronic renal failure (CRF). With PD, mortality was reported in 22 (29.7%) children. Conclusion: Acute peritoneal dialysis showed good rates of improvement in renal function, so, it should be recommending among children with acute renal failure.

Continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration is a form of renal replacement therapy whereby small molecular weight solutes and water are removed from the blood via convection, alleviating fluid overload and, to a degree, azotemia. It has been used in many adults and several children. However, in patients with multisystem organ dysfunction and acute renal failure, continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration alone may not be sufficient for control of azotemia; intermittent hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis may be undesirable in such unstable patients. Recently, the technique of continuous arteriovenous hemodiafiltration has been used in many severely ill adults. We have used continuous arteriovenous hemodiafiltration in four patients at Children's Hospital Medical Center. Patient 1 suffered perinatal asphyxia and oliguria while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Patients 2 and 4 both had Burkitt lymphoma and tumor lysis syndrome. Patient 3 had septic shock several months after a bone marrow transplant. All had acute renal failure and contraindications to hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. A blood pump was used in three of the four patients, while spontaneous arterial flow was adequate in one. Continuous arteriovenous hemodiafiltration was performed for varying lengths of time, from 11 hours to 7 days. No patient had worsening of cardiovascular status or required increased pressor support during continuous arteriovenous hemodiafiltration. The two survivors (patients 2 and 4) eventually recovered normal renal function. Continuous arteriovenous hemodiafiltration is a safe and effective means of renal replacement therapy in the critically ill child. It may be ideal for control of the metabolic and electrolyte abnormalities of the tumor lysis syndrome.

The dialysis department of the Childrens City Multidisciplinary Clinical Specialized Center for High Medical Technologies has been operating since 1977 and is the only specialized department in the North-West Region of the Russian Federation that provides assistance to children with both acute and chronic renal failure. Peritoneal dialysis is the treatment of choice for children with acute renal failure, the most common cause of which is hemolytic-uremic syndrome. Despite widely used measures to improve the results of peritoneal dialysis, complications are extremely common. The article analyzes the complications of peritoneal dialysis in children with acute renal failure who were treated in a hospital from 2008 to 2018. The emphasis in the study is on the analysis of complications of peritoneal dialysis, in the treatment of which the surgeon actively participated or should have taken part in. If the problem of acute renal failure is multidisciplinary in the sense that it requires the participation of nephrologists, resuscitators, infectious disease specialists, then if necessary, renal replacement therapy requires the surgeon to become not only a specialist providing access, but also a full-fledged participant in the treatment process. As follows from the foregoing, the surgeons actions depend not only on the quality of dialysis, but also the timeliness and adequacy of treatment of complications, which ultimately improves or worsens the quality of medical care in general.

Background Acute renal failure (ARF) is an emergency conditionwith a high mortality rate despite the long-known dialysis and ad-vanced supportive care. Only few studies on prognostic factors ofARF in children are available in the literature, which are difficult tocompare to each other due to the different definitions of the ARFoutcome used.Objective To find out the clinical and laboratory characteristics ofchildren with acute renal failure and the prognostic factors affect-ing the outcome.Methods This observational prospective study was conducted onchildren with acute renal failure hospitalized in the Department ofChild Health, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, between July andDecember 2001. Patients with acute on chronic renal failure wereexcluded. Clinical and laboratory data were taken at the time ofdiagnosis and the outcomes were noted after 2 weeks of observa-tion. We classified the outcome as cured, uncured, and dead. Ana-lytical study was done to find out the relationships among variousprognostic factors.Results Fifty-six children with ARF were recruited in this study.Male to female ratio was 1.3:1; the mean age was 4.4 year-old.The most frequent presenting symptom was dyspnea (34%), fol-lowed by oliguria (29%). The most frequent primary disease wasmalignancy (20%). Most of the patients had renal-type of ARF(73%). The outcomes were cure (71%), no cure (16%), and death(13%). Bivariate analysis and logistic regression revealed thatyounger age (OR=13.6; 95%CI 1.01;183.60) and the need for di-alysis (OR=10; 95%CI 1.53;65.97) had significant relationships withmortality or no cure.Conclusion We should be aware when finding ARF patientsless than 5 year-old and have the indications for dialysis, due tothe poor prognosis they might have
