The UK Renal Registry currently collects information on UK children with kidney failure requiring long-term kidney replacement therapy (KRT), which supports disease surveillance and auditing of care and outcomes; however, data are limited on children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) not on KRT.MethodsIn March 2020, all UK Paediatric Nephrology centres submitted data on children aged 2.ResultsIn total, 1031 children had severe CKD, the majority of whom (80.7%) were on KRT. The overall prevalence was 81.2 (95% CI 76.3 to 86.3) per million of the age-related population.ConclusionsThe prevalence of severe CKD among UK children is largely due to a high proportion of children on long-term KRT. Expanding data capture to include children with CKD before reaching failure will provide greater understanding of the CKD burden in childhood. |
