Diagnosing Wilson's disease (WD) in children remains a significant challenge. This study evaluated spot urinary copper/creatinine (Cu/Cr) ratio for paediatric WD diagnosis in Bangladesh. 60 children (30 WD, 30 non-WD by Leipzig criteria) were enrolled, and the spot morning urinary Cu/Cr and 24-hour urinary copper were measured.

Objective: Iodine deficiency (ID) causes a wide range of health issues, from endemic goiter to more subtle effects resulting from reduced thyroid hormone production. The recommended daily iodine intake for adolescents and adults is 150 µg, which corresponds to a median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) of 100-299 µg/L at the population level. Individuals with anorexia nervosa typically suffer from deficiencies in micronutrients and vitamins, but there is little data on iodine status.

Background: A paucity of literature exists on the development of predictive tools for the decline of kidney function in pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD). The objective of this study is to develop and internally validate a tool for the short-term prediction of a kidney function decline in pediatric patients with CKD.
Methods: A total of 539 patients participating in the KNOW-PedCKD (KoreaN cohort study for Outcomes in patients With Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease) were evaluated for 48 variables related to sociodemographic characteristics, laboratory data, and treatment use.

Microvascular changes cause renal fibrosis over time, and increased fibrosis leads to allograft dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to assess renal allograft fibrosis using shear wave elastography (SWE), a contemporary, noninvasive imaging technique. Additionally, we sought to evaluate perfusion and microvascular distribution through diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within the same graft.
