The mini-PET in pediatric peritoneal dialysis: a useful tool to predict volume overload?
This study characterized FWT in PD children through the mini-PET. Left ventricular hypertrophy showed a high prevalence in this group, and a significant correlation between LVMI and FWT was found. FWT could be a useful tool to evaluate UF in PD children.
Child Health Service professionals facing vulnerable children document parental health issues and interaction with healthcare, but they fail to document living conditions thereby making social structures invisible in the health records. The child perspective is insufficiently integrated in the documentation and serious child protection needs remain unmet, if professionals avoid reporting to Social Services.
