"Children with kidney disease suffer from high blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy complications."

Children and adolescent kidney disease patients have also been shown to develop complications such as high blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy like adults.

Based on the results of a cohort study of chronic kidney disease patients, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention created and distributed nutritional guidelines and dietary management data for children and adolescent kidney disease patients.

Since 2011, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has tracked and observed 560 pediatric patients and confirmed the clinical progress of chronic kidney disease, and adolescent kidney disease patients have complications such as high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and cardiac hypertrophy, just like adults.

In addition, growth-related complications such as delayed growth and abnormal bone metabolism have been found to leave great aftereffects in the long run.

The guidelines are designed to support the proper growth and development of children and adolescent kidney disease patients and the prevention of complications.
