Abstract
Children born with developmental disabilities (DD) are at risk for some common renal manifestations because of their underlying DD. These manifestations include renal stones, hypertension, and recurrent urinary tract infections. Children born with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at risk for DD because of a myriad of issues related to their CKD, including late identification, malnourishment, and metabolic derangements. This article explores both populations from a nephrologic viewpoint.
