Abstract

Pediatric nephrologists in North America care for children who have a wide variety of acute and chronic kidney diseases. Two registries provide insight into the current state of chronic kidney disease in pediatric patients: the North American Pediatric Renal Trials Cooperative Study (NAPRTCS), previously called the North American Pediatric Renal Transplant Cooperative Study; and the United States Renal Data System (USRDS), which produces an annual report on end stage renal disease that includes pediatric patients.
