Pediatric Renal Emergencies: Presentations and Outcomes at Sohag University Hospitals

Renal diseases in children present with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from mild urinary abnormalities to severe acute kidney injury requiring urgent management. Early recognition in the emergency setting is essential to improve outcomes, yet data on pediatric renal emergencies in Upper Egypt remain limited.

This prospective cohort study aims to characterize the clinical presentations of renal diseases among children presenting to the emergency room at Sohag University Hospitals, determine the prevalence of specific renal conditions, and evaluate immediate management outcomes and short-term follow-up after discharge.

Primary outcomes

Frequency of Clinical Presentations and Final Diagnoses of Pediatric Renal Diseases

Time frame: At baseline (emergency room presentation) through hospital stay (up to discharge, typically within 7 days)

Percentage (%) of patients presenting with specific clinical features (e.g., edema, hematuria, oliguria, hypertension) assessed by clinical examination and initial laboratory investigations.

Distribution (%) of final diagnoses (e.g., acute kidney injury, urinary tract infection, congenital anomalies, glomerular diseases) based on clinical evaluation, laboratory results, and imaging studies.
