Abstract

Background: We developed the KoreaN cohort study for Outcomes in patients With Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-Ped CKD) as a subcohort of KNOW-CKD to investigate the different characteristics of pediatric CKD between countries and races. Methods: Children aged younger than 18 years with stage 1 ~ 5 CKD were recruited at seven major pediatric nephrology centers in Korea. Blood and urine samples, as well as demographic and clinical data, were collected. From 2011 to 2016, 458 children were enrolled, and the baseline profiles of 437 children were analyzed. Results: The median age of the cohort was 10.9 years old, and 68.0% were males. The median estimated glomerular filtration rate was 53.1 mL/min/1.73 m2. The most common etiology of CKD was congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (42.6%), followed by glomerulopathies (25.6%). Conclusion: We report a cross-sectional analysis of the overall baseline characteristics such as age, CKD stage, and underlying kidney disease of the KNOW-Ped CKD. The cohort will be longitudinally followed for ten years.
