Prevalence of and factors associated with Na + /K + imbalances in a population of children hospitalized with febrile urinary tract infection
• The most common Na+/K+ imbalance in children hospitalized with fUTI was hyponatremia (23%), followed by hyperkalemia (6.4%), concurrent hyponatremia and hyperkalemia (2.9%), hypokalemia (0.7%), and hypernatremia (0.4%). • Concurrent hyponatremia and hyperkalemia were mainly associated with CAKUT, while hyponatremia alone correlated with high C-reactive protein and hyperkalemia alone with younger age. In cases of concurrent hyponatremia and hyperkalemia during fUTI, an underlying CAKUT should be suspected.
