Exploration of the pattern, clinical presentation and outcome of children with renal diseases: A 14-year retrospective study at a teaching hospital in Ghana
Paediatric renal diseases at KBTH were dominated by nephrotic syndrome and AKI. Timely treatment and prevention of common infectious agents and conditions causing intravascular hemolysis, which can contribute to paediatric renal diseases in Ghana, is needed to help reduce their progression to various forms of kidney disease.
