When Should a Pediatrician Be Concerned About GFR?
Pediatricians should be concerned about GFR when:
- A child has a persistently low GFR, indicating potential chronic kidney disease. - There are signs of acute kidney injury, such as sudden changes in urine output, edema, or elevated serum creatinine. - A child presents with symptoms suggestive of kidney dysfunction, like hypertension, anemia, or growth retardation.
