Introduction: Pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) develop mineral and bone disorders (MBD). We do not have Brazilian data that evaluate these outcomes, which can be obtained through epidemiological records.

Introdução: Pacientes pediátricos com doença renal crônica (DRC) evoluem com distúrbios minerais e ósseos (DMO). Não dispomos de dados brasileiros que avaliem esses desfechos; que podem ser obtidos por meio de registros epidemiológicos.

RESUMO Objetivos: relacionar as características sociodemográficas com a sorologia para SARS-CoV-2 de menores em hemodiálise e seu cuidador. Métodos: estudo transversal, descritivo, com análise de imunoensaio anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike. Resultados: foram incluídos dez pacientes e seus acompanhantes, antes da vacinação contra COVID-19. A soroprevalência global foi de 25% e 20% entre os pacientes, os quais tiveram média de idade de 11,47 anos, sendo 70% do sexo masculino. Todos os acompanhantes eram mulheres (100%), com idade média de 38,41 anos e 60% de etnia parda. Metade (50%) recebe de 1 a 3 salários mínimos, e 70% gastam mais de duas horas de deslocamento. Quanto à residência, todas (100%) são de alvenaria e com saneamento básico. Conclusões: evidencia-se a importância do rastreamento de casos de COVID-19 como rotina e o impacto das variáveis socioeconômicas na qualidade de vida das crianças e familiares.

Objectives: to relate sociodemographic characteristics with SARS-CoV-2 serology of minors under hemodialysis and their caregivers. Methods: a cross-sectional, descriptive study with anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike immunoassay analysis. Results: ten patients and their companions were included before vaccination against COVID-19. The overall seroprevalence was 25% and 20% among patients, who had a mean age of 11.47 years, 70% of whom were male. All companions were women (100%), with a mean age of 38.41 years and 60% of mixed race. Half (50%) receive between 1 and 3 minimum wages, and 70% spend more than two hours commuting. As for the residences, all (100%) are made of masonry and have basic sanitation. Conclusions: the importance of routine tracking of COVID-19 cases and the impact of socioeconomic variables on the quality of life of children and family members is evidenced.

Objective Investigate pulse wave velocity and central systolic blood pressure among pediatric population with chronic kidney disease. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 57 patients (61.4% male) aged 6.2 to 17.5 years old, 44 with nondialysis chronic kidney disease and 13 on chronic dialysis, were included in the analysis. The pulse wave velocity and the central systolic blood pressure were measured with an oscillometric device with an inbuilt ARC SolverⓇ algorithm and were compared with previously established percentiles.
