The main cause of morbidity in children is renal illness. The prevention of chronic kidney disease depends heavily on the early detection and treatment of renal illness in children (CKD). Early detection and treatment of these diseases are crucial since many causes of CKD in children, such as congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary system and urinary tract infection, may be prevented. Pediatricians and primary care doctors should be knowledgeable about the different ways that paediatric renal disorders present themselves and should be highly suspicious of any asymptomatic patients. Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), signs and symptoms of renal disease, abnormal urinalysis, urinary tract infection, water, electrolyte, and acid-base disturbances, glomerular disease, renal tubular disorders, hypertension, nephrotic syndrome, and decreased renal function are all possible in patients with renal disease. Pediatricians and primary care doctors may begin the evaluation and treatment of paediatric renal disease depending on how comfortable they are doing so. A paediatric nephrologist should be consulted for patients who require collaboration or invasive tests, have serious renal disease or diminished renal function, or have anxious parents.
