other congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract. Other etiologies include polycystic kidney
disease, cortical necrosis, and renal vascular thrombosis. Management of CKD focuses primarily on
replacing renal functions such as erythropoietin, 1,25-hydroxylation of vitamin D, electrolyte homeo-
stasis/excretion, and, in ESRD, waste product removal. Nutrition and growth monitoring are of utmost
importance, with the majority of ESRD infants requiring gastrostomy tube for nutrition. Outcomes of
neonates (<31 days) started on dialysis continue to improve, with large cohort studies showing 2e3-year
survival rates of 79e81%. As in other neonatal disciplines, the gestational age and size limits for safe
provision of dialysis continue to decrease.
