Abstract

Children with mild to moderate chronic kidney disease are at an increased risk for cardiovascular sequelae, the leading cause of death in children with end stage renal disease. We aimed to establish the prevalence of aortic dilatation, a newly recognized cardiovascular sequelae of renal disease, within a cohort of pediatric patients with mild to moderate kidney disease.
