Wean Children Away from Junk Food to Stem Rising Chronic Renal Failure
Besides congenital anomalies, the commonly seen condition in youngsters is tubulo-interstitial nephritis, a kidney disease caused by damage to the tubules of the kidneys and the surrounding interstitial tissue.
Among the risk factors for chronic renal failure, now referred to as Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD), are sedentary lifestyle, a high calorie diet, uncontrolled hypertension and injudicious use of drugs such as nephrotoxic medicines, antibiotics or risky drug combinations.
While there is no precise data on the incidence of renal diseases in children, paediatric nephrologists assume that kidney-related problems constitute roughly 5 per cent of all diseases among children, reports The Hindu.
And, an estimated 10 per cent of these disorders could be congenital anomalies which, if untreated by an expert, could lead to serious kidney problems in adulthood. However, experts reckon that the magnitude will be higher than this conservative estimate as a result of wrong diagnosis and under-reporting.
The incidence of obesity among school students in Chennai is rising, going by a recent study by M. V. Hospital for Diabetes.The findings indicate obesity incidence of 18 per cent in the higher socio-economic strata and about 7.5 per cent in the lower socio-economic segment, said Vijay Viswanathan, diabetologist and managing director of the hospital.
