Diagnostic Considerations
Unexplained anemia or short stature is sometimes the only presentation in a child with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A high index of suspicion is required for early diagnosis.
Differential Diagnoses

-
Major clinical predictors to be used for the perioperative management of a patient with chronic renal failure. CHF = congestive heart failure.
-
Intermediate clinical predictors to be used for the perioperative management of a patient with chronic renal failure. CHF = congestive heart failure; METs = metabolic equivalents of task; MI = myocardial infarction.
-
Minor clinical predictors to be used for the perioperative management of a patient with chronic renal failure. ECG = electrocardiogram; METs = metabolic equivalents of task.
-
Hands of a transfusion-dependent patient on long-term hemodialysis. Several uremia-related cutaneous disorders are visible. The pigmentary alteration results from retained urochromes and hemosiderin deposition. The large bullae are consistent with either porphyria cutanea tarda or the bullous disease of dialysis. All nails show the distal brown-red and proximal white coloring of half-and-half nails.
