Abstract

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı, çocuk romatoloji polikliniğine başvuran hastaların üriner sistem bulgularının sıklığını, bu bulguların romatolojik tanılarla ilişkisini ve klinik seyrini değerlendirmektir.
Yöntem: 2020–2025 yılları arasında çocuk romatoloji polikliniğine başvuran 4123 hastanın dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Üriner sistem semptom ve/veya bulgusu olan 366 hastadan, romatolojik tanısı olmayan ve ek sistemik hastalığı bulunan 188 hasta çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Kalan 178 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Demografik veriler, laboratuvar bulguları, ve üriner sistem ultrasonografileri değerlendirilerek analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Hastaların %61,8’i kız, %38,2’si erkekti ve ortanca yaş 133 (Çeyrekler arası aralık: 88) aydı. En sık rastlanan romatolojik tanılar Ailevi Akdeniz Ateşi (n=66, %37,1), immunoglobulin A vasküliti/Henoch-Schönlein purpurası (IgAV/HSP) (%23,6) ve juvenil idiyopatik artrit (%8,4) idi. Proteinüri (%22,5), hematüri (%20,8) ve lökositüri (%12,4) en yaygın idrar bulgularıydı. 75 hastada (%42,1) üriner sistem ultrasonografide patoloji saptandı. Renal tutulumun en sık sistemik lupus eritematosus ve IgAV/HSP ile ilişkili olduğu belirlendi. Kreatinin düzeylerinde genel olarak stabil seyir izlenirken, bazı hastalarda kalıcı fonksiyon bozuklukları tespit edildi.
Sonuç: Çocukluk çağı romatolojik hastalıklarında nefrolojik tutulum önemli bir klinik sorundur. Bu bulgular primer romatolojik hastalıkla ilişkili olabileceği gibi, bağımsız nedenlere de bağlı olabilir. Erken tanı ve multidisipliner yaklaşım, renal komplikasyonların önlenmesinde kritik rol oynamaktadır.

At the Intersection of Pediatric Rheumatology and Pediatric Nephrology: Management of Diseases Requiring Joint Follow-up

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the frequency of nephrological findings, their relationship with rheumatologic diagnoses, and clinical course in patients presenting to a pediatric rheumatology outpatient clinic.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 4123 patients who visited the pediatric rheumatology clinic between 2020 and 2025. Among 366 patients with nephrological symptoms or findings, 188 without a rheumatologic diagnosis or with additional systemic diseases were excluded. A total of 178 patients were included in the study. Demographic data, laboratory results, and urinary system ultrasonography findings were evaluated.
Results: Of the patients, 61.8% were female and 38.2% male, with a median age of 133 months (Interquartile range: 88). The most common rheumatologic diagnoses were familial Mediterranean fever (37.1%), immunoglobulin A vasculitis/Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (IgAV/HSP) (23.6%), and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (8.4%). Proteinuria (22.5%), hematuria (20.8%), and leukocyturia (12.4%) were the most frequent urinary findings. Pathological findings were detected in renal ultrasonography in 42.1% of patients. Renal involvement was most frequently associated with systemic lupus erythematosus and HSP. While creatinine levels remained stable in most patients, persistent impairment was observed in a few cases.
Conclusion: Renal involvement is a significant clinical issue in pediatric rheumatologic diseases. These findings may be related to the primary disease or arise independently. Early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for preventing renal complications and ensuring optimal management.
