Amaç: Renal transplantlı hastaların takibinde anemi yaygın görülmektedir. Renal transplantlı çocuklarda görülen anemi hakkında yeterli bilgi bulunmamaktadır.Bu çalışmanın amacı; transplantasyon sonrası çocuklarda kısa ve uzun dönemde ortaya çıkan aneminin risk faktörlerini ve prevalansını değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, Ege Üniversitesi’ndeki böbrek nakilli çocuklarda yapılmıştır. Hematokrit düzeyinin yaşa göre 2 standart deviasyon altında olması anemi olarak tanımlanmıştır.Bulgular: Erken post transplant dönemde anemi insidansı %18 bulundu. Geç post transplant dönemde ortalama olarak 60 ayda %27.5 oranda anemi saptandı. Anemi insidansı post transplant 24.36,48 ve 60. aylarda sırasıyla %18.4, %23.3, %23 ve %27.5 bulundu. Takip süresince herhangi bir zamanda 71 (%67.6) hastada en az bir kez anemi tespit edildi. Transplantasyon sonrası herhangi bir dönemde kullanılan ACE inhibitörü ile anemi arasında ilişki saptanmadı. Donör tipi ve yaşı ile geç anemi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı. Diğer yandan, geç dönem anemi rejeksiyon öyküsüyle anlamlı ilişkili bulundu.Sonuç: Renal transplant alıcısı olan çocuklarda tahmini glomerül filtrasyon hızının düşüklüğü, transplantasyon sonrası sürenin uzunluğu ve rejeksiyon atağı anemi için risk faktörleridir.
Objective: Anemia is commonly observed during the follow-ups of patients with renal transplantation. There is not enough information on anemia observed in children with renal transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of anemia in children with renal transplantation on the short and long-term posttransplantation period.Material and Methods: This study was performed in children who underwent renal transplant at Ege University. Anemia was defi ned as having a value less than 2 Standard Deviation for hematocrit levels according to age.Results: In the early post-transplant period, the incidence of anemia was found as 18%. Late post transplant anemia rate was detected as 27.5% at 60 months. The incidence of anemia was 18.4%, 23.3%, 23% and 27.5%, at 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after transplantation, respectively. Anemia was detected at least once in 71 (67.6%) patients at any point of the follow-up period. There was no correlation between Angiotensin Converting Enzyme inhibitor therapy and anemia at any post-transplant time. Donor type and donor age were not signifi cantly associated with late anemia. On the other hand, late anemia was signifi cantly associated with a history of rejection. Conclusion: Low estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate, longer duration of post-transplantation and rejection attacks are the risk factors for anemia in pediatric renal transplant recipients

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
