Objective: Fanconi aplastic anemia (FAA) is a rare genetic disease that causes bone marrow failure. It is the most common bone marrow failure syndrome among the hereditary bone marrow failure syndromes. Genitourinary system anomalies occur in about one third of patients with FAA. Renal malformations that can lead to end stage chronic kidney disease can be one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in these patients and requires detailed review.
Material and Methods: In order to evaluate genitourinary system malformations in FAA patients, eleven FAA patients who were diagnosed with bone marrow aspiration and mutation analysis, accompanied by genitourinary system anomalies, and followed at Cukurova University Department of Pediatric Hematology were retrospectively analyzed, The presence of genitourinary system anomalies were detected by renal ultrasonography, dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy and voiding cystourethrogram.
Results: Five of the eleven patients with FAA were girls (45.5%) and six of them were boys (54.5%). Seven patients (63.6%) had bilateral vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and one patient (9%) had unilateral VUR. Four patients (36.4%) had unilateral renal agenesis and two patients (18.2%) had an ectopic kidney. Three patients (27.2%) had neurogenic bladder requiring clean intermittent catheterization. One of the patients had a penile deformity and urethral stricture.
Six of the patients had an estimated glomerular filtration rate lower than 90 ml/min/1.73 m2. One of them had end stage chronic kidney disease and was receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis treatment.
Conclusion: FAA is a constitutional aplastic anemia and is often seen in the first decade of life. Among the congenital defects associated with FAA, genitourinary malformations are quite common. In our study, the most common genitourinary anomaly was vesicoureteral reflux and found in 72.7% of the 11 FAA patients. The presence of a renal abnormality in these patients is also a risk factor after bone marrow transplantation and may lead to acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. These patients should therefore be carefully assessed.
Amaç: Fankoni Aplastik Anemisi (FAA) kemik iliği yetmezliğine yol açan nadir görülen bir genetik hastalıktır. Kalıtsal kemik iliği yetmezliği sendromları arasında en sık görülendir. FAA’li hastaların yaklaşık üçte birinde genitoüriner sistem anomalileri görülmektedir. Bu anomaliler bu hastalardaki morbidite ve mortalitenin ana nedenlerinden birisi olan kronik böbrek hastalığına neden olabileceğinden dolayı ayrıntılı olarak araştırılmalıdır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: FAA’lı hastalarda genitoüriner malformasyonları değerlendirmek amacıyla Çukurova Üniversitesi Çocuk Hematoloji Bölümünde takip edilen, kemik iliği aspirasyonu ve mutasyon analizi ile tanı konmuş ve eşlik eden genitoüriner sistem anomalisi saptanan 11 hasta geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Hastalarda genitoüriner sistem anomalileri varlığı renal ultrasonografi, dimerkaptosüksinik asit (DMSA) sintigrafisi ve voiding sistoüretrogram ile tespit edildi.
Bulgular: Genitoüriner sistem anomalisi olan FAA tanılı 11 hastanın 5’i (%45.5) kız, 6’sı (%54.5) erkekti. Yedisinde (%63.6) iki taraflı vezikoüreteral reflü (VUR), birinde (%9) tek taraflı VUR, dördünde (%36.4) tek taraflı renal agenezi, ikisinde (%18.2) ektopik böbrek, tespit edildi. Üç hastada (%27.2) temiz aralıklı kateterizasyon gerektiren nörojenik mesane saptandı. Bir hastada ise penil deformite ve üretral darlık vardı. Hastaların altısında (%54.5) tahmini glomerüler filtrasyon hızı (eGFR)<90ml/dk/1.73m2’di. Bir hastaya ise son dönem kronik böbrek hastalığı nedeniyle periton diyalizi yapılmaktaydı.
Sonuç:Fankoni aplastik anemisi yapısal bir aplastik anemi olup sıklıkla yaşamın ilk on yılında görülür. FAA ile ilgili doğumsal defektler arasında genitoüriner malformasyonlar oldukça sık görülür. Bizim çalışmamızda 11 Fankoni aplastik anemili hastada en sık rastlanan genitoüriner anomali %72.7 oranında vezikoüreteral reflü olarak belirlendi. Hastalarda renal anormallik bulunması FAA tedavisi için kemik iliği transplantasyonu yapılması durumunda gelişebilecek akut böbrek hasarı ve kronik böbrek hastalığı için risk faktörüdür ve dikkatli bir şekilde değerlendirilmelidir.

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.
