Renal diseases in children present with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from mild urinary abnormalities to severe acute kidney injury requiring urgent management. Early recognition in the emergency setting is essential to improve outcomes, yet data on pediatric renal emergencies in Upper Egypt remain limited.
This prospective cohort study aims to characterize the clinical presentations of renal diseases among children presenting to the emergency room at Sohag University Hospitals, determine the prevalence of specific renal conditions, and evaluate immediate management outcomes and short-term follow-up after discharge.
