  • Title: Proteinuria in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: Making the case for early urinary screening.
    Author: Saha A, Pais P, Iyengar AA, Abraham AK.
    Journal: Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl; 2017; 28(6):1408-1411. PubMed ID: 29265055.
    Abstract:
    Systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SOJIA) can be associated with proteinuria due to various renal pathologies. We report two pediatric cases with SOJIA and nephrotic syndrome secondary to renal amyloidosis, a very rare complication in children. Once present, amyloidosis heralds a poor prognosis for the patient, though early detection may allow some improvement if the inflammatory arthritis is controlled.
