Chronic renal failure: an overview from a pediatric perspective.

abstract：:A 4-year-old girl, who had been in perfect health, presented with the acute onset of renal failure and abdominal mass. Investigations revealed a solitary left kidney which on histology had the typical features of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. The child had no previous history suggestive of chronic renal disease ...
