Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a complex, multisystem process. There are multiple changes in terms of etiology, development of the process and the complications in adults and children.
The current review discusses the new aspects in the literature in regard to CKD, focusing mainly on the bone changes and physical activity in patients in pediatric population. Renal osteodystrophy is linked not only to decreased bone density, due to decreased production of vitamin D, but also to rickets changes. So far there is no data in the literature for physiotherapy treatment, currently practiced with children with CKD. Studies in recent years pay attention to physical activity in the pediatric population.
