A cross-sectional study measuring vanadium and chromium levels in paediatric patients with CKD

Conclusions Our study suggests that paediatric patients with CKD have elevated plasma levels of V and Cr. This may be the result of both environmental exposure and a low eGFR. It may be necessary to monitor V and Cr levels in patients with an eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Trial registration number NCT02126293; HC#172241.
