Abstract: It is known that prematurity and low birth weight are associated with chronic kidney disease and hypertension. A positive correlation between kidney volume and birth weight was also described. In our ongoing observational study in 5-year-old children, we perceived highly abnormal kidney ultrasound and functions of a male patient born weighing 370 grams. It was his first nephrology examination since discharge from the hospital. We believe that thorough follow up and timely diagnosis of developing renal insufficiency may help us to initiate proper treatment in high-risk children (Tab. 1, Fig. 1, Ref. 7).
