<br/><br/> Chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) is an insidious and irreversible condition that eventually progresses to end stage renal failure . It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide . There are very few published reports on the causes of CKD in Egyptian children and especially no multicenter studies . This study is intended to survey the causes of CKD in various pediatric nephrology centers of the University Hospitals in Egypt to come up with a nationwide understanding of the etiology as well as a staging of the patients in these centers
