Assessment of Kidney Function in Survivors Following Fontan Palliation

Abstract

Ten percent of long-term survivors post-Fontan palliation had eGFR <90 ml/min/1.73 m² , and higher median parathyroid hormone levels compared to controls. Taken together, these measures may indicate early kidney disease. Future studies will focus on longitudinal assessment of kidney function and evaluation of risk factors for CKD post-Fontan palliation.
