ESPN Highlights: PRNT insights in Paediatric CKD | Future Webinar
Monday 15th June | 3:00–4:30pm (BST)Originally delivered at ESPN Athens 2025, this webinar brings together internationally recognised Paediatric Renal Nutrition Taskforce members to explore two critical and highly practical topics in paediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Enteral feeding – practical issues
Leila Qizalbash (UK) draws on real‑world case studies to explore feeding decisions, growth optimisation, blended diets, gut health, and the lived experience of families managing tube feeding in children with CKD.
- Understand the multifactorial nature of optimising growth in infants and children with CKD
- Appreciate the different devices, regimens and feeds that may be used to provide nutritional support to children with CKD
The burden of processed foods
Pearl Pugh (UK) and Dr Fabio Paglialonga (Italy) examine the impact of ultra‑processed foods (UPFs) on nutrient bioavailability, the gut microbiome, and metabolic burden in paediatric CKD. Drawing on emerging research, they share practical, family‑centred strategies to support meaningful dietary change.
- Explore the rise in UPF consumption and their impact on health
- Explore why we need to support the reduction of UPFs in children with CKD
Chaired by Nonnie Polderman, this webinar provides evidence‑based insights and practical tools for paediatric renal dietitians, nephrologists, and wider HCPs supporting children with chronic kidney disease.
