Background The present study investigates cardiovascular risk and kidney damage in patients with solitary kidneys. Methods Included in the study were 40 children with a unilateral functioning kidney and 60 healthy controls, all of whom were evaluated for carotid intima-media thickness, ischemia-modified albumin and oxidative stress parameters, and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Results Serum creatinine and urine microalbumin levels were higher and creatinine clearance was lower in the patient group than in the control group, and serum ischemia-modified albumin, carotid intima-media thickness, aldosterone, plasma renin activity and blood pressure were all higher in the patient group than in the control group. In addition, the patient group was showed a non-dipper pattern. Conclusion Children with a normal functioning solitary kidney are likely at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and such patients should be followed closely before marked kidney impairment occurs.
