The CAKUT group is phenotypically variable and can affect the kidney alone and\/or the lower urinary tract. The aim of the study was to assess the risk factors for the onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the progression to kidney failure (KF, i.e., the need for dialysis or kidney transplantation) in a cohort of patients with CAKUT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a longitudinal study at the Nephrology, Dialysis, and Transplantation Unit of Annunziata Hospital of Cosenza.

Proteinuria and hypertension were present in 32.2% and 24.1%, respectively, and a high prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTI 56.3%). CAKUT distribution was: 24 bilateral parenchymal abnormalities (BA), 38 renal parenchymal unilateral diseases (PUD), and 25 tubular unilateral diseases (TUD). Proteinuria was more prevalent in BA than in PUD or TUD (54.2% vs 15.8% and 36%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.006), whereas regular growth was less frequent in BA (33.3% vs 81.6% and 88%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). During a median study follow-up of 205\u00a0months, 30 CKD events and 14 KF were registered.
