Background and objectives The complexity of CKD management in children is increased by the number of comorbid conditions. This study assessed the prevalence of comorbidities in pediatric CKD and the frequency with which multiple comorbidities present together by assessing prevalent medication use by CKD stage and diagnosis and their association with clinical or sociodemographic factors. The association between number and frequency of dosing of medications prescribed and self-report of nonadherence was also assessed.Design, setting, participants, & measurements In this cross-sectional analysis of the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children study, medication use at study entry grouped by indication was examined by CKD stage, diagnosis, age, race, ethnicity, income, and CKD duration. Multivariate adjusted predictors of medication use and clustering were examined. Nonadherence was assessed by self-report of missed medications in the past 7 days.Results The 558 eligible participants had a median age of 11 years and median GFR of 44 ml/min per 1.73 m(2); 62% of participants were male and 78% had nonglomerular kidney disease. The number of medications for treatment of CKD comorbidities increased with advanced CKD stage (2.5-fold for stages IV versus II; P
