'At my 22-week scan everything looked normal but hours later my world fell apart – I’m sharing my story to help others'
"But they made it very clear, because I already had an infection, that if that infection progressed, they would stop monitoring the baby. At that point, they would just be about saving me."
By then, the situation had deteriorated to the point where Eli had been disconnected from the monitors, as Paloma's infection had progressed, as feared, into bacteremia - when bacteria gets into a person's blood stream - resulting in a fever. "Even though I was told not to push, when the team were outside, I kept saying, 'I feel a lot of pressure - I feel a lot of pressure.'
"Even getting a PICC line [used to administer medication and nutrition] in him was scary. The doctor told me that they had brought in the smallest needle in the country, which was as thin as a piece ofPaloma said that Eli's incredible fight for his life lasted several months, and while he was 'mostly stable', one evening, medics once again feared for his life.

Childhood modifiable risk factors and later life chronic kidney disease: a systematic review - BMC NephrologyBackground Relationships between adulthood modifiable risk factors and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are well-established, but associations with childhood risk factors are unclear. This study systematically assesses the published evidence about childhood modifiable risk factors and adulthood CKD. Methods We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science to 6th May 2022. Articles were included if (1) they were population-based longitudinal studies, (2) exposures were potentially modifiable, for example through pharmacological or lifestyle modifications, including clinical conditions/measures (diabetes, blood pressure, adiposity, and dyslipidaemia); health behaviours (smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, fitness, and poor nutrition); and socio-economic factors (socio-economic position), and occurred during childhood (ages 2–19 years), and (3) outcome was CKD or surrogate markers of CKD in adulthood (ages 20 years or older). Three reviewers independently extracted the data. Results 15,232 articles were identified after deduplication; 17 articles met the inclusion criteria, reporting childhood blood pressure (n = 8), adiposity (n = 4), type 2 diabetes (n = 1), socio-economic position (n = 1), famine (n = 1), cardiorespiratory fitness (n = 1), and a healthy lifestyle score (n = 1). The results suggested positive associations of childhood adiposity, type 2 diabetes, and low socio-economic position and cardiorespiratory fitness in females with CKD in adulthood. Findings were inconsistent on associations between childhood BP and CKD in adulthood. Childhood healthy lifestyle score and exposure to famine were not associated with risk of CKD in adulthood. Conclusions The limited evidence suggests childhood factors may contribute to the CKD risk in adulthood, particularly adiposity, type 2 diabetes, and low socio-economic position and cardiorespiratory fitness in females. Further high-quality community-based studies are needed with long-term follow-up and investigation
