Conclusions: While gender and genotype are known predictors, this study includes the novel finding of nutritional status as a predictor of TSC-associated kidney disease. This study sheds light on a possible complex interplay of hormonal influences, obesity, and kidney angiomyolipomas growth, and further investigations focusing on the impact of nutritional status on TSC-associated kidney disease are warranted.
What Is Known: • Gender and genotype are well-studied predictive factors in TSC kidney disease.
What Is New: • Nutritional status may influence the development and the progression of kidney lesions in children with TSC and should not be overlooked. • Management guidelines of TSC-associated kidney disease can address nutritional aspects.
