The challenges of transferring chronic illness patients to adult care: reflections from pediatric and adult rheumatology at a us academic center. The population of adolescents with a chronic health condition that will live into and require care in adulthood will continue to grow as new treatments increase the survival for children who have chronic illnesses. Remission in patients with childhood sle is the least common out of the three most popular childhood rheumatic diseases. Organ damage and chronic renal disease is more common in childhood.
