Zusammenfassung: | Background
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in preterm neonates is associated with poor outcomes that may worsen in the setting of recurrent episodes of AKI. This study defines and studies the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of recurrent AKI (rAKI).
Methods
Retrospective chart review of the neonates born at a gestational age of ≤28 weeks admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) between January 2014 and December 2018. We identified AKI based on the serum creatinine (Scr) concentrations using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. rAKI was defined as the occurrence of AKI after Scr from the prior AKI had returned to baseline.
Results
Forty-nine of the 205 (24%) preterm neonates developed rAKI. An earlier diagnosis ( |
