Acute kidney injury in the pediatric cardiac patient PEDIATRIC ANESTHESIA Axelrod, D. M., Sutherland, S. M. 2014; 24 (9): 899-901

Abstract

In summary, AKI after pediatric congenital cardiac surgery represents an important diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in the modern day intensive care unit. AKI in the immediate postoperative period not only portends a poor short-term outcome, but also may relate to chronic kidney disease and mortality in the long term. Its association with increased morbidity, cost, and mortality demands the attention of clinicians and researchers. Future studies should employ a standard AKI definition and should focus on both the mitigation and prevention of AKI events.
