Definition of AKI
 Reduction of GFR to a level insufficient to adequately filter and
excrete solute and water and maintain fluid and electrolyte
balance
 Urine volume below 0.5-1ml/kg/hr after 1st day
 Urine volume is a poor indicator of renal function
 Increased serum creatinine > 1.5mg/dl
 Serum creatinine is a poor indicator of renal function
 Daily rise in serum creatinine of 0.3mg/dL to 0.5 mg/dL?

Incidence and Epidemiology of AKI




Precise incidence and prevalence is unknown
Incidence of AKI in NICU patients is 6-24%
60% non-oliguric / 25% oliguric / 15% anuric
Higher incidence in patients undergoing cardiac
surgery
 More common in neonates with severe asphyxia
 Some infants may have genetic risk factors for
development of AKI

 Single dose theophylline (8mg/kg) in the 1st hour of
birth may prevent AKI in asphyxiated term infants

Summary


AKI is a relatively common among sick infants
 Certain infants are at higher risk
Probably under diagnosed in NICU nurseries
 Non-oliguric presentation is most common
 The diagnosis should follow a stepwise approach




 History
 Physical examination
 Diagnostic evaluations
Clinical knowledge and technological advancements have allowed
for a variety of therapeutic options
Long-term renal follow up is necessary
Management of AKI in infants is challenging but reasonable longterm outcome is now possible
More data is needed
