Journal Article
Advances in pediatric acute kidney injury
2022
Overview
The objective of this study was to inform the pediatric nephrologists of recent advances in acute kidney injury (AKI) epidemiology, pathophysiology, novel biomarkers, diagnostic tools, and management modalities. Studies were identified from PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar for topics relevant to AKI. The bibliographies of relevant studies were also reviewed for potential articles. Pediatric (0–18 years) articles from 2000 to May 2020 in the English language were included. For epidemiological outcomes analysis, a meta-analysis on data regarding AKI incidence, mortality, and proportion of kidney replacement therapy was performed and an overall pooled estimate was calculated using the random-effects model. Other sections were created highlighting pathophysiology, novel biomarkers, changing definitions of AKI, evolving tools for AKI diagnosis, and various management modalities. AKI is a common condition seen in hospitalized children and the diagnosis and management have shown to be quite a challenge. However, new standardized definitions, advancements in diagnostic tools, and the development of novel management modalities have led to increased survival benefits in children with AKI.ImpactThis review highlights the recent innovations in the field of AKI, especially in regard to epidemiology, pathophysiology, novel biomarkers, diagnostic tools, and management modalities.
