Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving procedure used in neonates,
children, and adults with severe, reversible, cardiopulmonary failure. On the basis of single-…

Conclusion The KDIGO AKI guideline represents an important advance in synthesizing evidence
about the identification and management of AKI; however, it also highlights many areas …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) in children is associated with increased mortality and prolonged
length of hospital stay and may also be associated with long-term chronic kidney disease …

Objectives : The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that, without diagnostic changes
in serum creatinine, increased neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels …

BACKGROUND: Critically ill children with hemodynamic instability and acute kidney injury
often develop fluid overload. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has emerged as …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of cardiac surgery and increases morbidity
and mortality. The identification of reliable biomarkers that allow earlier diagnosis of AKI …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs commonly after pediatric cardiac surgery and associates
with poor outcomes. Biomarkers may help the prediction or early identification of AKI, …

Introduction Serum creatinine is a late marker of acute kidney injury (AKI). Urine neutrophil
gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) is an early marker of AKI, where the timing of kidney …

Objective: Investigate the association between fluid overload and oxygenation while controlling
for severity of illness by daily Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction scores. Design and …

Objective: To determine the incidence, severity, and risk factors of acute kidney injury in
children undergoing cardiac surgery for congenital heart defects. Design: Prospective …
