Chronic Implications of an Acute Disease: Long-term Outcomes in Pediatric Acute Kidney Injury Survivors

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common among hospitalized children, especially those receiving intensive care. Diagnosed in the setting of rising serum creatinine levels or the development of oligoanuria, AKI has been associated with poor in-hospital outcomes; children with AKI are more likely to require mechanical ventilation, experience longer lengths of stay, and have higher mortality rates1,2. Although these short-term associations have been well described across a myriad of studies and cohorts, the relationship between AKI and longer-term outcomes is less established.
