A Protocol for the Nigerian Neonatal Acute Kidney Injury Continuum Prospective Study

20231 citationOpen accessUniversity College Hospital, Ibadan

Abstract

Neonatal Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is characterized by a sudden decline in renal function, or a failure of physiologic rise in glomerular filtrate rate, leading to the kidneys' inability to maintain fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.1,2 Despite the significant attention given to the epidemiology of acute kidney injury (AKI) in adult and older paediatric populations, there is a paucity of data on neonatal AKI. There has been a notable lack of focus on the neonatal AKI continuum consisting of acute kidney disease, as well as its progression to chronic kidney disease.
