Abstract

Critically ill neonates are at risk for acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI has been associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality in adult and pediatric patients, and increasing evidence suggests a similar association in the neonatal population. This article describes the current AKI definitions (including their limitations), work on novel biomarkers to define AKI, diagnosis and management strategies, long-term outcomes after AKI, and future directions for much-needed research in this important area.
