Purpose We aimed to describe patient characteristics, indications for renal replacement
therapy (RRT), and outcomes in children requiring RRT. We hypothesized that fluid …

PURPOSE: Acute kidney injury in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is associated with
significant morbidity, with continued mortality greater than 50%. Previous studies have …

Objectives: There is an increased mortality risk in critically ill children who require renal
replacement therapy for acute kidney injury and fluid overload. Nevertheless, renal …

Background. Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in up to 30% of pediatric intensive care unit
(PICU) patients and is associated with a high mortality rate. Objectives. The objective of the …

Objectives: Although renal replacement therapy is widely used in critically ill children, there
have been few comprehensive population-based studies of its use. This article describes …

During the past 20 years, childhood renal replacement therapy (RRT) and the treatment of
underlying diseases experienced extensive advances. We reviewed the data of our critically …

Objectives: To analyze the epidemiology of pediatric acute kidney injury requiring
continuous renal replacement therapy and identify prognostic factors affecting mortality …

Background Mortality among critically ill children requiring continuous renal replacement
therapy (CRRT) is high. Several factors have been identified as outcome predictors. Many …

Introduction Decreased pediatric survival has been reported with long-duration (> 4 weeks)
continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), though the practice has not been well …

The disease spectrum leading to pediatric renal replacement therapy (RRT) provision has
broadened over the last decade. In the 1980s, intrinsic renal disease and burns constituted …
