Evolución a largo plazo de los niños tratados con técnicas de depuración extrarrenal continua / Long-term outcomes of children treated with continuous renal replacement therapy

INTRODUCCIÓN: El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la evolución a largo plazo y la función renal de los niños que han requerido técnicas de depuración extrarrenal continua (TDEC) tras un daño renal agudo. PACIENTES Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo sobre una base de datos prospectiva en 128 pacientes que requirieron TDEC durante su ingreso en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátrica (UCIP) durante los años 2006 a 2012. Se analizó la evolución de los pacientes que sobrevivieron al alta de la UCIP. RESULTADOS: Setenta y uno de los 128 niños tratados con TDEC, un 54,4%, sobrevivió al alta y se realizó el seguimiento en 66 de ellos (92,9%). Tres pacientes presentaban insuficiencia renal crónica previa al ingreso en UCIP. De los 63 pacientes restantes, 6 presentaron alteración de la función renal prolongada o recaídas, pero solo un paciente con un síndrome hemolítico-urémico atípico quedó en insuficiencia renal terminal, presentando el resto una función renal normal en la última revisión. CONCLUSIONES: La mayoría de los niños que precisan TDEC y que sobreviven al episodio agudo presentan una buena evolución posterior con baja mortalidad y recuperación de la función renal a medio plazo

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study is to analyze long-term outcomes and kidney function in children requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) after an acute kidney injury episode. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective observational study was performed using a prospective database of 128 patients who required CRRT admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit between years 2006 and 2012. The subsequent outcomes were assessed in those surviving at hospital discharge. RESULTS: Of the 128 children who required RRT in the pediatric intensive care unit, 71 survived at hospital discharge (54.4%), of whom 66 (92.9%) were followed up. Three patients had chronic renal failure prior to admission to the NICU. Of the 63 remaining patients, 6 had prolonged or relapses of renal function disturbances, but only one patient with atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome developed end-stage renal failure. The rest had normal kidney function at the last check-up. CONCLUSIONS: Most of surviving children that required CRRT have a positive outcome later on, presenting low mortality rates and recovery of kidney function in the medium term
