ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Paediatric patients represent a unique challenge for providers managing acute kidney injury (AKI). Critical care for these children requires a precise approach to assessment, diagnostics and management. RECENT FINDINGS:
Primarily based on observational data, large epidemiologic datasets have demonstrated a strong association between AKI prevalence (one in four critically ill children) and poor patient outcome. Drivers of AKI itself are multifactorial and the causal links between AKI and host injury remain incompletely defined, creating a management paradigm primarily supportive in nature. The previous decades of research have focused primarily on elucidating the population-level epidemiologic signal of AKI and use of renal replacement therapy (RRT), but in order to reverse the course of the AKI 'epidemic', future decades will require more attention to the individual patient. A patient-level approach to AKI in children will require sophisticated approaches to risk stratification, diagnostics and targeted utilization of therapies (both supportive and targeted towards drivers of injury).SUMMARY:
In this review, we will summarize the past, present and future of AKI care in children, discussing the ongoing work and future goals of a personalized approach to AKI medicine.
