Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin Values in Preterm Neonates: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objective:  Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in hospitalized preterm neonates. Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) is a promising noninvasive AKI biomarker. However, normal values of uNGAL in preterm neonates without AKI are poorly characterized.

Kidney Health Monitoring in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Graduates: A Modified Delphi Consensus Statement.

Importance: Kidney disease is common in infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Despite the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in infants discharged from the NICU, neither evidence- nor expert-based recommendations exist to guide clinical care after discharge.

Objective: To develop recommendations for risk stratification and kidney health monitoring among infants after discharge from the NICU.

Characteristics and outcomes of children ≤ 10 kg receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy: a WE-ROCK study.

Background: Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) is often used for acute kidney injury (AKI) or fluid overload (FO) in children ≤ 10 kg. Intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in children ≤ 10 kg reported by the prospective pediatric CRRT (ppCRRT, 2001-2003) registry was 57%. We aimed to evaluate characteristics associated with ICU mortality using a contemporary registry.
