Article Synopsis
- The study examines the long-term effects of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), focusing on kidney abnormalities and blood pressure issues after 6 years.
- Researchers found that 25% of the 277 children had AKI, with those who experienced stage 2/3 AKI having significantly higher odds of developing chronic kidney disease signs and elevated blood pressure.
- The findings indicate that kidney and blood pressure problems are prevalent years after PICU admission and are linked to prior AKI, highlighting the need for further research to improve follow-up care and reduce health risks.
