Association of Acute Kidney Injury with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Preterm Infants.

Objective: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is among the most common complications of prematurity and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is also commonly observed in premature infants and significantly increases morbidity and mortality. Studies have shown that systemic changes in AKI may also trigger lung damage.
