Abstract
Targeted management and therapy for acute kidney injury (AKI) remains challenging. Much of the care for pediatric AKI to date remains supportive in nature. Earlier detection of AKI may allow intervention with fluid management measures before AKI is fully established, thus allowing the clinician to move beyond supportive care and improve outcomes. Early identification of patients at risk to develop AKI, optimizing fluid and electrolyte status, and avoidance of nephrotoxins are key points in early goal directed management of AKI. Fluid overloaded states may develop in AKI and early renal replacement therapy should be strongly considered to ameliorate and/or allow for correction of volume disturbance and metabolic derangement and permit adequate nutrition to the critically ill pediatric patient.
