  1. Infant Acute Kidney Injury Maricor Grio, MD, MS Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children Orlando, Florida Maricor.Grio@orlandohealth.com

  2. Infant AKI • How common is this problem? • What are the causes? • Who are the patients at risk? • What are the prevention and treatment options? • What are the long term consequences?

  3. Definition of AKI • Reduction of GFR to a level insufficient to adequately filter and excrete solute and water and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance • Urine volume below 0.5-1ml/kg/hr after 1st day • Urine volume is a poor indicator of renal function • Increased serum creatinine > 1.5mg/dl • Serum creatinine is a poor indicator of renal function • Daily rise in serum creatinine of 0.3mg/dL to 0.5 mg/dL?

  4. Creatinine Clearance According to Gestational Age Chevalier.J Urol.1996:156

  42. Renal Replacement Modality Beisha et al. Pediatr. Nephrol.1995

  43. Access less of a problem No special equipment needed Can be done by NICU nurses Can be done in pts of all size Less need for blood products No need for anticoagulation Gradual change in volume and electrolyte composition Relatively few if any contraindications Recent abdominal surgery Ostomies V-P shunt? Peritonitis? Peritoneal scarring Abnormal anatomy Modality of choice for infants with ESRD Peritoneal Dialysis

  44. Hemodialysis in Infants Less Than 5Kg • 216 acute hemodialysis treatments 1980-1991 • 33 pts (32-43wks) with wt of 2.2-4kg / total of 216 treatments • Age 2-120 days (median 10 days) • Indications for hemodialysis • Hyperammonemia (8pts) • Intrinsic or primary renal disease (7pts) • Acute kidney injury (18pts) • Hemodialysis Access • 7 Fr double lumen catheter (49%) • ECMO circuit (24%) • Umbilical vessels (27%) Jabs et al. KI.Vol45.1994.903-906

  45. Hemodialysis in Infants Less Than 5Kg • 9 Rx discontinued prematurely • Hypotension • Technical problems • Mortality not influenced • Weight • # of HD treatments % survival Jabs et al. KI.Vol45.1994.903-906

  46. Who are the non-candidates for RRT? • Severe neurological injury • Inoperable life threatening congenital heart disease • Severe lung disease • Severe congenital anomalies • Extreme prematurity? • Anticipated mortality? • Parents wishes need to be considered • The decision needs to be individualized • Close communication with parents is important

  47. Factors Influential in Deciding to initiate ESRD in Infants 217 Pediatric Nephrologist Around the World Family socioeconomic status 1.8 + 1.7 1.7 + 1.7 Hospital / Government budget 0.5 +1.1 0.5 + 0.9 Family’s right to decide 3.7 + 1.3 4.0 + 1.2 Doctor’s right to decide 2.9 + 1.3 3.0 + 1.3 Coexistent serious medical abnormalities 4.8 + 0.6 4.8 + 0.5 Anticipated morbidity for child 4.1 + 1.2 4.3 + 1.0 Presence of oliguria 1.8 + 1.8 1.9 + 1.9 No influence = 0 Strong influence = 5 Responses 1-12 mo (x + SD) Geary et al. J Pediatr.1998:133:154

  48. If parents reject RRT for otherwise normal infants with ESRD, is this USUALLY or EVER ethically acceptable to you ? Usually acceptable Ever acceptable < 1mo 1-12mo < 1mo 1-12mo Canada 6/11 2/16 11/12 11/16 France 4/7 3/10 5/7 8/11 Germany 13/19 11/25 19/19 18/25 Holland 1/3 0/3 3/3 3/3 Italy 0/5 0/7 2/6 0/7 Japan 3/11 2/13 3/11 3/13 UK 19/26 5/26 25/26 20/25 USA 38/88 24/93 71/89 59/98 Unidentified 3/4 0/6 3/3 4/6 Total 87/174 49/199 142/176 126/204 Geary et al.

  49. Infant AKI • How common is this problem? • What are the causes? • Who are the patients at risk? • What are the prevention and treatment options? • What are the long term consequences?

  50. Outcome and Prognosis • Highly dependent on the etiology of AKI • Factors associated with poor prognosis • Multiorgan system failure • Hypotension / hemodynamic instability • Need for pressors • RDS with need for mechanical ventilation • Oligoanuria and need for dialysis • Overall mortality 10-61% • Nephron loss can lead to long-term complications • Proteinuria • Hypertension • Chronic renal insufficiency
