| Abstract | ||
| Background: Over the last decade, the nephrology and critical care communities have repeatedly shown that acute kidney injury (AKI) in children and adults portends poor short-term and long-term outcomes independent of severity of illness. Objective: This study aimed to assess the incidence of acute kidney injury in mechanically ventilated patients in pediatric intensive care unit. Patients and Methods: This study was prospective cohort study, which conducted on 120 mechanically ventilated patients admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Zagazig University Hospital. We described acute kidney injury by using PRIFLF criteria and Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) was measured. Results: About 54 % of patients developed AKI. Mean value of length of hospital stay (days) was significantly higher among AKI than in non-AKI. Mean value of NGAL was significantly higher between AKI and No AKI. Conclusion: About half patients developed AKI. Creatinin was significantly higher among AKI. Urine output was significantly lower among AKI. Length of hospital stay and NGAL was significantly higher among AKI and No AKI. | ||
