Evaluation of acute kidney injury in preterm infants using serum creatinine decline in comparison with KDIGO criteria - Pediatric Nephrology Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is commonly observed in critically ill neonates; however, early identification of AKI in the first week of life is challenging due to the influence of maternal…

📉 NICU preterms (<32 wks): serum creatinine-decline (‘Gupta’) rule spotted 35 % extra #AKI vs KDIGO. Gupta AKI linked to longer stay + ↑BPD; KDIGO AKI to higher mortality. Adding SCr decline may boost early detection & outcomes. #PedsNeph doi.org/10.1007/s004...

Bright spot amidst the doom: 5yo’s team of specialists agree he is STABLE. And doing WELL.

Uroflow normal.
Kidneys are stable.
Left kidney is NOT showing any signs of increased damage. 🙌
eGFR stable.
All other metrics? You guessed it: STABLE!!!

We celebrate ALL of this.

Long shot, but posting here for expert input.

Margin of error on pediatric kidney ultrasound measurements over time? E.g. 4 sequential U/S lengths within 18 months… is 0.5cm (decrease) within margin of error?

Different techs.

Caregiver Awareness and Knowledge of AKI in Hospitalized Children This cross-sectional analyzes knowledge of acute kidney disease (AKI) diagnosis and associated risks among caregivers of hospitalized children.

Celebrating @jamacurrent.bsky.social joining 🦋 by highlighting a recently paper from our group, spearheaded by #pedsneph fellow Dr. Shrea Goswami @iupedskidney.bsky.social and med student Julia Vanderkolk.

We sought to answer the question "how often do families and patients with AKI know?"

Everyone (including nephrologists): Vaccines are the best.
Only nephrologists:…and also we’re getting better at treating acute GN!
#nephsky #pedsneph

What did we do? We took publicly available data from the RIVUR study (foundational #pedsneph study looking at reflux and febrile UTIs) at looked at intra-patient GFR changes. Previous analysis had looked at POOLED (or population wide changes) but no one had looked at what happens WITHIN a patient.

Congrats to these three amazing humans on finishing up your peds neph clinical year!! So happy to celebrate you thanks to some of our MVP attendings including @IsaAshoor1. Can’t wait to see what you do in your research time and excited to take over for you soon! #pedsneph

For me the practice of administering albumin with diuretics is not supported by the literature. Likely because I think the overfill theory predominates.

The exception may be in patients (particularly children) with minimal change disease (#pedsneph twitter can help me out here)
