In resource-constraint regions of the world, the spectrum of childhood diseases is changing, creating a need to clearly define the epidemiology of severe acute kidney injury (AKI).
Medical records of children aged between 1 month and 17 years with stage 3 AKI in a tertiary hospital were reviewed.
Ninety-one children, comprising 63 (69.2%) males and 26 (28.6%) infants, were studied. Majority (75.8%) had stage 3 AKI at the point of hospitalization. Sepsis (41.8%), primary kidney diseases (PKD; 29.7%) and malaria (13.2%) were the most common causes of stage 3 AKI. Twenty-eight (30.8%) children died. Mortality was highest in those with sepsis, less than 5 years old and needing dialysis.
Sepsis, PKD and malaria were the most common causes of severe AKI. A third of children with severe AKI died. Mortality was highest in those less than 5 years old, with sepsis and needing dialysis.
在世界资源受限地区,儿童疾病谱正在发生变化,因此需要明确界定重症急性肾损伤(AKI)的流行病学特征。
回顾了一家三级医院中1个月至17岁患有3期AKI儿童的病历。
共研究了91名儿童,其中包括63名(69.2%)男性和26名(28.6%)婴儿。大多数(75.8%)在住院时即处于3期AKI。脓毒症(41.8%)、原发性肾脏疾病(PKD;29.7%)和疟疾(13.2%)是3期AKI最常见的病因。28名(30.8%)儿童死亡。脓毒症患儿、年龄小于5岁且需要透析的患儿死亡率最高。
