METHODSIn this retrospective study of VLBW infants, we analyzed the prevalence of AKI, as defined by changes in serum creatinine and urine output, associated risk factors and outcomes.RESULTSA total of 293 VLBW infants （mean gestational age 28.7 wk） were included, of whom 109 weighed less than 1000 g at birth. The overall prevalence of AKI was 11.6% （22% in infants with a birth weight under 1000 g and 5.4% those heavier）. A total of 19 （55%） affected infants died, with a mortality rate of 58% in infant less than 1000 g and 50% in those heavier. After adjusting for confounding variables, only necrotizing enterocolitis （NEC） remained associated with AKI, with odds ratio of 4.9 （95%CI： 1.9-18.6）. Blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate （GFR） were not different between affected infants and the others upon discharge from hospital. A normal GFR was documented in all affected infants at one year of age.CONCLUSION Using Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes defnition of AKI, it occurred in over 10% of VLBW infants, more commonly in infants with lower birth weight. NEC was an independent associated risk factor. Renal function, as defined by GFR, was normal in all surviving affected infants 10 to 12 mo later.展开更多
