Abstract:
Acute kidney injury(AKI) is defined as functional and structural disorder or signs of renal damage including any defect from blood and urine test,or tissue imaging that is less than 3 months.The current treatment for AKI includes therapeutic agents and renal replacement therapy (RRT).The goal of RRT is to remove endogenous and exogenous toxins,inflammatory mediator,pathogenic factor,and to maintain fluid,electrolyte,and acid-base balance until renal function returns.The principal methods of RRT include intermittent hemodialysis,continuous renal replacement therapy,peritoneal dialysis,plasmaphresis exchange and hemoperfusion.In this article,we discussed the timing,choice of therapeutic mode,indication and common technical issues of RRT in pediatric AKI.
