Abstract:
Acute kidney injury in children is frequently a component of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. It often occurs within the severe catabolic phase determined by critical illness and is intensified by metabolic derangements. Nutritional support is critical for these children to improve outcomes. Meeting the special nutritional needs of these critical children with acute kidney injury often requires nutritional supplemen-tation by either the enteral or the parenteral route. The nutritional requirements of these children should be frequently reassessed for individualized nutritional support and carefully integration with renal replacement therapy.
