Efficacy of Kidney Support Therapy in Critically Sick Children with Acute Kidney Injury: A Cross-Sectional Study
摘要
Kidney Support Therapy (KST) is essential for addressing metabolic disturbances and enhancing outcomes in critically ill children with acute kidney injury (AKI). The comparative effectiveness of different KST modalities remains uncertain. This cross-sectional analytical study included children in a tertiary care center undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD, n = 16), hemodialysis (HD, n = 17), or continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT, n = 20). The urea and creatinine reduction ratios and survival were higher in CRRT compared to PD. Higher PRISM III scores and lower eGFR were found to be predictors of mortality.
