Abstract
Acute intestinal infections are the fourth most common cause of death among children under 5 years of age and the fifth most common cause of lost years of life worldwide. High incidence of se-vere forms and complications, as well as frequent development of critical conditions requiring hospitalization in the intensive care unit necessitate further investigation of pathogenesis and development of diagnostic and treatment methods for this polyetiological group of diseases. This article provides the latest data on the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI), its incidence among children with intestinal infections, diagnostic tactics, including the use of early markers, features of AKI in patients treated in hospital, and outcomes, including the transition to chronic kidney disease. Doctors of different specialties should be careful about AKI in children with various infectious diseases, particularly those with diarrhea, in order to prevent AKI progression, exclude nephrotoxic drugs, and monitor kidney function in dynamics. Key words: children, acute intestinal infection, acute kidney injury
