Abstract
Regular readers of our, and other, journals have probably noted an increasing number of papers on acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized children. Why is this? Independent of any actual change in incidence, a major contributor to such studies has been better definitions of pediatric AKI. Older studies may have relied on definitions derived in adults, which because of a reliance on serum creatinine probably underestimate kidney injury in small children and especially in newborns.
