Incidence and outcomes of neonatal acute kidney injury (AWAKEN): a multicentre, multinational, observational cohort study.

TL;DR: Neonatal AKI is a common and independent risk factor for mortality and longer hospital stay, and data suggest that neonates may be impacted by AKI in a manner similar to pediatric and adult patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neonatal Kidney Size and Function in Preterm Infants: What Is a True Estimate of Glomerular Filtration Rate?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors distinguish between cystatin C (CysC) and creatinine (Cr) as markers of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in preterm infants and correlate eGFR with total kidney volume (TKV) as a surrogate of nephron mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of kidney function in preterm infants: lifelong implications.

TL;DR: This educational review will highlight the historical and contemporary references that establish a basic understanding of measurements of kidney function in the neonate and its relevance for the life of an individual.
