A Study of Acute Kidney Injury in Children at Sohag University Hospital
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been traditionally defined as an abrupt loss of kidney function leading to a rapid decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), accumulation of waste products such as blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine, and dysregulation of extracellular volume and electrolyte homeostasis . Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a very common condition, especially among hospitalized patients.
this work aims to study the demographics, etiology, clinical characteristics, and outcome of acute kidney injury in children in Sohag University Hospital - Pediatrics Department.
