ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to see how children with acute kidney injury fared in the PICU in the short term. Setting: GBP hospital Srinagar's PICU (Paediatric Intensive Care Unit). Result: Sepsis and encephalitis were the most common conditions associated with Acute kidney Injury. Acute kidney Injury was caused by pre-renal causes in 54.3% of cases. Stage 3 had the highest proportion of Acute kidney Injury patients (p < 0.001) 63.8 percent of the population. Acute kidney Injury Stages 1, 2, and 3 were diagnosed in 11 (15.9%), 14 (20.3%), and 44 (63.8%) of Acute kidney Injury patients in the current study. Acute kidney Injury was linked to a higher risk of death (p < 0.001). When compared to non- Acute kidney Injury patients, the survival rate was 34.8 percent. Conclusion: Acute Kidney Injury continues to be linked to adverse consequences, which may increase the morbidity and mortality. Early detection of Acute kidney Injury using new identified criteria (AKIN, RIFLE, p RIFLE), as well as early and adequate management of risk factors, would avoid Acute kidney Injury progression and reduce Acute kidney Injury patient death and morbidity.
