Observational Study
Prediction of Severe Acute Kidney Injury using Renal Angina Index in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
To determine the proportion of children in a pediatric intensive care unit with a positive Day 0 Renal angina index who develop severe acute kidney injury (AKI) on Day 3; and to compare the predictive ability of the index with that of individual markers of renal injury, for the development of severe acute kidney injury. ⋯ Day 0 Renal angina index positivity is a promising tool to identify critically ill children with impending severe AKI.
