Overview

Retrospective analysis reports outcomes of peritoneal dialysis in preterm infants with acute kidney injury, highlighting a high mortality rate.

Key Points

  • The high mortality rate among preterm infants undergoing peritoneal dialysis for acute kidney injury is concerning, at 91.7%.
  • Initial treatments with peritoneal dialysis led to complete recovery in only one patient, suggesting limited effectiveness in this population.
  • This retrospective study included twelve preterm infants, with varying timings of dialysis initiation related to anuria onset.
  • Despite some recoveries, the overarching prognosis for these infants remains poor, indicating a clear need for better management guidelines.
