“…Indications for dialysis are well known and are summarized in Table 2. Each of these problems can be managed to some extent by conservative measures, but dialysis will become necessary when conservative measures fail to keep these problems under adequate control [10,27,28]. In addition, occasional patients may benefit from the institution of dialytic support in order to provide the necessary nutrition to aid in their recovery from ARF or its underlying cause [29,30,31].…”

Acute renal failure in children requiring dialysis can be managed with a variety of modalities, including peritoneal dialysis, intermittent hemodialysis, and continuous hemofiltration or hemodiafiltration. The choice of dialysis modality to be used in managing a specific patient is influenced by several factors, including the goals of dialysis, the unique advantages and disadvantages of each modality, and institutional resources. This review will examine these aspects of acute renal failure management, with the goal of providing practical guidance regarding modality selection to the physician involved in the management of pediatric acute renal failure.

“…The conservative management goals of pediatric AKI include symptomatic measures such as control of fluid balance, dietary and blood pressure management, and improvement of survival time. In the setting of AKI, disturbed fluid or metabolic balance often necessitates the initiation of RRT [14, 20, 21]. Historically, the reported mortality rates for children requiring dialysis ranged anywhere from 35% to 73% [7–10, 22].…”

For most new therapeutic agents, children have been excluded during the drug evaluation process. Commonly cited reasons for this exclusion include: unique ethical considerations in children, difficulty completing necessary pediatric studies, medicolegal risk, fear of regulatory delay, and a lack of appropriate financial incentives ( I ) . Understanding these reasons and devising new strategies for drug evalwtion in children has become a priority. Despite the aforementioned concerns, there are numerous examples of successful cooperation between government agencies, academic institutions, and the pharmaceutical industry. Current federal attitudes and initiatives, changes in the business structure of health care delivery, and the development of less traditional approaches to pediatric drug testing and approval provide new opportunities to achieve safer; more efficacious drug therapy for children (2).
