“…Certainly, it has been well demonstrated that acute PD requires less infrastructure and training than extracorporeal therapies, but has also been shown to be more cost effective. Two studies 6,7 from India showed that acute PD costs approximately half of the cost for HD or continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH), and Kilonzo et al 7 showed that it costs ~US$350 for every life saved when using manual acute PD with two hourly exchanges.…”

“…This project addresses one aspect of the spectrum of providing support for AKI programs and has shown that PD therapy is feasible and can be provided at a low cost with acceptable outcomes and perhaps, most importantly, that various international organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and local hospitals can collaborate to develop successful treatments for AKI. 6,7,20 …”

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major global health problem in both developed and developing nations, negatively affecting patient morbidity and responsible for an estimated 1.4 million deaths per year. Although the International Society of Nephrology set a goal of eliminating preventable deaths from AKI by 2025, implementation of this program in developing countries presents major challenges not only because of the lack of resources but also because of the scarce data addressing the epidemiology and causes of AKI in developing countries, the limited health care resources to diagnose and treat AKI, and the poor awareness of the impact of AKI on patient outcomes.

Consensus-Based Recommendations on Priority Activities to Address Acute Kidney Injury in Children

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ImportanceIncreasing evidence indicates that acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in children and young adults and is associated with poor short-term and long-term outcomes. Guidance is required to focus efforts related to expansion of pediatric AKI knowledge.ObjectiveTo develop expert-driven pediatric specific recommendations on needed AKI research, education, practice, and advocacy.Evidence ReviewAt the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative meeting conducted in November 2021 by 47 multiprofessional international experts in general pediatrics, nephrology, and critical care, the panel focused on 6 areas: (1) epidemiology; (2) diagnostics; (3) fluid overload; (4) kidney support therapies; (5) biology, pharmacology, and nutrition; and (6) education and advocacy. An objective scientific review and distillation of literature through September 2021 was performed of (1) epidemiology, (2) risk assessment and diagnosis, (3) fluid assessment, (4) kidney support and extracorporeal therapies, (5) pathobiology, nutrition, and pharmacology, and (6) education and advocacy. Using an established modified Delphi process based on existing data, workgroups derived consensus statements with recommendations.FindingsThe meeting developed 12 consensus statements and 29 research recommendations. Principal suggestions were to address gaps of knowledge by including data from varying socioeconomic groups, broadening definition of AKI phenotypes, adjudicating fluid balance by disease severity, integrating biopathology of child growth and development, and partnering with families and communities in AKI advocacy.Conclusions and RelevanceExisting evidence across observational study supports further efforts to increase knowledge related to AKI in childhood. Significant gaps of knowledge may be addressed by focused efforts.
