Abstract:Objective
The relationship between adrenal insufficiency (AI), post-natal steroids (PNS) and neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI) remains understudied. We investigated associations between PNS and AKI in very low birthweight (VLBW) neonates, hypothesizing PNS is associated with reduced AKI.
Study design
We conducted a single-center retrospective review of VLBW infants comparing those with and without PNS exposure. Associations between PNS exposure and AKI we… Show more
