Framework for Kidney Health Follow-Up Among Neonates With Critical Cardiac Disease: A Report From the Neonatal Kidney Health Consensus Workshop.

Summary

This report from the NIH-supported Neonatal Kidney Health Consensus Workshop addresses kidney health follow-up for neonates with critical cardiac disease, a group at high risk of acute kidney injury and later chronic kidney disease. A multidisciplinary expert subgroup used a modified Delphi process to reach two consensus-based recommendations on which infants should receive kidney follow-up. It reviews available evidence, introduces novel diagnostic and risk-stratification tools for AKI in neonates with cardiac disease, and highlights knowledge gaps for future research.
