  Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is common in critically ill children and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Recognition and management of AKI is often delayed, predisposing patients to risk of clinically significant fluid accumulation (Fluid Overload (FO)). Early recognition and intervention in high risk patients could decrease fluid associated morbidity. We aim to assess an AKI Clinical Decision Algorithm (CDA) using a sequential risk stratification strategy integrating the Renal Angina Index (RAI), urine Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and the Furosemide Stress Test (FST) to optimize AKI and FO prediction and management in critically ill children. Methods/Design: This single center prospective observational cohort study evaluates the AKI CDA in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Every patient.. View More»
