Definition
• A clinical syndrome in which a sudden deterioration in renal function results in the inability of the kidneys to maintain fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.
• Also k/a Acute renal insufficiency• 2-3% of children admitted to pediatric tertiary
care centres• 8% of infants in neonatal ICU.

• Sensitivity and specificity of urine Na of <20 in differentiating prerenal azotemia from acute tubular necrosis are 90% and 82%, respectively.
• Fractional excretion of sodium
= urine:plasma (U/P) ratio of sodium divided by U/P of creatinine × 100. (sensitivity and specificity of fractional excretion of
sodium of <1% in differentiating prerenal azotemia from acute tubular necrosis are 96% and 95%, respectively)

• CXR : cardiomegaly, pulmonary congestion (fluid overload) or pleural effusions.
• Renal USG :
hydronephrosis /hydroureter, Nephromegaly- s/o intrinsic renal disease.
• Renal biopsy : who do not have clearly defined prerenal or postrenal ARF
![Page 10: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Other biomarkers:
- changes in plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C levels
- urinary changes in NGAL, interleukin-18 (IL-18), and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1).

Management
• Catheterization - in newborn with suspected posterior ureteral valves & nonambulatory older children.
![Page 12: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
If there is no evidence of volume overload or cardiac failure, intravenous administration of isotonic saline, 20 mL/kg over 30 min.
![Page 13: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
hypovolemic patients generally void within 2 hr after bolus; failure points to intrinsic or postrenal ARF.
Hypotension due to sepsis - vigorous fluid resuscitation f/b continuous infusion of norepinephrine.
![Page 14: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Diuretic therapy : only after the adequate hydration. Mannitol (0.5 g/kg) and furosemide (2-4 mg/kg) - as a single
IV dose. [Mannitol - effective in pigment (myoglobin, hemoglobin)-induced renal failure.]
Bumetanide (0.1 mg/kg)- an alternative to furosemide.
If urine output is not improved - continuous diuretic infusion may be considered.
Consider Dopamine (2-3 µg/kg/min) in conjunction with diuretic therapy.
There is little evidence that diuretics or dopamine can prevent ARF or hasten recovery.
![Page 15: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Hyperkalemia• Sr K >6 mEq/L - cardiac arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, and death. • Earliest ECG change - peaked T waves f/b widening of the QRS
intervals, ST segment depression, ventricular arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest.
• Exogenous sources of K : dietary, intravenous fluids, total parenteral nutrition) should be eliminated.
• Sodium polystyrene sulfonate resin (Kayexalate) : (1 g/kg) - orally or by retention enema when Sr K>6 mEq/L
- exchanges sodium for potassium
- can take several hours to take effect. A single dose of 1 g/kg can lower the sr K level by about 1 mEq/L.
- Resin therapy may be repeated every 2 hr, the frequency being limited primarily by the risk of sodium overload.
![Page 16: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• If Sr K >7 mEq/L : emergency measures in addition to Kayexalate.
Calcium gluconate 10% solution : 1.0 mL/kg IV, over 3-5 min
Sodium bicarbonate :1-2 mEq/kg IV, over 5-10 min
Regular insulin : 0.1 U/kg, with glucose 50% solution, 1 mL/kg, over 1 hr
![Page 17: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Mild metabolic acidosis:
common in ARF - rarely requires treatment.
If severe (arterial pH < 7.15; serum bicarbonate < 8 mEq/L) or contributes to hyperkalemia it should be corrected.
![Page 18: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Hypocalcemia :
- Primarily treated by lowering the serum phosphorus level.
- Calcium should not be given IV except in cases of tetany, to avoid deposition of calcium salts into tissues.
- Follow a low-phosphorus diet,
![Page 19: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Hyponatremia
- most commonly a dilutional
- must be corrected by fluid restriction.
- hypertonic (3%) saline - limited to symptomatic hyponatremia (seizures, lethargy) or those with a serum sodium level <120 mEq/L.
![Page 20: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• GI bleeding because of uremic platelet
dysfunction, increased stress, and heparin exposure in hemodialysis.
Oral or intravenous H2 blocker-Ranitidine.
![Page 21: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Hypertension Common in ARF patients with acute
glomerulonephritis or HUS. Salt and water restriction, diuretics Isradipine (0.05-0.15 mg/kg/dose,
amlodipine, 0.1-0.6 mg/kg/24 hr qd or divided bid
propranolol, 0.5-8 mg/kg/24 hr divided bid or tid;
labetalol, 4-40 mg/kg/24 hr divided bid or tid severe symptomatic hypertension - continuous
infusions of sodium nitroprusside or esmolol
![Page 22: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Neurologic symptoms Headache, seizures, lethargy, and confusion
(encephalopathy). Potential etiologic factors - hyponatremia,
hypocalcemia, hypertension, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral vasculitis, and the uremic state.
Diazepam - most effective in controlling seizures,
Treat the underlying cause.

• Anemia of ARF generally mild packed red blood cells if Hb < 7 g/dLSlow (4-6 hr) transfusion with packed red
blood cells (10 mL/kg) diminishes the risk of hypervolemia.
![Page 24: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Nutrition In most cases, sodium, potassium, and
phosphorus should be restricted. Protein – restricted & caloric intake
maximised to minimize the accumulation of nitrogenous wastes.
Critically ill patients with ARF - parenteral essential amino acids given
![Page 25: Acute renal failure in children](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55517997b4c905723b8b5367/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Protein : enough protein for growth - limiting high protein intake. Protein needs increase on dialysis. Foods with protein include
eggs
milk
cheese
chicken
fish
red meats
beans
yogurt
cottage cheese

• Sodium. Depend on stage of their kidney disease, their age,
and sometimes other factors. Foods high in sodium include• canned foods• some frozen foods• most processed foods• some snack foods, such as chips
