Abstract

This article provides the bedside clinician an overview of the unique renal complications that are seen commonly in the pediatric intensive care unit. These sections are purposely succinct to give a quick guide to the clinician for the care of these children. We have identified four major areas that should result in discussion and cooperative care between intensive care physicians and nephrologists for the care of these children: (1) hypertension, (2) chronic kidney failure, (3) acute kidney injury, and (4) renal replacement therapy.
