Abstract:

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common critical disease with high morbidity and mortality in hospitalized children. AKI has fast progress,and early diagnosis and risk prediction can assist clinical physicians in starting timely therapy and could effectively improve patients' prognosis. Traditional biomarker,serum creatinine,is related with renal function,but it can not timely reflect kidney injury. Recently,many new potential biomarkers have been widely investigated,such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL),kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1),insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7(IGFBP7) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2(TIMP-2). Children have their own unique growth and development rules. These biomarkers are at different baseline levels in different ages. This review summarizes the pathophysiological basis of these new AKI biomarkers,the application in the early diagnosis,risk stratification and prognostic evaluation of pediatric AKI and the difference for clinical performance compared with adult patients.
