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 a modified Delphi 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. It reviews existing evidence, notes the limitations of standard AKI criteria in this population, and presents two consensus recommendations plus proposed diagnostic and risk-stratification tools. Knowledge gaps and research priorities are outlined. Relevant to PICU and cardiac ICU teams managing neonates after cardiac surgery or with congenital heart disease.
