Kidney complications in children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To describe kidney outcomes in a cohort of children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

Methods

We assessed short-term (acute kidney injury defined using neonatal KDIGO criteria) and long-term kidney outcomes, including chronic kidney disease (defined as a GFR < 90 ml/min/1.73 m²), albuminuria, and hypertension in a single-center retrospective cohort of children with BPD born between 2010 and 2020.

Results

309 (38.8%) of 797 children included in the cohort had acute kidney injury (AKI) during their NICU admission. Kidney specific follow-up evaluation was infrequent in this cohort; 52.4% of patients had serum creatinine testing and 31.5% had a urinalysis performed after discharge. 163 (32.0%) of 510 patients with long-term data had CKD, which o
