Pediatric Nephrology
Acute kidney injury is a sudden drop in kidney function — less urine, swelling, vomiting or rising creatinine.
In children it often follows severe dehydration, infection or medicines that the kidneys did not tolerate. Early fluids and stopping the trigger can reverse a lot of damage.

Dry nappies, no urine for hours, or a sudden drop in how often the child voids.
Gastroenteritis, shock or a severe infection can tip the kidneys.
Salt, water and potassium can swing quickly in a small child.
Many pediatric AKI cases recover if the cause is treated promptly.
Hydration, blood pressure and a fresh urine output history come first.
Creatinine, electrolytes and urine tests tell us how hard the kidneys were hit.
Sometimes the child needs fluid; sometimes the child is already overloaded.
We decide clinic versus hospital based on urine, potassium and alertness.
We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.
Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.
A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.
This is urgent if there is no urine, breathing feels heavy from fluid, or the child is drowsy after diarrhoea.
