Incidence of acute kidney injury and its predictors among neonates admitted at neonatal intensive care unit of, Northwest Ethiopia comprehensive specialized hospitals, 2023
The incidence of acute kidney injury in neonates was high. Premature infants, neonates with sepsis, who suffered perinatal asphyxia, who received gentamicin drugs, whose sodium levels decreased and potassium levels increased were at higher risk of developing acute kidney injury. All concerned agencies should work to prevent acute kidney injury and pay special attention to multifactorial causes. Therefore, strategies need to be developed and/or strengthened to prevent the occurrence of acute kidney injury in infants with sepsis, neonates who suffered perinatal asphyxia, and preterm infants whose sodium levels decreased and potassium levels increased.
