Sequential Amnioinfusion Protocol for Treating Fetal Renal Failure: Impact on Survival and Transition to Renal Transplantation
A total of 83% of patients alive at 48 h survived the neonatal period and of those surviving the neonatal period, 62.5% survived a minimum of 6 months on outpatient peritoneal dialysis (PD). This series also established that PD can be successfully performed in neonates as small as 1,500 g. Four patients have successfully undergone renal transplantation. Serial AIs for FRF offer the potential, not only in neonatal pulmonary survival but also long-term survival to kidney transplantation.
