Summary:The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in pediatric patients has been increasing over the years, and AKI significantly impacts children's health and quality of life. This article reviews the current epidemiological research on pediatric AKI.

The incidence rate, misdiagnosis rate, main causes, and medical costs of AKI in hospitalized children were examined. A total of 29,639 patients were included, with an AKI incidence rate of 4.34% (1286/29,639). Among the 1286 AKI patients, 863 (67.11%) were classified as AKI stage 1324 (25.19%) as AKI stage 2, and 99 (7.7%) as AKI stage 3.
