Summary: | Background
Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) is associated with high patient morbidity and mortality. There is no consensus on the best RRT modality for pediatric AKI.
Methods
The efficacy and safety of continuous peritoneal dialysis (cPD) and daily intermittent hemodialysis (dHD) were compared in 136 children aged 1 month to 16 years requiring RRT for AKI. Mortality, risk factors and causes of death, 1-month and 3-month renal recovery rates, and technique-related complications were assessed.
Results
Uremia control and the rate of catheter-related complications were comparable in the groups. Thirty-day survival was 60.7 % (51 out of 84) with cPD and 36.5 % (19 out of 52) with dHD (
