IAP - STG Series Acute Kidney Injury

Description

The IAP–STG Series outlines a structured approach to pediatric Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) based on KDIGO criteria. It emphasizes early identification via serum creatinine trends and urine output, staging into AKI 1–3, and identifying prerenal, intrinsic, or postrenal causes. Management includes fluid resuscitation, electrolyte correction, avoiding nephrotoxins, and renal replacement therapy when needed. The STG stresses close monitoring, supportive care, and prompt referral in severe cases, aiming to prevent progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD).
