ACUTE PERITONEAL DIALYSIS SYSTEM FOR NEONATES WITH ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY REQUIRING RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY: A CASE SERIES

摘要

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill neonates, and peritoneal dialysis (PD) can be a lifesaving option. In China, however, much of the equipment for PD in neonates is not available. We describe results with a novel system for PD, which has been developed locally to improve access to therapy and care for critically ill neonates requiring PD in China.
