Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critical illness in children, particularly those with acute kidney injury. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with acute kidney injury treated with continuous kidney replacement therapy. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with acute kidney injury receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. METHODS An electronic search using PubMed and an inclusive academic library search (including MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases) was conducted to find relevant English-language articles on nutrition therapy for children (<18 y of age) receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. RESULTS The existing literature was reviewed by our work group, comprising pediatric nephrologists and experts in nutrition. The modified Delphi method was then used to develop a total of 45 clinical practice points. The best methods for nutritional assessment are discussed. Indirect calorimetry is the most reliable method of predicting resting energy expenditure in children on continuous kidney replacement therapy. Schofield equations can be used when indirect calorimetry is not available. The non-intentional calories contributed by continuous kidney replacement therapy should also be accounted for during caloric dosing. Protein supplementation should be increased to account for the proteins, peptides, and amino acids lost with continuous kidney replacement therapy. CONCLUSIONS Clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with acute kidney injury and on continuous kidney replacement therapy based on the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the past decade, there have been substantial advances in our understanding of pediatric AKI. Despite this progress, large gaps remain in our understanding of pharmacology and nutritional therapy in pediatric AKI. METHODS During the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) Consensus Conference, a multidisciplinary group of experts reviewed the evidence and used a modified Delphi process to achieve consensus on recommendations for gaps and advances in care for pharmacologic and nutritional management of pediatric AKI. The current evidence as well as gaps and opportunities were discussed, and recommendations were summarized. RESULTS Two consensus statements were developed. (1) High-value, kidney-eliminated medications should be selected for a detailed characterization of their pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmaco-"omics" in sick children across the developmental continuum. This will allow for the optimization of real-time modeling with the goal of improving patient care. Nephrotoxin stewardship will be identified as an organizational priority and supported with necessary resources and infrastructure. (2) Patient-centered outcomes (functional status, quality of life, and optimal growth and development) must drive targeted nutritional interventions to optimize short- and long-term nutrition. Measures of acute and chronic changes of anthropometrics, body composition, physical function, and metabolic control should be incorporated into nutritional assessments. CONCLUSIONS Neonates and children have unique metabolic and growth parameters compared to adult patients. Strategic investments in multidisciplinary translational research efforts are required to fill the knowledge gaps in nutritional requirements and pharmacological best practices for children with or at risk for AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein loss and glucose absorption in children on acute peritoneal dialysis (PD) is important to inform dietary prescription, yet data are lacking in this regard. This study was a secondary analysis of a previously published crossover randomised controlled trial, aiming to describe glucose uptake and protein loss into dialysate among children with acute kidney injury (AKI) receiving PD. METHODS This secondary analysis described and compared dialysate albumin loss and glucose absorption in 15 children with AKI receiving PD or continuous flow peritoneal dialysis (CFPD). In addition, correlations between albumin loss, glucose absorption and other patient and dialysis factors were analysed. RESULTS Median (range) age and weight of participants were 6.0 (0.2-14) months and 5.8 (2.3-14.0) kg, respectively. Patients received approximately 8 h of dialysis on each modality; however, results were extrapolated and expressed per day. The mean ± SD albumin loss on conventional PD and CFPD was 0.3 ± 0.19 g/kg/day and 0.56 ± 0.5 g/kg/day, respectively, and the mean ± SD glucose absorption was 4.67 ± 2.87 g/kg/day and 3.85 ±4.1 g/kg/day, respectively. There was a moderate correlation between ultrafiltration and albumin loss during CFPD only (Pearson's R = 0.61; p = 0.02). There were no significant differences between PD and CFPD for either glucose absorption or albumin loss; however, the study was not powered for this outcome. CONCLUSIONS Protein losses and glucose absorption in children on PD with AKI are significant and should be considered when prescribing nutritional content. Protein losses on CFPD were twice as high as on conventional PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critically ill children, particularly those with AKI. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with AKI treated with continuous RRT (CRRT). A thorough understanding of the metabolic changes and nutritional challenges in AKI and CRRT is required. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with AKI receiving CRRT. METHODS PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched for articles related to the topic. Expertise of the authors and a consensus of the workgroup were additional sources of data in the article. Available articles on nutrition therapy in pediatric patients receiving CRRT through January 2023. RESULTS On the basis of the literature review, the current evidence base was examined by a panel of experts in pediatric nephrology and nutrition. The panel used the literature review as well as their expertise to formulate clinical practice points. The modified Delphi method was used to identify and refine clinical practice points. CONCLUSIONS Forty-four clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with AKI and on CRRT on the basis of the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

Abstract
The nutritional management of neonates with kidney disease is complex. There may be significant differences in nutritional needs based on the duration and cause of kidney dysfunction, including acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore, the treatment modality, including acute (continuous renal replacement therapy and peritoneal dialysis [PD]) and chronic (intermittent hemodialysis and PD) approaches may differentially affect nutritional losses and dietary needs. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiology of compromised nutrition in neonates with AKI and CKD. We also summarize the existing data and consensus recommendations on the provision of nutrition to neonates with AKI and CKD. We highlight the paucity of data on micronutrient losses and the need for future prospective studies to enhance nutritional supplementation to hopefully improve outcomes in these patients.

Abstract
The nutritional management of children with acute kidney injury (AKI) is complex. The dynamic nature of AKI necessitates frequent nutritional assessments and adjustments in management. Dietitians providing medical nutrition therapies to this patient population must consider the interaction of medical treatments and AKI status to effectively support both the nutrition status of patients with AKI as well as limit adverse metabolic derangements associated with inappropriately prescribed nutrition support. The Pediatric Renal Nutrition Taskforce (PRNT), an international team of pediatric renal dietitians and pediatric nephrologists, has developed clinical practice recommendations (CPR) for the nutritional management of children with AKI. We address the need for intensive collaboration between dietitians and physicians so that nutritional management is optimized in line with AKI medical treatments. We focus on key challenges faced by dietitians regarding nutrition assessment. Furthermore, we address how nutrition support should be provided to children with AKI while taking into account the effect of various medical treatment modalities of AKI on nutritional needs. Given the poor quality of evidence available, a Delphi survey was conducted to seek consensus from international experts. Statements with a low grade or those that are opinion-based must be carefully considered and adapted to individual patient needs, based on the clinical judgment of the treating physician and dietitian. Research recommendations are provided. CPRs will be regularly audited and updated by the PRNT.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Increasing evidence indicates that acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in children and young adults and is associated with poor short-term and long-term outcomes. Guidance is required to focus efforts related to expansion of pediatric AKI knowledge. OBJECTIVE To develop expert-driven pediatric specific recommendations on needed AKI research, education, practice, and advocacy. EVIDENCE REVIEW At the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative meeting conducted in November 2021 by 47 multiprofessional international experts in general pediatrics, nephrology, and critical care, the panel focused on 6 areas: (1) epidemiology; (2) diagnostics; (3) fluid overload; (4) kidney support therapies; (5) biology, pharmacology, and nutrition; and (6) education and advocacy. An objective scientific review and distillation of literature through September 2021 was performed of (1) epidemiology, (2) risk assessment and diagnosis, (3) fluid assessment, (4) kidney support and extracorporeal therapies, (5) pathobiology, nutrition, and pharmacology, and (6) education and advocacy. Using an established modified Delphi process based on existing data, workgroups derived consensus statements with recommendations. FINDINGS The meeting developed 12 consensus statements and 29 research recommendations. Principal suggestions were to address gaps of knowledge by including data from varying socioeconomic groups, broadening definition of AKI phenotypes, adjudicating fluid balance by disease severity, integrating biopathology of child growth and development, and partnering with families and communities in AKI advocacy. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Existing evidence across observational study supports further efforts to increase knowledge related to AKI in childhood. Significant gaps of knowledge may be addressed by focused efforts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe a single-center experience of pediatric patients with hyperammonemia not due to inborn errors of metabolism and determine the association between use of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) treatment and outcomes. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary-care children's hospital. PATIENTS All children less than 21 years old admitted to the hospital with hyperammonemia defined as an elevated ammonia levels (>100 µmol/L) not due to inborn error of metabolism. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASURES AND MAIN RESULTS Of 135 children with hyperammonemia, the most common reason for admission was infection in 57 of 135 (42%), congenital heart disease in 20 of 135 (14%), and bone marrow transplantation in 10 of 135 (7%). The overall mortality was 61% (82 of 135), which increased with degree of hyperammonemia (17 of 23 [74%] in those with ammonia >250 µmol/L). After multivariable regression, hyperammonemia severity was not associated with mortality (aOR, 1.4; 95% CI, 0.92-2.1; p = 0.11). Of the 43 patients (32%) receiving CKRT, 21 were prescribed standard clearance and 22 high clearance. The most common indications for CKRT were fluid overload in 17 of 43 (42%) and acute kidney injury or uremia in 16 of 43 (37%). Mean CKRT duration was 13 days. There was no difference between standard and high clearance groups in risk of death (76% vs 86%; p = 0.39), cerebral edema on CT scan (19% vs 27%; p = 0.52), nor decrease in ammonia levels after 24 or 48 hours of CKRT ( p = 0.20, p = 0.94). Among those receiving CKRT, we failed to find an association between high clearance and decreased risk of death in multivariable analysis (aOR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.64-2.3; p = 0.55). CONCLUSIONS In our single-center retrospective study, we failed to find an association between clearance on CKRT and improved survival nor decreased cerebral edema on head imaging. In fact, we failed to find an association between ammonia level and mortality, after controlling for illness severity.

Abstract
Acute liver failure (ALF) in children, irrespective of cause, is a rapidly evolving catastrophic clinical condition that results in high mortality and morbidity without prompt identification and intervention. Massive hepatocyte necrosis impairs the synthetic, excretory, and detoxification abilities of the liver, with resultant coagulopathy, jaundice, metabolic disturbance, and encephalopathy. Extrahepatic organ damage, multiorgan failure, and death result from circulating inflammatory mediators released by the hepatocytes undergoing necrosis. There are yet no treatment options available for reversing or halting hepatocellular necrosis, thus current therapy focuses on supporting failing organs and preventing life threatening complications pending either spontaneous liver recovery or transplantation. The aims of this review are to define pediatric acute liver failure (PALF), understand the pathophysiologic processes that lead to multiorgan failure, to describe the consequences of a failing liver on extrahepatic organs, to enumerate the critical care challenges encountered during PALF management, and to describe pharmacologic and extracorporeal options available to support a critically ill child with ALF in the intensive care unit.

Abstract
Preclinical models and emerging translational data suggest that acute kidney injury (AKI) has far reaching effects on all other major organ systems in the body. Common in critically ill children and adults, AKI is independently associated with worse short and long term morbidity, as well as mortality, in these vulnerable populations. Evidence exists in adult populations regarding the impact AKI has on life course. Recently, non-renal organ effects of AKI have been highlighted in pediatric AKI survivors. Given the unique pediatric considerations related to somatic growth and neurodevelopmental consequences, pediatric AKI has the potential to fundamentally alter life course outcomes. In this article, we highlight the challenging and complex interplay between AKI and the brain, heart, lungs, immune system, growth, functional status, and longitudinal outcomes. Specifically, we discuss the biologic basis for how AKI may contribute to neurologic injury and neurodevelopment, cardiac dysfunction, acute lung injury, immunoparalysis and increased risk of infections, diminished somatic growth, worsened functional status and health related quality of life, and finally the impact on young adult health and life course outcomes.
