Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy and Survival in Children and Young Adults: Findings From the Multinational WE-ROCK Collaborative. Am J Kidney Dis 2024; 84:406-415.e1. [PMID: 38364956 PMCID: PMC11324858 DOI: 10.1053/j.ajkd.2023.12.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE There are limited studies describing the epidemiology and outcomes in children and young adults receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). We aimed to describe associations between patient characteristics, CKRT prescription, and survival. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 980 patients aged from birth to 25 years who received CKRT between 2015 and 2021 at 1 of 32 centers in 7 countries participating in WE-ROCK (Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Diseases). EXPOSURE CKRT for acute kidney injury or volume overload. OUTCOMES Death before intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Descriptive statistics. RESULTS Median age was 8.8 years (IQR, 1.6-15.0), and median weight was 26.8 (IQR, 11.6-55.0) kg. CKRT was initiated a median of 2 (IQR, 1-6) days after ICU admission and lasted a median of 6 (IQR, 3-14) days. The most common CKRT modality was continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration. Citrate anticoagulation was used in 62%, and the internal jugular vein was the most common catheter placement location (66%). 629 participants (64.1%) survived at least until ICU discharge. CKRT dose, filter type, and anticoagulation were similar in those who did and did not survive to ICU discharge. There were apparent practice variations by institutional ICU size. LIMITATIONS Retrospective design; limited representation from centers outside the United States. CONCLUSIONS In this study of children and young adults receiving CKRT, approximately two thirds survived at least until ICU discharge. Although variations in dialysis mode and dose, catheter size and location, and anticoagulation were observed, survival was not detected to be associated with these parameters. PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY In this large contemporary epidemiological study of children and young adults receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy in the intensive care unit, we observed that two thirds of patients survived at least until ICU discharge. However, patients with comorbidities appeared to have worse outcomes. Compared with previously published reports on continuous kidney replacement therapy practice, we observed greater use of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration with regional citrate anticoagulation.

Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1391024. [PMID: 38957388 PMCID: PMC11218545 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1391024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Severe neonatal hyponatremia represents a critical electrolyte imbalance with potentially severe neurological outcomes, a condition rarely documented in community-acquired, full-term newborns. This report underscores a unique case of a 23-day-old, previously healthy, full-term male neonate experiencing severe hyponatremia that precipitated seizures, underscoring the urgency of prompt recognition and intervention. The neonate presented with symptoms including vomiting, groaning, chills, fixed staring, and limb tremors. Critical findings upon admission encompassed hypothermia, hypotension, tachycardia, and tachypnea accompanied by significant weight loss. The clinical presentation was marked by dehydration, lethargy, weak crying, a fixed gaze, irregular breathing, and coarse lung sounds, yet a distended abdomen, hypertonic limb movements, and recurrent seizures were observed. Immediate interventions included establishing IV access, rewarming, mechanical ventilation, seizure management, volume expansion, dopamine for circulatory support, and initiation of empirical antibiotics. Diagnostic evaluations revealed a sodium ion concentration of 105.9 mmol/L, while amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) detected pronounced seizure activity characterized by a lack of sleep-wake rhythmicity, noticeable elevation in both the lower and upper amplitude margins, and a sustained decrease in the lower margin voltage dropping below 5 μV, presenting as sharp or serrated waveforms. The management strategy entailed rapid electrolyte normalization using hypertonic saline and sodium bicarbonate, anticonvulsant therapy, and comprehensive supportive care, with continuous aEEG monitoring until the cessation of seizures. Remarkably, by the third day, the neonate's condition had stabilized, allowing for discharge in good health 10 days post-admission. At a 16-month follow-up, the child exhibited no adverse neurological outcomes and demonstrated favorable growth and development. Our extensive review on the etiology, clinical manifestations, aEEG monitoring, characteristics of seizures induced by severe neonatal hyponatremia, treatment approaches, and the prognosis for seizures triggered by severe hyponatremia aims to deepen the understanding and enhance clinical management of this complex condition. It stresses the importance of early detection, accurate diagnosis, and customized treatment protocols to improve outcomes for affected neonates. Additionally, this review accentuates the indispensable role of aEEG monitoring in managing neonates at elevated risk for seizures. Yet, the safety and efficacy of swiftly administering hypertonic saline for correcting severe hyponatremia-induced seizures necessitate further investigation through medical research.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review highlights recent advances in understanding fluid and electrolyte homeostasis during the newborn period, including heightened recognition of fluid overload and acute kidney injury contributing to poor clinical outcomes. Particular attention is given towards the care of extremely preterm infants. RECENT FINDINGS Emerging data demonstrate (i) disproportionally large transepidermal water loss in the extremely preterm population, (ii) the relationship between postnatal weight loss (negative fluid balance) and improved outcomes, (iii) the frequency and negative effects of dysnatremias early in life, (iv) the role of sodium homeostasis in optimizing postnatal growth, and (v) the deleterious effects of fluid overload and acute kidney injury. SUMMARY As clinicians care for an increasing number of preterm infants, understanding progress in approaches to fluid and electrolyte management and avoidance of fluid overload states will improve the care and outcomes of this vulnerable population. Further translational and clinical studies are needed to address remaining knowledge gaps and improve current approaches to fluid and electrolyte management.
