Purpose Of ReviewIn recent years, there has been growing attention to pediatric kidney health, especially pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI). However, there has been limited focus on the role of pediatric AKI on adult kidney health, specifically considerations for the critical care physician.Recent FindingsWe summarize what is known in the field of pediatric AKI to inform adult medical care including factors throughout the early life course, including perinatal, neonatal, and pediatric exposures that impact survivor care later in adulthood.SummaryThe number of pediatric AKI survivors continues to increase, leading to a higher burden of chronic kidney disease and other long-term co-morbidities later in life. Adult medical providers should consider pediatric history and illnesses to inform the care they provide. Such knowledge may help internists, nephrologists, and intensivists alike to improve risk stratification, including a lower threshold for monitoring for AKI and kidney dysfunction in their patients.Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
