Abstract

Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in the newborn is a common problem in the neonatal intensive care unit. The incidence of acute kidney injury ranges from 6-24% (Andreoli, 2016). Aim: This study aimed to study the risk factors for the development of acute kidney injury in admitted newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit. Patients and methods: The study was a simple random study.      The study was carried out on 150 neonates, who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Al-Azhar University Hospitals (Al-Hussien and Sayed Galal hospitals) during the period from November 2018 to August 2019. Results: The study showed that the most common risk factors of neonatal acute kidney injury is sepsis, prematurity, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusion: The study concluded that the main risk factors for AKI in these neonates were sepsis, prematurity, HIE and respiratory distress.
