Abstract :
Definition of acute kidney injury based on changes in serum creatinine and urine output is challenging especially in neonates. The serum creatinine in the first days of life is influenced by the serum creatinine of mother and the urine output is low during the first week of life. Therefore, using these two criteria to diagnose AKI in a newborn is unreliable and difficult.
