Multicenter Study
NSAID-associated acute kidney injury in hospitalized children - a prospective Pediatric Nephrology Research Consortium study.
Pediatric Nephrology 2023 September
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in children has serious short-term and long-term consequences. We sought 1) to prospectively describe NSAID-associated AKI in hospitalized children; 2) to determine if NSAID-associated AKI was more severe in younger children < 5 years; and 3) to follow outcomes after hospitalization for NSAID-associated AKI.
METHODS: This was a prospective, multi-center study in hospitalized children 1 month to 18 years. Parents/guardians were given a brief questionnaire to determine the dosing, duration, and type of NSAIDs given. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) serum creatinine criteria were used to stage AKI severity. Patients with other causes of AKI were excluded (e.g., other nephrotoxins, sepsis, malignancy, etc.).
RESULTS: We identified 25 patients with NSAID-associated AKI, accounting for 3.1% of AKI. All 25 had AKI upon hospital presentation. The median age was 15.5 years, and 20/25 (80%) had volume depletion. Median duration of NSAID use was 2 days, and 63% of patients took the normal recommended NSAID dose. Median hospital length of stay was 4 days, and none required dialysis. At the most recent estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after discharge (available in 17/25 patients), only 4/17 (24%) had eGFR ≥ 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 , and 13/17 (76%) had eGFR 60 to < 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 , indicative of abnormal kidney function.
CONCLUSIONS: NSAID-associated AKI usually occurs with recommended NSAID dosing in the setting of dehydration. Follow-up after AKI showed a substantial rate of CKD. Therefore, we recommend that NSAIDs should not be used in dehydrated children. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
