Question: In pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), what are the incidence and causes of induction-phase acute kidney injury (AKI), and which factors predict chronic kidney disease (CKD)?
Finding: Induction AKI occurred in 43% of patients, while CKD developed in 1 of 8 patients. The 5-year CKD-free survival rate was 94%. Older age at diagnosis was a continuous independent determinant of CKD risk.
Meaning: Induction AKI is common and clinically relevant. Older children warrant closer kidney monitoring during and after therapy. |
