Acute Kidney Injury After Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygen in Children: Phenotypes and Prognosis in a Single-Center Cohort, 2020–2023

Key takeaways

This study followed 284 children who needed a machine to support their heart and lungs. About 34% of them had kidney injury that lasted at least 30 days. This shows a link between the machine and kidney trouble, but it is not proof of cause.
