AKI Biomarker Described for Pediatric Malaria
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important complication in severe malaria that is associated with increased mortality in both pediatric and adult populations. However, until recently, the incidence of AKI in pediatric malaria was under-appreciated as few children develop signs of overt renal failure and creatinine testing is not routinely available in resource-constrained settings.
