Acute kidney injury in hospitalized children with proteinuria: A multicenter retrospective analysis.

Children with proteinuria on the first day of hospital care services may have an increased odds of higher severity AKI, need for renal replacement therapy, shock and/or antibiotic use, and all-cause mortality at 30 days post-admission, with no significant association found for critical care services, mechanical intubation, or inotrope or vasopressor use.
