Based on these cases, we can infer that AKI occurring during the early postnatal period may result in dysplasia of the kidneys with cortical cysts in extremely preterm infants, which may lead to chronic kidney disease in their later life. It is useful to follow up not only laboratory parameters but also kidney ultrasonographic findings in extremely preterm infants who suffered AKI during their early postnatal periods.
