AB The  term  acute  renal  failure  (ARF)  has  now  been  replaced  with  the  term  acute  kidney  injury  (AKI),  and  is  now  used  to  encompass  mild  renal  dysfunction  to  complete  anuric  kidney  failure.  In  neonates,  ARF/AKI  is  defined  as  a  serum  creatinine  >1.5  mg/dL  (132.6  μmol/L),  regardless  of  age  or  urine  output,  with  normal  maternal  renal  function.  ARF/AKI  can  be  anuric  (absence  of  urinary  output  by  24–48  hours  of  age),  oliguric  (urine  output  of  1.0  mL/kg).  ARF/AKI  can  present  with  normal  urinary  output  (seen  in  asphyxiated  neonates).  Normal  urine  output  is  ∼1–3  mL/kg/h  with  almost  all  infants  voiding  within  24  hours  of  birth.  See  Table  68–1.
