AKI affects a growing number of children and neonates and is associated with high morbidity, mortality, and health care expenditure. In this issue of JASN, Robinson et al. present the findings of a large cohort study on the long-term outcomes of AKI in hospitalized children who did not require acute KRT. In this editorial, @KidneyCathy and @emjsee argue that these findings confirm the poor long-term outcomes of AKI in hospitalized children who do not require acute KRT. bit.ly/JASN0508 @MCRI_for_kids @AU_RMH
