Causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) complicating hospitalization of patients with childhood-onset nephrotic syndrome.

AKI occurred in 32.2% of hospitalizations related to childhood-onset nephrotic syndrome (NS) during the study period. The most common cause of AKI was infection (n = 12), followed by aggravation of NS (n = 11), dehydration (n = 3), and possibly high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone (mPD) treatment (n = 3).
