| Summary: | This study aimed to characterize newborns with Acute Kidney Injury and who needed peritoneal dialysis in a neonatal intensive care unit in the south of Brazil, in the period 2007 – 2010. To this end, a descriptive study of the case study type was undertaken in the first semester of 2012, based on a search for data in medical records, collected using a structured instrument. A total of 10 newborns with Acute Kidney Injury was identified; of these, two underwent peritoneal dialysis, as they were extremely premature. However, they presented complications and died. It is concluded that knowing the problems in the care in peritoneal dialysis leads to an understanding of the need for professional training and continuous education in the neonatal health services. |
