| description | Nihilism has been pervasive in the acute kidney injury field for decades, given that no studies, had been able to reduce AKI rates in hospitalized patients. Furthermore, children with AKI comprise an orphan population, where there is little incentive to develop diagnostics, therapeutics or devices specifically for them. The 3rd International Symposium on Acute Kidney Injury in Children, held in Cincinnati in October 2018, provided a platform to demonstrate the advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of children with, or at-risk for AKI, and also highlighted barriers to advancing care for this population. The progress made in the pediatric AKI since the 2nd International Symposium in 2016, highlighted the positive outcomes emanating from federal agency, private foundation and corporate sponsor investment in pediatric AKI. As a result, the time should be over for nihilism in the pediatric field. |
