Renal disorders can occur in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) either as a primary diagnosis or secondary to other diagnoses. This chapter serves as a guide to the diagnosis and management of the more common renal disorders encountered in the PICU. A practical approach to patients presenting with hypernatremia, hyponatremia, and hyperkalemia is provided, including etiologies as well as treatment approaches to these electrolyte disturbances. The diagnosis and management of hypertensive emergencies are discussed as well. Important considerations in the evaluation and treatment of patients with acute kidney injury are reviewed. In addition, modalities for renal replacement therapy are described as well as factors that should be considered when choosing a dialysis treatment modality.
