Lower albumin level and longer disease duration are risk factors of acute kidney injury in hospitalized children with nephrotic syndrome

ConclusionsAKI is not uncommon in hospitalized children with NS, and its incidence in this nationwide study was 16.2%. Risk factors for AKI in hospitalized children with NS include longer disease duration, lower albumin level, and methylprednisolone pulse therapy. Pediatric NS patients with these characteristics should be under more strict scrutiny for the occurrence of AKI.Graphical abstract
