5th International Symposium on Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Children

5th International Symposium on Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Children is organized by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC)  and will be held from Sep 26 - 28, 2025 at Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States of America.

Description:
The conference programming will provide an interactive educational platform for physicians, nurses and affiliated healthcare professionals who care for children with, or at-risk for, AKI. Physician specialties will represent nephrology, critical care medicine, cardiology and neonatology.

Objectives:

• Assess the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of acute kidney injury in neonates and children.
• Examine how AKI influences the progression and management of different disease states.
• Integrate standardized endpoints to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficacy.
• Formulate approaches for the early and effective use of continuous renal replacement therapy.
• Foster interprofessional collaboration to ensure consensus on treatment plans, with each team member understanding their role in AKI management.

Key Topics Include:

• Detailed and current reports from major international pediatric acute care nephrology registries
• The integration of novel AKI biomarkers into risk-stratification algorithms both at single and longitudinal time points in new populations
• The latest results from studies of novel extracorporeal devices aimed to improve outcomes for patients with multi-organ failure including AKI
• Review of long-term outcome studies of children and young adults who survive an AKI episode
• Considerations for novel and modern AKI trial designs and endpoints
• Proposals for AKI management strategies to utilize our current knowledge to optimize AKI interventional studies and improve patient outcomes
