The 5th International Symposium on Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Children is hosted by Cincinnati Children's Heart Institute and Center for Acute Care Nephrology. 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.

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

What CRRT University™ participants are saying
about their experience

• “I thought the training provided a 'realistic' view.”

• “The ONE most important thing learned was troubleshooting CRRT alarms, evidence to initiate procedure earlier in renal failure patients, pre-dilution vs post-dilution fluids, and alarm management.”

• “I learned many tips about trouble shooting the machine.”  

• “I now know how to better address alarms. Sometimes you simply don’t have a CRRT orientation experience that allows you to do much "troubleshooting" so the course allowed me to practice a lot of that, for example, the dialysate weight alarm troubleshooting.”  

• “The ONE most important thing learned was developing a yearly competency surrounding CRRT for all PICU nurses.”
