Children with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) have had a high mortality rate despite the use of advanced renal replacement therapy (RRT). This study aims to determine the clinical outcomes and the predictors of survival in pediatric AKI requiring RRT in Thailand. All patients aged 1 month to 18 years with AKI requiring RRT in the Department of Pediatrics, Ramathibodi Hospital from January 1st, 2010 to December 31st, 2019 were enrolled. Clinical and laboratory data were obtained through a medical record review. There were 92 patients with a 45% survival rate. Five factors associated with mortality included multi-organ dysfunction syndrome, presence of sepsis, high pediatric risk of mortality III, use of nephrotoxic drugs, and use of vasopressors. By multivariate analysis, the presence of sepsis and the use of nephrotoxic drugs were independently associated with mortality. Patients with fluid overload ≥10% was associated with poor survival.
