Abstract

Background: We determined the prevalence of acute kidney injury requiring peritoneal dialysis (PD), the factors associated with early PD initiation, prolonged PD and mortality among pediatric postoperative cardiac surgical patients. Materials and Methods: The hospital records of 23 children, aged 12 years or younger, who had undergone cardiac surgery and required PD subsequently, during a 1-year period were reviewed. Demographic data, intraoperative variables, and postoperative complications were compared between survivors and nonsurvivors of PD, between the short and long duration PD groups, and between the early and late PD initiation groups. Results: Six hundred and eight pediatric patients who underwent open heart surgery were enrolled in this study. 23 (3.78%) of them required PD. When compared with survivors (n = 11), non survivors (n =12) were more likely to have a higher serum procalcitonin (p = 0.01), higher serum potassium on day 2 (p = 0.001), day 3 (p = 0.04), day of termination of PD (p = 0.001) and a lower urine output on day 3 of PD (p = 0.03). Prolonged PD was associated with time of PD initiation (p = 0.01), a higher postoperative serum creatinine on day 3 (p = 0.01) of PD initiation as well on the day of PD termination (p = 0.01) and the final outcome in terms of survival (p = 0.02). Factors significantly associated with an early PD initiation were CPB time (p = 0.04), sepsis (p = 0.02) and shorter PD duration (p = 0.003). Conclusion: PD is very useful mode of renal replacement therapy among pediatric postoperative cardiac surgical patients. The intraoperative and postoperative variables have important association with the time of PD initiation, PD duration and patient survival.
