ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Acute kidney injury is a common complication associated with an increase in mortality in children who require intensive care. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of acute kidney injury and identify risk factors for mortality in critically ill patients hospitalized in our facility. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
This was a prospective and observational study conducted at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Hospital Pedro de Elizalde between 2005 and 2009. All patients with acute kidney injury were included, and those with chronic renal failure, prerenal acute kidney injury, hepatorenal syndrome, newborn infants, and postoperative cardiovascular surgery patients were excluded.

Out of 1496 patients, 66 developed acute kidney injury (4.4
