چکیده
Acute kidney injury (AKI) threatens the neonates and small infants’ life. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the first choice of renal replacement therapy for neonates and small infants with AKI. Because the abdominal wall structure development of neonate or small infant is not mature, the requirements of the operator’s technical level are relatively high. Literature in this area is scarce, especially in China. In this study, we report the application of PD in AKI secondary to severe fungal septicemia in a 41-day-old premature-birth infant from China. Furthermore, we briefly review rare existing case reports documenting the application of PD in neonates and small infants with AKI.
