Back to Episodes#419 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - Is the Neonatal Kidney the Organ We Have Been Ignoring? (ft. Dr. Alexis Davis)
Description
Dr. Alexis Davis, Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford and Medical Director of the NephroNICU at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, makes the case that neonatology is entering a nephro era. She discusses how AKI prevention through initiatives like the BABY NINJA collaborative, fluid management strategies, and the emerging concept of the NephroNICU are reshaping how we think about kidney health in premature infants. She also addresses the complex ethical and practical considerations around dialysis and renal replacement therapy in newborns with congenital kidney failure.
