Acute Kidney Injury Is Common in Pediatric Severe Malaria and Is Associated With Increased Mortality

Acute kidney injury is common in severe malaria and associated with short- and long-term mortality developing in 50% of cases after admission. Cystatin C and BUN are associated with the severity of AKI, are elevated at admission and predict mortality.
