Popis: To describe patterns of renal and hepatic injury in infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Retrospective cohort of infants receiving therapeutic hypothermia for HIE was classified into groups based on organ injury: neither acute kidney injury (AKI) nor acute hepatic injury (AHI), isolated AKI, isolated AHI, or both AKI/AHI. Biomarkers and outcomes were described and analyzed.Among 188 infants, 55% had no AKI nor AHI, 7% had only AKI, 22% had only AHI and 16% had both AKI and AHI. Infants with both AKI/AHI had the highest mortality (47%) and worse outcomes, compared to other injury groups, although AKI/AHI was not significantly associated with mortality (hazard ratio 2.5; 95% CI 0.9-6.9), after accounting for severity of HIE. For surviving infants, biomarkers of organ injury, on average, normalized by discharge.Infants with HIE with both AKI/AHI have worse outcomes than infants with AKI or AHI alone.
