Critical illness is commonly accompanied with variable degree of acute kidney injury. However, the true burden of AKI in terms of its magnitude, associated risk factors and outcome among critically ill children in Tanzania, is unknown due to limited Data. Objectives: This study was done to determine the prevalence, risk factors and the immediate outcome of acute kidney injury among critically ill children admitted at Dodoma Regional Referral Hospital and Benjamin Mkapa Hospital.
