This study aimed to characterize newborns
with Acute Kidney Injury and who needed peritoneal
dialysis in a neonatal intensive care unit in the south of
Brazil, in the period 2007 – 2010. To this end, a descriptive
study of the case study type was undertaken in the first
semester of 2012, based on a search for data in medical
records, collected using a structured instrument. A total
of 10 newborns with Acute Kidney Injury was identified;
of these, two underwent peritoneal dialysis, as they
were extremely premature. However, they presented
complications and died. It is concluded that knowing the
problems in the care in peritoneal dialysis leads to an
understanding of the need for professional training and
continuous education in the neonatal health services.
