Background: Acute kidney injury<br />

(AKI) is an independent risk factor for<br />

mortality in ne<strong>on</strong>atal, pediatric and adult<br />

critically ill populati<strong>on</strong>s. As serum<br />

creatinine (SCr) is not ideal to diagnose<br />

improve our ability to detect an injury<br />

early in the disease process. Objectives:<br />

To identify urine biomarkers that predict<br />

acute kidney injury (AKI) in term infants<br />

with perinatal depressi<strong>on</strong> (Apgar score<br />
