In this study the investigators will evaluate the long-term renal function in children treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) due to acute kidney injury (AKI) and multiple organ failure (MOF) in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). These children are not always referred for nephrology follow up after their ICU stay and it is unclear to what extent the patients suffer from chronic renal disease. The primary aim is to establish the frequency of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children treated with CRRT due to AKI. Secondary outcomes will include mortality, frequency of end stage-renal disease (ESRD) and need for hemodialysis and/or renal transplantation.
