Impact:
The consensus neonatal modified KDIGO definition has been crucial in expanding our understanding of the epidemiology and impact of neonatal AKI. A consensus definition of neonatal AKI remains essential to continuing to advance the field. This manuscript highlights a historical perspective, the strengths, and limitations of the current neonatal AKI definition, and reflects on the optimal characteristics and utility of neonatal AKI definitions. The future of neonatal AKI lies with improved diagnostic precision and consistently incorporating neonatal risk factors into risk stratification incorporating and the deployment of novel biomarkers to aid in earlier identification and improve outcomes in neonatal AKI.
