Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload affect a large number of children undergoing cardiac surgery, and confers an increased risk for adverse complications and outcomes including death. Survivors of AKI suffer long-term sequelae. The purpose of this narrative review is to discuss the short and long-term impact of cardiac surgery associated AKI and fluid overload, currently available tools for diagnosis and risk stratification, existing management strategies, and future management considerations.
