Although the numbers of infants requiring dialysis are small, management of these patients presents many challenges. Mortality is high in infants with comorbidities, complications of dialysis are common, and most of these infants need enteral feeding. However, the long-term outcome for otherwise healthy infants is comparable to that for older children.

KEY WORDS: Infant; ethics; mortality; growth; nutrition; development.
