Clinical features and associated comorbidities of COVID19 were noted. Baseline serum creatinine (height-independent Hoste\u2019s equation) and peak serum creatinine were used for staging of AKI by the 2012 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes serum creatinine criteria. Univariate analysis and Kaplan\u2013Meier survival analysis were used to compare the overall outcome in the AKI vs. the non-AKI group.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 64\u2009810 children between 1\u2009month and 18\u2009years visited the hospital; 3412 were tested for suspected COVID19, 295 tested positive and 105 (54% boys) were hospitalized. Twenty-four hospitalized children (22.8%) developed AKI; 8 in Stage 1 (33.3%), 7 in Stage 2 (29.2%) and 9 in Stage 3 (37.5%) respectively. Overall, three patients received KRT. Highest reported mortality was (66.6%) in AKI Stage 3. Risk factors for AKI included associated sepsis (OR 95% CI, 1.22-9.43, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01), nephrotic syndrome (OR 95% CI, 1.13-115.5, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01), vasopressor support (OR 3.59, 95% CI, 1.37\u20139.40, p value&amp;lt; 0.007), shock at presentation (OR 2.98, 95% CI, 1.16\u20137.60, p value 0.01) and mechanical ventilation (OR 2.64, 95% CI, 1.04\u20136.71, p value&amp;lt; 0.03). Mortality (25.71%) was higher in the AKI group (OR 95% CI, 1.14-8.35, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.023) with shock (OR 45.92; 95% CI, 3.44\u2013612.0, p value &amp;lt;0.004) and ventilation (OR 46.24; 95% CI, 1.6\u20131333.0 p value&amp;lt; 0.02) as significant risk factors for mortality.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>AKI is an important modifiable risk factor for mortality in children with COVID19 in a resource-limited setting.
