Project Description
The overall goal of this career award is to build Dr. Batte into an independently funded physician scientist improving the survival of children with acute kidney injury (AKI) and identify interventions that will enable children to thrive.
This career development project will delineate the mechanisms of kidney-related brain injury in severe malaria by determining the extent that AKI phenotypes are associated with biosignatures of brain injury and recovery. Further, Dr. Batte will establish the extent that AKI and AKI phenotypes are associated with cerebral edema, and in addition define the association between neurobehavioral outcomes, brain injury biomarkers, and AKI phenotypes.
