Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), Postnatal AKI
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to describe the pattern of renal tissue oxygen saturation (SrSO2) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in premature infants \<30 weeks gestational age. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate prenatal and postnatal risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in premature infants \<30 weeks gestational age. The investigators will also compare various rates of complications including death, length-of-stay, and prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, among others.
Interventions
The renal NIRS device is a non-invasive tool that uses near-infrared light to measure oxygen saturation various tissues. Renal NIRS sensors will be placed by 24 hours of the participants' admission.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Any neonate less than 30 weeks in gestational age * Willingness and capacity of both adult parents/guardians to sign consent
Exclusion criteria
* An infant with known congenital anomalies of the kidney (i.e., grade 4 or 5 vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), posterior urethral valves, moderate or severe hydronephrosis, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), bilateral renal agenesis or dysplasia) * Age \>30 weeks gestational age * Age \<24 weeks and \<500 grams (will be excluded due to sensitivity of skin in this vulnerable population). * Clinician's decision that NIRS is not suitable due to the patient's clinical condition
