The AKI severity was classified into three grades (R=risk, I=injury, F=failure) by RIFLE criteria, and patients who required renal replacement therapy were included in grade F.ResultsPostoperative AKI was observed in 88 patients (44%) including 53 RIFLE-R (27%), 18 RIFLE-I (9%), and ...
AKI, AKD and CKD can form a continuum whereby initial kidney injury can lead to persistent renal injury, eventually leading to CKD. AKI is defined as an abrupt decrease in kidney function occurring over 7 days or less, whereas CKD is defined by the persistence of kidney disease for a period...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after allogeneic stem cell transplantation; however, its incidence and outcome in patients transplanted for multiple myeloma (MM) is unknown. We evaluated the incidence, severity, and risk factors for AKI within the first 30 days after ...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. The traditional risk model provided by the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) is useful for predicting th
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most severe complications of cirrhosis, occurring in up to 50% of hospitalized patients, and has been associated with higher mortality, which increases with severity of AKI (Capalbo et al., Int Urol Nephrol 51:2203–2207, 2019). Hepatorenal syndrome ...
Study objective: To investigate if there are any differences in total renal blood flow, regional renal perfusion, renal oxygenation or renal tissue properties, studied by non-invasive MRI, in patients having recovered from severe COVID-19 with different grades of acute kidney injury (AKI). ...
The 2011 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guideline for Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) aims to assist practitioners caring for adults and children at risk for or with AKI, including contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). Guideline development followed an expli...
Minfang Zhang, Leyi Gu, Xinghua Shao, Qin Wang, Chaojun Qi, Shu Li, Wanpeng Wang, Xiajing Che & Zhaohui Ni Iodinated contrast media serves as a direct causative factor of acute kidney injury (AKI) and is involved in the progression of cellular dysfunction and apoptosis...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is morphologically characterized by a synchronized plasma membrane rupture of cells in a specific section of a nephron, referred to as acute tubular necrosis (ATN). Whereas the involvement of necroptosis is well characterized, genetic evidence supporting the contribution of ...
