The vast majority of patients with pyelonephritis will have unilateral renal involvement, but bilateral disease may also occur with similar symptoms.[70]Patients with bilateral pyelonephritis tend to appear sicker, have more rapid disease progression, are more likely to develop acute kidney injury, and...
Ischemic acute kidney injury (IAKI) is a common but severe complication after a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Multiple studies have demonstrated that peripheral CD133+ or differentiated cells are able to home and repair the damaged tissues, but the numbe
However, false positive results with elevated cTn occurs in patients with heart fail- ure, chronic kidney diseases and sepsis, especially in elderly www.chinaphar.com Wang C et al 1111 patients[15-18]. In addition, since cTn remains in the circulation for over 7 d[12], small repeat ...

There has been limited success in the development of suitable large animal models of acetaminophen induced liver injury. In the study described here we used bed-side biochemical and invasive haemodynamic monitoring during acetaminophen-induced liver damage in a reproducible and controlled manner. Using ...
Acute glomerulonephritis is anacute kidney injury(AKI) syndrome characterized by the sudden onset of edema and new-onset or worsening hypertension.Urinalysisdemonstrates an active sediment, including significantproteinuria(usually >30 mg/dL or 1+ on a semiquantitative scale),hematuria, and red cell cas...
several AKI biomarkers such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, interleukin-18, L-type fatty acid-binding protein, N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase, and kidney injury molecule have been reported4. However, the clinical usefulness of these biomarkers in the treatment decision-making process and...
With an assumption of 80% recovery of muscle mass following each period of disuse, an older person would lose at least 400 g of muscle tissue after only two short periods of illness or injury per year. This equates to a 0.8% muscle loss per year, contributing substantially to the ...
