Therefore, routine imaging studies may be necessary to rule out urinary tract obstruction in cases of unexplained reduced kidney function. We report a teaching case showing the utility of renal ultrasound in the diagnosis of AKI caused by acute unilateral ureteral obstruction in a patient with an ...
Different comorbidities, genetics, epigenetics and degrees of underlying renal dysfunction and many other variables make each patient's AKI unique. Also, the timing of renal injury is often unclear, or there may be repetitive injuries. 展开
These included system changes, such as inserting an e-alert for AKI into the electronic patient record, an online educational package and face-to-face teaching for AKI, and AKI addition to daily safety huddles. On 10 Collaborative wards, development of an AKI care bundle via multidisciplinary ...
Abbreviations: AKI, acute kidney injury; CON, control; NPV, negative predictive value; OR, odds ratio; PPV, positive predictive value. Model 3 Predictors entered into the equation included age, time at risk, eGFR-Base, RRT, Alb-Hosp, and RIF score. This model was significant (P<0.0001),...

In addition, biAP infusion attenuated the urinary excretion of renal injury markers interleukin-18 and kidney injury molecule-1 compared to placebo [60]. Fig. 4 RRT requirement and AKI occurence after biAP in patient with sepsis Full size image Human recombinant alkaline phosphatase As the ...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is now widely recognised as a serious health care issue, occurring in up to 25% of hospital in-patients, often with worsening of outcomes. There have been several reports of substandard care in AKI. This quality improvement (QI) programme aimed to improve AKI care...
Abdominal Compartment Syndrome and Acute Kidney Injury Due to Excessive Auto–Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Abdominal compartment syndrome is an under-recognized cause of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients. We report a case of a patient with severe ob......
Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents a significant challenge to global public health problem and is associated with poor outcomes. There is still considerable debate about the effect of mean blood glucose (MBG) and coefficient of variation (CV) of blood glucose on the short-term mortality of AKI...
Of note, development of acute kidney disease was associated with higher mortality and need for renal replacement therapy. Conclusions The degree of acute kidney injury can identify patients who will have a higher risk of progression to acute kidney disease. These patients may benefit from close ...
