There are various causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). Previously published textbooks by other authors classify these causes into three categories, partly for the purpose of differentiation (Sesso, Am J Kidney Dis 44:410–419, 2004). This chapter provides a general explanation of the causes of...
Incidence of HIV-related mortality was higher than that of non-HIV-related mortality, even in more recent years, likely due to late presentation. Tuberculosis was the leading specific COD identified, particularly soon after enrolment, while in later calendar years cardiovascular and renal causes emerg...
To assess the presence of C activation in the areas of renal injury induced by PsTX-T, tissue sections were incubated either with fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled goat anti-rat C3 (Cappel Laboratories, Cochranville, PA), or with an in-house rabbit anti-rat C9 followed by fluorescein ...
Patients with sepsis have higher serum levels of hyaluronan than non-septic patients and urine hyaluronan levels predict both renal failure and mortality in patients with sepsis [40], [41]. While increases in circulating hyaluronan during sepsis have been described, upregulation of endogenous ...
Majority of patient, 89% were multigravidas. Seventy eight percent patients required hemodialysis. Primary postpartum hemorrhage remained the commonest underlying cause of pregnancy related acute kidney injury in this study. The frequency of persistent renal failure in Pr-AKI (pregnancy related acute ...
Post-transplantation anemiaPTABackground Post transplantation anemia (PTA) is common among kidney transplant patients. PTA is associated with increased graft loss and in most studies with increased mortality. However, the effect of the severity of anemia on this associations was not thoroughly evaluated...
The number of PCNA-positive cells was decreased (Fig. 2C), whereas that of γH2AX-positive cells was elevated in the LTL-positive tubules of infected mice on day seven (Fig. 2D). These results suggest that SARS- CoV-2 infection causes AKI mainly by interrupting the renal circulation....

The dietary consumption of cuprizone – a copper chelator – has long been known to induce demyelination of specific brain structures and is widely used as model of multiple sclerosis. Despite the extensive use of cuprizone, the mechanism by which it ind
