Exploring the Utility of Renal Resistive Index in Critical Care: Insights into ARDS and Cardiac Failure

Summary of “Exploring the Utility of Renal Resistive Index in Critical Care: Insights into ARDS and Cardiac Failure” Abstract The renal resistive index (RRI), a Doppler ultrasound-derived metric, offers a non-invasive window into renal hemodynamics, especially relevant in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and heart failure (HF). This narrative review explores RRI’s physiological […]

Advancements in understanding the mechanisms of lung–kidney crosstalk

Abstract This narrative review delves into the intricate interplay between the lungs and the kidneys, with a focus on elucidating the pathogenesis of diseases influenced by immunological factors, acid–base regulation, and blood gas disturbances, as well as assessing the effects of various therapeutic modalities on these interactions. Key disorders, such as anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM)

Drug-Induced Acute Kidney Injury

Abstract Medications are a common cause of AKI, especially for patients admitted to hospital wards and the intensive care unit. Although drug-related kidney injury occurs through different mechanisms, this review will focus on three specific types of tubulointerstitial injury. Direct acute tubular injury develops from several medications, which are toxic to various cellular functions. Their

The Prognostic Role of RDW in Hospitalized Heart Failure Patients with and Without Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF) are interrelated conditions that exacerbate each other through mechanisms like fluid retention, neurohormonal activation, and inflammation. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of red blood cell size variability, has emerged as a potential prognostic marker in HF. This study aimed to assess the prognostic
