Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common, heterogeneous, multifactorial condition, which is part of the overarching syndrome of acute kidney diseases and disorders. This condition's incidence highest in low-income..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Novel biomarkers of acute kidney injury (AKI) are being developed and commercialized. However, none are universally available. The aim of this preliminary prospective observational study was to explore the..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 42%–64% of the neonatal patients experiencing cardiac surgery, contributing to postoperative morbidity and mortality. Current diagnostic criteria, which are mainly based on..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury occurs commonly following congenital heart surgery and is associated with adverse outcomes. This study represents the first multicenter study of neonatal cardiac surgery–associated acute..
Read MoreAbstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is now recognized as a heterogeneous syndrome that not only affects acute morbidity and mortality, but also a patient’s long-term prognosis. In this narrative review,..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: The renal medulla is susceptible to hypoxia during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which may contribute to the development of acute kidney injury. But the speed of onset of renal..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To evaluate the association of intraoperative urinary biomarker excretion during cardiac surgery and the subsequent development of acute kidney injury (AKI). Design Prospective, nonrandomized, observational study. Setting Single..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major complication after cardiovascular surgery. The unclear etiology of this highly complex event challenges definition, diagnosis and prediction of AKI, and hence..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: This study explored the nature of the association between intraoperative usage of red blood cell, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate or platelet transfusions and acute kidney injury. Methods: A..
Read MoreAbstract Background The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of in‐hospital acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery by comparing preoperative baseline renal function with renal function..
