Abstract Background:Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) and fluid overload (FO) are common among neonates who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass, and increase mortality risk. Current diagnostic criteria may delay diagnosis. Thus,..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) stands as a pivotal intervention for patients grappling with cardiopulmonary insufficiency. However, alongside its therapeutic benefits, ECMO carries the risk of complications, with acute..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) results in poor prognosis. Several risk factors for CSA-AKI have been reported, including preoperative creatinine level, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and perioperative blood pressure..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a prevalent complication with poor outcomes, and its early prediction remains a challenging task. Currently available biomarkers for acute kidney injury (AKI)..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common complication with high morbidity and mortality. This study was designed to determine whether adding human albumin to the cardiopulmonary..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Optimal blood pressure goals during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remain uncertain and new metrics to individualize perfusion targets are needed. Critical closing pressure (Pcrit) is a fundamental property of..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To investigate the safety and efficacy of ANG-3777, a hepatocyte growth factor mimetic, in mitigating the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with..
Read MoreAbstract Around one-quarter of all patients undergoing cardiac procedures, particularly those on cardiopulmonary bypass, develop cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). This complication increases the risk of several serious morbidities..
Read MoreAbstract Background Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) enables a non-invasive measurement of tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in regions illuminated by near-infrared lights. Vascular occlusion test (VOT) serves as a model to artificially..
Read MoreAbstract 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 Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant complication in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Iron metabolism-related indicators such as ferritin may predict AKI after adult cardiac surgery. However, it..
Read MoreAbstract Background: In the PROTECTION trial, intravenous amino acids (AA) decreased the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery patients with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Recruitment of renal functional..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in up to 50% of cardiac surgical patients and is often hemodynamically mediated. Point-of-care ultrasound is a non-invasive tool that has the potential..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and important complication of cardiac surgery. Decreased perfusion is a key mechanism. This decreased perfusion may be attenuated by intravenous amino..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) poses a significant challenge in pediatric cardiac surgery, having a profound impact on patient morbidity and mortality. This study aims to determine the incidence..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To develop and validate a predictive model for acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery in Chinese patients with normal preoperative renal function. Method From January..
Read MoreAbstract Background No previous research has specifically investigated the relationship between postoperative glycemic variability (GV) and acute kidney disease (AKD) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. In this study, several methods..
Read MoreAbstract Objective This study was designed to investigate the distribution of nadir oxygen delivery (DO2), mean DO2, and area under ideal DO2 (AUiDO2) among categorized age groups of pediatric patients and..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication among patients requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during paediatric cardiac surgery. Plasma-free haemoglobin (PFH) produced by haemolysis during CPB contributes to..
Read MoreAbstract Objective We sought to explore the linear or nonlinear relationship between preoperative iron metabolism and acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery (CSA-AKI) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods Patients who..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides temporary cardiorespiratory support for neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients when traditional management has failed. This lifesaving therapy has intrinsic risks, including the development of..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To explore whether ultrafiltration (UF) volume adjusted for weight is associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery patients...
Read MoreAbstract Background This study was to analyze the roles of red blood cell distribution width (RDW), anion gap (AG) levels and their combined effects on the risk of acute kidney..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents a significant post-cardiac surgery complication, particularly prevalent among individuals with pre-existing renal dysfunction. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is frequently accompanied by persistent, low-grade..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a high-risk complication with well-recognized increased morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery attributable in large part to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-associated factors contributing..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives This study was designed to compare individualized and conventional hyperglycemic thresholds for the risk of (AKI) after cardiac surgery. Design This was an observational study. Setting The study took..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives The objective of this systematic review was to clarify the status of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in monitoring perioperative renal regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) and determine whether there..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery is a well-described phenomenon, usually associated with hemodynamic changes ultimately leading to ischemic injury to the kidneys. In this study, we assessed..
Read MoreAbstract Background Elevated renin has been shown to predict poor response to standard vasoactive therapies and is associated with poor outcomes in adults. Similarly, elevated renin was associated with mortality..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs as a complication of cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Its prevalence and severity are determined by various preoperative and intraoperative factors...
