Is hyperoncotic albumin administration an unrecognized resuscitation risk factor? The use of hyperoncotic albumin (HA) for shock resuscitation is controversial given concerns about its cost, effectiveness, and potential for... Read More

Baseline thrombocytopenia and platelet decrease following renal replacement therapy initiation were associated with increased mortality, and baseline thrombocytopenia was associated with decreased rates of renal recovery.... Read More

Biomarkers of Kidney Disease, Second Edition, focuses on the basic and clinical research of biomarkers in common kidney diseases, detailing the characteristics of an ideal biomarker. The latest techniques for biomarker detection,... Read More

This book describes the techniques, strategies, and drugs that have been demonstrated by at least one paper published in a peer-reviewed journal to significantly influence survival in patients with or at risk for acute kidney... Read More

The kidneys participate in all vital processes of the body to maintain overall homeostasis and health. When kidneys are injured during surgical interventions, metabolic and hemodynamic control is disrupted, leading to dysfunction... Read More

Novel biomarkers may assist in identification of acute tubular necrosis and persistent/severe acute kidney injury (AKI). Norepinephrine has been suggested to be inferior to terlipressin, with additional research required.... Read More

This comprehensive guide covers the causes, characteristics, and presentations of acute kidney injury (AKI), as well as prevention and treatment. The first part of the book features chapters on the epidemiology and diagnosis... Read More

This book covers all key aspects of critical care in pediatric nephrology, including acute dialysis in sick children. It also provides detailed protocols for managing fluid and electrolyte balance and dialysis in children... Read More

This study seeks to evaluate the association between acute kidney injury (AKI), fluid overload (FO), and mortality in children supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for refractory respiratory failure.... Read More

Acute kidney injury in survivors of critical illness predicted worse frailty status 3 and 12 months postdischarge. These findings have important implications on clinical decision making among acute kidney injury survivors... Read More

Nearly one in five critically ill children with acute kidney injury (AKI) do not experience increase in serum creatinine. These acute kidney injury events, which are only identified by urine output criteria, are associated... Read More

This meta-analysis contributes very little to the current discussion mainly because of the heterogeneity of included studies. The use of fluid type in different pathologies isn’t really what we need, but rather tailored... Read More

In patients with sepsis, recovery by hospital discharge is associated with long-term survival similar to patients without AKI. Of the 1742 patients who survived to hospital discharge, stage 2–3 AKI occurred in 262 (15%),... Read More

Hypotension thresholds that provoke renal injury, myocardial injury, and mortality in critical care patients remain unknown. We primarily sought to determine the relationship between hypotension and a composite of myocardial... Read More
