Acute Kidney Injury
Part of NephTimes
Do changes in UPCR during severe AKI episodes affect how serum creatinine levels change at the time of sample collection? The American Society of Nephrology published guidance for outpatient management of patients with dialysis-requiring AKI. A study examined optimal thresholds for defining and staging AKI in neonates and young children compared with KDIGO criteria. Researchers studied variation in AKI incidence with IV antihypertensive treatment after severe hypertension. Researchers studied the associations among patient characteristics, CKRT prescription, and survival in pediatric patients. A study assessed acute kidney injury risk with PPI use in patients with cancer who received immune checkpoint inhibitors. A trial studied the efficacy of extracorporeal blood purification in reducing cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. A study examined the associations of systolic blood pressure with mortality and hospital readmission post-AKI. A partnership will put penKid assays in more labs for timely and precise kidney health assessment in critical care settings. Researchers studied predictors of acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality in a population of US veterans with COVID-19. The JuxtaFlow RAD has shown potential to protect patients from AKI after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients who experienced an acute kidney injury had a greater risk of being diagnosed with dementia after the AKI incident. Little research has focused on risk factors for and clinical outcomes of AKI in patients with SFTS. Could IV amino acid therapy result in a lower occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery? A simple risk score could help predict a patient’s susceptibility to cisplatin-associated acute kidney injury (CP-AKI). Are kidneys from donors who had dialysis more likely to result in adverse outcomes for transplant recipients? The FDA granted a patent to Unicycive Therapeutics for UNI-494, a drug to treat acute kidney injury (AKI). Patients with COVID-19–associated AKI seem to have better outcomes than those with AKI related to other respiratory ... What is the specific impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) on in-hospital mortality among octogenarian patients with COVID-19? The FDA gave Breakthrough Device designation to the JuxtaFlow RAD to help prevent AKI during cardiothoracic surgery.
