Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) biomarker.
The kidney has a remarkable capacity to withstand insults for an extended period of time. The sensitivities of individual renal cells to injury vary depending on their type, position in the nephron, local vascularization, and the nature of injury. The resulting kidney injury is a product of the interplay between cell dysfunction, cell death, proliferation, inflammation, and recovery. The Acute...
متن کاملAcute Kidney Injury (AKI) in perinatal asphyxia
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of perinatal asphyxia, occurring in upto 56% of these neonates. It is important to recognize AKI in asphyxiated neonates to facilitate administration of appropriate fluids and electrolytes in order to improve their outcome. Objectives: To determine the incidence of AKI in asphyxiated neonates and to correlate the severity and type of...
متن کاملAcute Kidney Injury (AKI) and Management of Renal Tumors
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a rapid decline in kidney function within a few hours or a few days. AKI is an independent risk factor for mortality in critically ill patients. Determination of the prevalence of AKI depends on the definition employed and on methods used for definite diagnosis. The incidence and prevalence of AKI vary with the clinical setting, based on separately ...
متن کاملGentamicin, Infections, and Acute Tubular Necrosis in Children
The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI), previously called acute kidney failure (ARF), in emergency hospitals worldwide is highly independent of its different underlying causes. The use of certain antibiotics, like gentamicin, which determines the rapid loss of kidney ability to remove waste and stabilize the balance of fluids and electrolytes, finally causing AKI in child, is well known, an...
متن کاملHemofiltration or hemodialysis for acute kidney injury?
The optimal choice of modality for acute renal replacement therapy is unclear at present. Diffusive therapy (hemodialysis) removes small solutes mainly, whereas convective therapies (hemofiltration and hemodiafiltration) may also eliminate larger molecules such as myoglobin or cytokines. Conversely, convective therapies might predispose patients to filter clotting and thus increased costs. A sy...
