Elevated BP after AKI

Targeting Endogenous Repair Pathways after AKI.

AKI remains a highly prevalent disease associated with poor short- and long-term outcomes and high costs. Although significant advances in our understanding of repair after AKI have been made over the last 5 years, this knowledge has not yet been translated into new AKI therapies. A consensus conference held by the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative was convened in April of 2014 and reviewed new...

Cardiovascular events after AKI: a new dimension.

Endotoxin and AKI: Macrophages Protect after Preconditioning.

Sepsis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients, with AKI serving as an ominous prognostic factor. According to the current literature, the pathogenesis of AKI-induced sepsis, albeit being poorly understood, is thought to be multifactorial.1 Consequently, therapeutic interventions to curtail deterioration in kidney function in the setting of sepsis have beenmost...

Subclinical AKI is still AKI

The concept of acute kidney syndromes has shifted in recent years from acute renal failure to acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI implies injury or damage but not necessarily dysfunction. The human kidney has an important glomerular function reserve, and dysfunction becomes evident only when more than 50% of the renal mass is compromised. Recent AKI classifications include even slight changes in ser...

In recent years, many efforts have been made to reduce pollution in compression ignition engines. Dimethyl ether is one of the methods to achieve this goal due to its special properties such as high Cetane number and low pollution. Also, one of the parameters that plays an important role in improving combustion and engine performance is fuel injection pressure. In the present study, a numerical...
