Critical Serum Creatinine Values in Very Preterm Newborns

BACKGROUND Renal failure in neonates is associated with an increased risk of mortality and morbidity. But critical values are not known. OBJECTIVE To define critical values for serum creatinine levels by gestational age in preterm infants, as a predictive factor for mortality and morbidity. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective study of all preterm infants born before 33 weeks of gestationa...

The relationship of ADC values of renal parenchyma with CKD stage and serum creatinine levels

PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of renal parenchyma with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage and serum creatinine levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and ten patients who had undergone magnetic resonance imaging of the upper abdomen for different reasons were retrospectively studied. A region of interest (ROI) was placed on the renal pa...

Categories of Hospital-Associated Acute Kidney Injury: Time Course of Changes in Serum Creatinine Values.

UNLABELLED Hospital-associated acute kidney injury (HA-AKI) is associated with increased inpatient mortality. Our objective was to categorize HA-AKI based on the timing of minimum and peak inpatient serum creatinine (sCr) and describe the association with inpatient mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study is a retrospective analysis of an administrative data set for adults admitted to a si...
