Prognostic value of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays an important role in the initiation and progression of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, evidence regarding the prognostic effect of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), a novel systemic inflammation marker, among patients with AKI is scarce. In this study, we investigated the value of the PLR in predicting the outcomes of critically ill patients with AKI. M...
متن کاملAcute kidney injury in children: incidence and prognostic factors in critically ill patients
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a sudden and generally revertible renal function impairment, involving inability to maintain the homeostasis, and may or not be accompanied by reduced diuresis.(1-5) Usually, AKI may be categorized as pre-renal, related to reduced renal blood flow (RBF) for inappropriate cardiac output or intravascular volume; intrinsic renal disease, from an insult...
متن کاملHigh creatinine clearance in critically ill patients with community-acquired acute infectious meningitis
BACKGROUND A high dose of anti-infective agents is recommended when treating infectious meningitis. High creatinine clearance (CrCl) may affect the pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic relationships of anti-infective drugs eliminated by the kidneys. We recorded the incidence of high CrCl in intensive care unit (ICU) patients admitted with meningitis and assessed the diagnostic accuracy of two comm...
متن کاملFluid Overload in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Kidney Injury
Fluid overload may occur in critically ill patients as a result of aggressive resuscitation therapies. In such circumstances, persistent fluid overload must be avoided since it does not benefit the patient while it may be harmful. In the septic patient, early volume expansion seems to be beneficial. Beyond that threshold, when organ failure develops, fluid overload has been shown to be associat...
