BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although associated with increased morbidity and mortality, AKI has not been systematically examined in military personnel injured from combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. DESIGN, SETTINGS, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Patients evacuated from Iraq and Afghanistan to a burn unit were examined. AKI was classified by the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) and Ris...

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The long-term association between AKI and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in an Asian population is unknown. Given the high prevalence of diabetes and a younger age of presentation for cardiac surgery, it is important to track this progression of kidney disease. Therefore, we studied ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although several standardized definitions for AKI have been developed, no consensus exists regarding which to use in children. This study applied the Pediatric RIFLE (pRIFLE), AKI Network (AKIN), and Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria to an anonymized cohort of hospitalizations extracted from the electronic medical record to compare AKI incidence...

BACKGROUND Renal injury is a serious complication after cardiac surgery and therefore, early detection and much more prediction of postoperative kidney injury is desirable. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a predictive biomarker of acute kidney injury and may increase after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, time correlation of NGAL expression and severity of renal injur...

BACKGROUND Aminoglycosides (AG) cause acute kidney injury (AKI), but the incidence and severity distribution are unclear, particularly in non-critically ill children. We determined the incidence, severity and risk factors of AG-associated AKI and assessed for associations with longer hospitalization and higher costs. METHODS At Texas Children's Hospital, we conducted a retrospective cohort st...
