Background: Microalbuminuria and serum creatinine are the specific markers of acute renal injury. Perinatal asphyxia is responsible for 50% of all neonatal deaths and nonoliguric acute renal injuryis one of its complications. This study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of serum creatinine and microalbuminuria for early diagnosis of renal injury in severely asphyxiated neonates in Calaba...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: acute kidney injury (aki) is commonly occurred in intensive care unit (icu) patients. the aim of the study was a comparison of rifle (risk of renal injury/injury to the kidney/failure of kidney function/loss of kidney function/end stage disease) classification with other scoring systems in the evaluation of aki in icus. materials and met...

background: renal ischemia reperfusion (ir), one of the most important causative mechanisms of acute kidney injury, is a major clinical problem that occurs in some hospitalized patients. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hydroxytyrosol (ht) on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. methods: male mice were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 9): (1) sham operated, (2...

Introduction: The present study aimed to correlate renal oximetry near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) values with conventional non-invasive biomarkers for the early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Accordingly, renal NIRS can be employed as a trending device for the prevention of AKI developmen...

conclusions treatment with epo and mel had a beneficial effect on renal ir injury. the results may also indicate that mel protects against morphological damage better than epo in renal ir injury. results ischemia-reperfusion significantly decreased the observed hb and hct values. the histopathological findings in the ir group confirmed that there was an increase in the hyaline cast and thickeni...

results a significant decrease in apoptotic cells and increase in proliferative reaction were observed in the i/r + hbo group compared to the i/r group. conclusions we demonstrated that hbo suppressed apoptosis, which caused inflammation after renal i/r, and promoted tubular cell regeneration. hbo has protective effects against aki caused by renal i/r through the inhibition of apoptosis. materi...

Objective The primary objective of this study was to evaluate whether the polymorphism of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is involved as a potential risk factor in the development of acute renal injury in elderly Chinese patients with diabetes mellitus. Subjects and methods In this pilot study, diabetic patients of either gender (aged ≥65 years) with a confirmed diagnosis of acute ren...

background: acute kidney injury (aki) has been recognized as one of the most complex clinical complications in modern medicine, and ischemia/reperfusion (i/r) injury is well-known as a main reason of aki. in addition, aki leads to important systemic consequences such as acute lung injury. this study was designed to investigate the role of erythropoietin (epo) on kidney function makers and tissu...

Neonatal Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is characterized by a sudden decline in renal function, or failure of physiologic rise glomerular filtrate rate, leading to the kidneys' inability maintain fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.1,2 Despite significant attention given epidemiology acute kidney injury adult older paediatric populations, there paucity data on neonatal AKI. There has been notable lack...

Secondary renal injury in the setting of acute renal failure (ARF) is “an additional renal injury developing in the setting of a primary renal injury”. The nature of prevention of secondary renal injury in the setting of ARF may depend on the process initiating primary renal injury. It is often impossible to separate primary from secondary renal injury when the process of primary acute renal in...
