Chicken pox is mostly a benign infection of childhood and caused by Varicella Zoster Virus which generally does not lead to any serious complication in an immunocompetent host. Severe potentially lethal complications like varicella pneumonia, encephalitis acute kidney injury are known entity adults but very rare paediatric age group. We present case Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) the form tubulointe...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the progression and/or improvement of acute kidney injury in critically ill children is associated with mortality. DESIGN Retrospective. SETTING Multidisciplinary, tertiary care, 24-bed PICU. PATIENTS A TOTAL OF: 8,260 patients who were 1 month to 21 years old with no chronic kidney disease admitted between May 2003 and March 2012. INTERVENTIONS We analyze...

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs if the kidneys suddenly lose their ability to remove waste products. When the kidneys lose their ability to filter, dangerous levels of waste products can accumulate, which can upset the chemical composition of the blood and urine. Chemotherapy is one of the methods used to treat or temporarily reduce cancer by using certain medications. The main task of this tr...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the behavior of fractional excretion of potassium in the course of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients. METHODS As part of a larger study in which we have evaluated blood and urinary parameters in the course of acute kidney injury, 168 patients were included. Blood and urine samples were collected daily until the removal of the urinary catheter or the initiati...

objective(s):recently cell therapy is a promising therapeutic modality for many types of disease including acute kidney injury (aki). due to the unique biological properties, mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are attractive cells in this regard. this study aims to transplant mscs equipped with nuclear factor e2-related factor 2 (nrf2) in rat experimental models of acute kidney and evaluate regenera...

Background: Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical syndrome that results in releasing myoglobin content from damaged muscle cells into circulation and often causes acute kidney injury (1). Different mechanisms are considered to be responsible in rhabdomyolysis and renal failure. However, free radical generation is the most important mechanism resulting in kidney injury. Thus, the effect ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The early detection of acute kidney injury may allow for timely preventive or therapeutic measures. This review discusses the role of traditional and novel biomarkers in early acute kidney injury diagnosis. RECENT FINDINGS Detection of acute kidney injury relies on changes in serum creatinine and urea. These are not ideal and do not reflect genuine injury or real-time change...

background: two questions about diagnostic value of urinary neutrophil gelatin associated lipocalin (ungal) in detection of acute kidney injury (aki) in children have remained unanswered; first, which cut-off point of ungal has the highest value in detection of aki; and second when is the best time for measuring this biomarker in a patient? accordingly, the present study aimed to conduct a syst...
