Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a useful marker for acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly when the timing of renal insult known. However, its performance in an adult critical care setting has not been well described. We performed this study to estimate diagnostic accuracy plasma NGAL early detection AKI and need replacement therapy (RRT) intensive unit (ICU). enrolled 307 consecutive patients admitted general medical-surgical ICU; 301 were included final analysis....
Abstract Introduction In ICUs, both fluid overload and oliguria are common complications associated with increased mortality among critically ill patients, particularly in acute kidney injury (AKI). Although is an expected complication of oliguria, it remains unclear whether their effects on independent each other. The aim this study to evaluate the impact balance urine volume outcomes determine they behave as predictors adult ICU patients AKI. Methods We performed a secondary analysis data...
The previously published "Dose Response Multicentre International Collaborative Initiative (DoReMi)" study concluded that the high mortality of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) was unlikely to be related an inadequate dose renal replacement therapy (RRT) and other factors were contributing. This follow-up aimed investigate impact daily fluid balance accumulation on without AKI (N-AKI), RRT (AKI-RRT) receiving adequate RRT.We prospectively enrolled all consecutive...
The epidemiology of acute kidney injury (AKI) has been difficult to explore in the past, due different definitions across various studies. Nevertheless, this is a very important topic today light high morbidity and mortality critically ill patients presenting renal dysfunction during their stay intensive care unit (ICU). case mix changed over years, AKI common problem often requiring replacement therapy (RRT). RIFLE AKIN initiatives have provided unifying definition for AKI, making possible...
Disease biomarkers require appropriate clinical context to be used effectively. Combining risk factors, in addition small changes serum creatinine, has been proposed improve the assessment of AKI. This notion was developed order identify AKI early a patient's course. We set out assess performance this combination approach.A secondary analysis data from prospective multicenter intensive care unit cohort study (September 2009 April 2010) performed. Patients at high using approach were defined...
While fluid overload (FO) and alterations in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) such as hypersympathetic activity, are known risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity mortality patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD), their relationship has not been thoroughly studied. In this observational study involving 69 HD, FO was assessed by whole body bioimpedance measurements before midweek HD session ANS activity reflected Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measured using 24-hour Holter electrocardiogram...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Remote monitoring (RM) supports a healthcare model that enhances patients’ self-management. We evaluated the utility of RM in patients undergoing automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> observed 37 RM-APD patients, 16 incidents, and 21 prevalents switched from traditional APD (T-APD). number changes for prescription, frequency visits, PD adequacy parameters during 1 year utilization APD....
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosis is based on a rise in serum creatinine and/or fall urine output. It has been shown that there are patients fulfill AKI definition but do not have AKI, and also with evidence of renal who meet any criteria for AKI. Recently the innovative emerging proteomic technology enabled identification novel biomarkers allow improved risk stratification. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Tissue inhibitor...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalization is associated with increased complications and mortality. Despite efforts to standardize AKI management, its recognition in clinical practice limited.
Background Increased oxidant stress is increasingly recognized as a crucial factor in anemia patients with chronic kidney disease. Vitamin E-coated membranes (VECMs) consist of multilayer membrane liposoluble vitamin E on the blood surface allowing direct free radical scavenging at site, which potential clinical benefit. Our objective was to examine effect VECMs hemodialysis (HD). Methods We enrolled 172 stable HD (94 men, 78 women, age 65.4 ± 13.4 years) an open-label multicenter study....
High retention onset (HRO) is the designation for a new class of hemodialysis membranes. A unique characteristic this highly selective and controlled porosity resulting in sieving properties that provide clinically desirable balance between middle/large molecular weight solute removal albumin loss. Another defining feature membrane relatively small fiber diameter, which produces high convective volumes form internal filtration. The aim present study was to estimate, by semi-empirical...
