Urinary TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 for the Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury Following Cardiac Surgery
Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery is common and associated with poor patient outcomes. Early risk assessment for development of AKI remains a challenge. The combination of urinary tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) has been shown to be an excellent predictor of AKI following cardiac surgery.
Acute Kidney Injury After Primary Angioplasty: Is Contrast-Induced Nephropathy the Culprit
Acute kidney injury (AKI) following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is frequently interpreted as contrast-induced AKI but may result from other insults. We aimed to determine the causal association of contrast material exposure and the incidence of AKI following pPCI using a control group of propensity score-matched patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction who were not exposed to contrast material.
Effect of Continuous Dialysis on Blood pH in Acidemic Hypercapnic Animals with Severe Acute Kidney Injury: A Randomized Experimental Study Comparing High VS. Low Bicarbonate Affluent
Controlling blood pH during acute ventilatory failure and hypercapnia in individuals suffering from severe acute kidney injury (AKI) and undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is of paramount importance in critical care settings.
Renal Function and Outcomes With Use of Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation and Inotropes in End-Stage Heart Failure: A Retrospective Single Center Study
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and inotrope therapy serve as a bridge to transplant (BTT) or as destination therapy in patients who are not heart transplant candidates. End-stage heart failure patients often have impaired renal function, and renal outcomes after LVAD therapy versus inotrope therapy have not been evaluated.
Independent Risk Factors Contributing to Acute Kidney Injury According to Updated Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 Criteria After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A Meta-analysis and Meta-regression of 13 Studies.
This study aimed to examine the risk factors for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) according to the AKI definition from the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 (VARC-2).
Early Serum Creatinine Accurately Predicts Acute Kidney Injury Post Cardiac Surgery
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a well recognized complication of cardiac surgery. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
Acute Kidney Injury Risk Factors For ICU Patients Following Cardiac Surgery: The Application of Joint Modeling
The goal of this study was to determine the effects of some AKI (acute kidney injury) risk factors on AKI and also to investigate changes in UO (urinary output) as a predictor of AKI using joint modeling.
Urinary TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 for the Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury Following Cardiac Surgery
Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery is common and associated with poor patient outcomes. Early risk assessment for development of AKI remains a challenge.
Reassessment of Acute Kidney Injury after Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Study
The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence, risk, or protective factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after cardiac surgery based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.
