Delayed graft function (DGF) refers to the acute kidney injury that occurs in the first week of kidney transplantation, which necessitates dialysis intervention. DGF is associated with higher rates of acute cellular rejection and shorter graft survivals (reviewed in [ 2 ]). It often results in changes in maintenance immunosuppression therapy
In this retrospective multicentric cohort study, we evaluate the potential benefits of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) for the automated detection of Acute kidney injury (AKI). A total of 80,389 cases, hospitalized from 2017 to 2019 at a tertiary care hospital (University of Leipzig Medical Center (ULMC)) and two primary care hospitals (Muldentalkliniken (MTL)) in Germany, were
Prerenal kidney failure, also known as acute renal failure (ARF), or acute kidney injury (AKI), is an extensively researched concept that has undergone numerous revisions in the diagnosis over the last decade. There are at least 30 biochemical definitions that have existed for AKI. The contemporary definition of acute kidney injury is based on the clinical guidelines set forth by 2012 Kidney
Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a medical condition that involves an accumulation of acid in the body due to a failure of the kidneys to appropriately acidify the urine. In renal physiology, when blood is filtered by the kidney, the filtrate passes through the tubules of the nephron, allowing for exchange of salts, acid equivalents, and other solutes before it drains into the bladder as urine.
The hepatorenal syndrome represents the end-stage of a sequence of reductions in kidney perfusion induced by increasingly severe hepatic injury. The hepatorenal syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion ( algorithm 1 ), and is associated with a poor prognosis. This topic will review the hepatorenal syndrome in detail.
sepsis. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is now recognized as a major public health problem affecting millions of patients worldwide and leading to decreased survival, increased progression of underlying chronic kidney disease (CKD), and sometimes to new onset of CKD. Recent consensus criteria for definition and classification of AKI have allowed for ZAELqN.
