AKI Occurs in 7 Percent of Those Hospitalized With COVID-19
Acute kidney injury linked to in-hospital mortality, even after adjustment for confounding variables.
Acute Kidney Injury
Acute Kidney Injury Increases Death Risk in COVID-19
AKI occurs frequently among patients admitted to hospitals with COVID-19, and it independently predicts an increased risk of in-hospital mortality.
How Cancer Care Can Affect the Kidney
Recent advances in cancer management may present challenges for nephrologists.
AKI Risk in COVID-19 Cases Linked to Urinary Biomarkers
Patients who experienced acute kidney injury during hospitalization for COVID-19, compared with those who did not, had greater proteinuria and ɑ1-microglobulin excretion at admission, a study found.
Renal Complications in COVID-19 Described
Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who have preexisting kidney conditions are more susceptible to renal complications, a new systematic review and meta-analysis suggest.
Accelerated Initiation of RRT Provides No Survival Advantage in AKI
In a randomized trial, investigators observed no significant survival difference between acute kidney injury patients who did and did not initiate renal replacement therapy within 12 hours.
Methotrexate-Induced Acute Kidney Injuries in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies
Upon starting methotrexate treatment, LDH and albumin levels may be signals for AKIs in patients with hematologic malignancies.
Intensive RRT May Increase Risk for Mechanical Ventilation Extubation Failure
In critically ill patients with acute kidney injury, more intensive renal replacement therapy may lead to a greater risk of failure to extubate from mechanical ventilation.
Kidney Failure Due to AKI May Be More Life-Threatening
Kidney failure due to acute kidney injury is associated with a significantly higher death risk in the first 6 months following dialysis initiation than kidney failure resulting from diabetes, a study found.
Acute Kidney Injury Linked to Lower Kidney Stone Risk
In a propensity score matched analysis, patients with a history of acute kidney injury (AKI) had a significant 43% lower risk of kidney stones than those who never experienced AKI.
