Abstract
We tested whether circulating miRNAs in the plasma of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) at the inception of renal replacement therapy are deregulated and may predict survival.
We profiled miRNAs using RNA isolated from the plasma of patients with AKI and healthy...

Abstract
Calciphylaxis is a rare condition with dismal prognosis that affects patients with ESRD. Sodium thiosulfate (STS) may play a therapeutic role but its proposed efficacy is based on case reports and thus subject to publication bias.

Abstract
The tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a life-threatening complication caused by the massive release of nucleic acids, potassium and phosphate into the blood. This complication is the result of tumor cell lysis, which may occur due to treatment of drug sensitive and is characterized by rapid capacity of p...

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a sudden breakdown of the incretoric and excretoric functions of the kidneys. In intensive care it is always part of a multiple organ failure (MOF). It has a high incidence in intensive care (5 - 20 %), increasing up to 50 % in patients with sept...

Abstract
The intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media for diagnostic imaging is a common cause of acute kidney injury and a leading cause of iatrogenic renal disease. The purpose of this review is to describe the principal risk factors for contrast-induced acute kidney injury and to summarize...

Abstract
The depletion of vital coagulation factors and proteins in the setting of acute liver failure (ALF) is common and multifactorial. The management of critically ill patients with ALF is difficult and requires a multidisciplinary approach to effective treatment. Critical care nurses are essential in id...

Abstract
We examined the hypothetical setting of the caretakers being in the patient role. More than 90% of the nephrology professionals chose a home therapy as initial treatment option with close to equal distribution between PD and home HD. This pattern persisted for maintenance therapy with home HD being...

Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) is clinically defined as an abrupt, but in principle reversible deterioration of glomerular and tubular function. Regarding pathophysiology, ARF is caused by ischemic renal conditions and toxic mediators. Sepsis is the most common cause of ARF in the intensive care unit and...

Abstract
obese patients presented with a significantly reduced probability to die in the hospital [odds ratio 0.81 (0.66-0.98)].
Obesity is an independent risk factor for developing AKI. Our results provide further evidence that body mass impacts on survival of patients with AKI requiring ren...

Abstract
Hazard rate declined exponentially up to day 195 after ICU admission, and became constant thereafter. A total of 808 patients reached this stable stage of their disease forming the study population. Of these patients, 648 (80.2%) were still alive at the end of the second year after ICU admission. Un...

Abstract
Acute deterioration in kidney function often occurs in patients with acute and chronic liver disease admitted to hospital. The true incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is unknown due to the difficulty in accurately measuring kidney function in patients with liver failure, and the lack of a consen...

Predicting recovery of renal function following acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the top ten questions in the field of AKI research. Accurate prediction would help physicians distinguish patients with poor renal prognosis in whom further therapy is likely to be futile from those who are likely to...

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome with a broad aetiological profile. It complicates about 5% of hospital admissions and 30% of admissions to intensive care units (ICU). During last 20 years has been a significant change in the spectrum of severe AKI such that it is no longer mo...
