In 2008 there was an epidemic of renal disease affecting infants after consumption of melamine-tainted milk products. Most of the infected children were asymptomatic or with mild symptoms, and a few suffered from acute obstructive kidney injury secondary to melamine-contained renal stones (8 of 15,577 children screened at our hospital for urolithiasis). This study was intended to retrospectively review the management of acute kidney injury using continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the 8 children with acute kidney injury.

    Our results suggest that shear stress activates AMPK in ECs, which contributes to elevated eNOS activity and subsequent NO production. Hence, AMPK, in addition to serving as an energy sensor, also plays an important role in regulating vascular tone....
