Unlocking the Role of Biomarkers in Acute Kidney Injury AKI
Introduction:Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a serious condition linked to high morbidity and short-term mortality. Traditionally, serum creatinine has been the gold standard for diagnosing AKI, but advancements in medical research have led to the discovery of novel biomarkers that improve early detection and treatment. These biomarkers play a critical role in assessing kidney function,…

Enhancing Acute Kidney Injury Detection in Critically Ill Children The Role of Urinary NGAL and Renal Angina Index
Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe condition affecting critically ill children, with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. The latest research explores how incorporating urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) into the Renal Angina Index (RAI) significantly improves early AKI detection.

AngioJetTM Rheolytic Thrombectomy and Acute Kidney Injury Understanding the Risks
Introduction:AngioJetTM rheolytic thrombectomy is widely used for treating deep vein thrombosis (DVT) to reduce post-thrombotic syndrome risk. However, recent findings suggest its potential to induce intravascular haemolysis, leading to acute kidney injury (AKI). A case study published in the Journal of Clinical Nephrology highlights a 37-year-old patient who developed dialysis-requiring AKI following AngioJetTM thrombectomy. For…

Title: Understanding Acute Kidney Injury in Severe Malaria: A Critical Analysis
Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication in patients with malaria, significantly impacting treatment outcomes and hospital mortality rates. A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Nephrology assessed the incidence of AKI among hospitalized malaria patients and evaluated the predictive power of the KDIGO criteria in determining the need for dialysis,…

Phenytoin-Induced Acute Tubulointerstitial Nephritis A Rare Case of Kidney Injury
Introduction: Acute Tubulointerstitial Nephritis (ATIN) is an underrecognized yet significant cause of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), often linked to medications. A recent case highlights a teenager who developed ATIN due to phenytoin use after multiple trauma incidents. Understanding drug-induced kidney injury is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention.

How Intraoperative Hemofiltration Impacts Cardiac Surgery Outcomes: A Risk-Adjusted Analysis
Introduction Intraoperative hemofiltration (HF) is an evolving technique in cardiac surgery, particularly for patients with preoperative kidney disease. Research suggests that the timing of HF—whether performed intraoperatively or postoperatively—significantly influences patient outcomes. A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Nephrology explored how intraoperative HF compares with postoperative HF in terms of mortality rates…
