Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency Is Associated With Increased Risk of Acute Kidney Injury Independent of Hemolytic Complications in Children With Severe Malaria
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common and predicts mortality in severe malaria. Studies have reported an increased incidence of AKI in males with hemolytic features of severe malaria. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, an X-linked enzymopathy, can induce hemolysis. We evaluated whether...
Development of a risk prediction model for vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury: a multicentre retrospective study
To clarify the relationship between acute kidney injury (AKI) and vancomycin use in patients with renal impairment and to establish a risk score for AKI. Methods: In this retrospective, multicentre, observational cohort study, trough and peak blood samples were collected from patients who initiated vancomycin...
Reduction of Vancomycin-Associated Acute Kidney Injury With Montelukast
Vancomycin ranks among the most utilized antimicrobial agents in the treatment of serious β-lactam-resistant gram-positive infections, but its use has been associated with nephrotoxicity. Reduction of acute kidney injury (AKI) has been reported in preclinical models with adjuvant montelukast. The...
Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Dialysis After Lung Transplantation: Factors Associated and Long-term Outcomes
Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring dialysis after lung transplantation is a significant source of morbidity. This study investigates the incidence, mortality, and variables associated with the need for dialysis. Methods: This retrospective analysis included patients aged ≥15 years who underwent lung...
Incidence and risk factors of acute kidney injury after myocardial infarction; a prospective cohort study with impact of timing of presentation on other risk factors
There is increasing trend of acute kidney injury (AKI) after myocardial infarction (MI), with incidence varying from 18.7% [1] to 26% [2]. AKI after MI has significant prognostic impact, being associated with prolonged hospital stay and increased short and long-term mortality [1, 2, 3, 4–5]. AKI...
