The association between potassium level during the anhepatic stage of orthotopic liver transplantation and postoperative acute kidney injury: an exploratory study
Liver transplantation (LT) has emerged as the definitive and preferred modality for hepatic replacement in end-stage liver disease patients [1]. Despite the escalating success rates of the procedure due to medical technological innovations, the postoperative outcomes, both in the short and long term,...
Energy drink-induced acute kidney injury: a case report and review of the literature
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important health problem with an increasing incidence [1]. The etiology should be defined and relevant treatment should be started swiftly [2]. Etiologies of AKI may be different for hospital-acquired (HA) and community-acquired (CA) AKIs. Infections, volume loss, glomerular...
Impact of CRRT on graft outcomes in kidney transplantation from deceased donors with severe acute kidney injury
Kidney transplantation (KT) from deceased donors (DDs) with acute kidney injury (AKI) has become increasingly common due to organ shortages. While AKI has traditionally raised concerns about graft quality, recent studies suggest that kidneys from donors with AKI can provide acceptable outcomes [1, 2–3]....
Discovery of a resistant cohort to acute kidney injury: insights from patients with septic shock
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of critical illness, increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality [1, 2–3], yet there remain no direct therapeutic options. Sepsis-associated AKI occurs in 40–50% of patients with sepsis [1] and increases mortality three to five-fold [4]....
