 Published on 14/05/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Guido Filler   et al. | Pediatric Nephrology 2025; aop: 10.1007/s00467-025-06784-4

Creatine, widely used by athletes to enhance performance, is generally considered safe, with rare reports of severe renal side effects such as interstitial nephritis [1] or acute tubular necrosis [2]. However, though uncommon, cases of creatine-induced AKI are of growing concern, especially in adolescents...

A comparative analysis of drug-induced kidney injury adverse reactions between cyclosporine and tacrolimus based on the FAERS database

 Published on 07/05/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Xu Min et al. | BMC Immunology 2025; 26(1): 35

Nephrotoxicity is the inability of the kidneys to properly detoxify and excrete drugs and toxic chemicals due to destruction or injury caused by endogenous or exogenous toxicants [1]. It is characterized by elevated serum creatinine and urea, decreased GFR (glomerular filtration) rate, and may be accompanied...

The predictive value of renal vascular resistance index and serum biomarkers for sepsis-associated acute kidney injury: a retrospective study

 Published on 30/04/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Huang Daofeng et al. | BMC Nephrology 2025; 26(1): 208

Sepsis, a critical and often deadly condition arising from an abnormal defensive response to infection, represents a substantial load on healthcare systems globally [1, 2–3]. It is a primary cause of morbidity and fatalities, with an approximate annual incidence of approximately 31.5 million...

Does combining urine sediment examination to renal cell arrest and damage biomarkers improve prediction of progression and mortality of sepsis associated acute kidney injury?

 Published on 23/04/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Elsayed Mohamed Mamdouh et al. | BMC Nephrology 2025; 26(1): 195

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent medical condition among hospitalized patients. AKI occurs in 31 to 65% of patients with septic shock and is linked to higher mortality and consumption of health care resources [1, 2]. A definition for sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) was developed by the Acute Disease...
