Exploration of mortality-associated creatinine thresholds for acute kidney injury in cardiac surgery patients with impaired kidney function: a single-center retrospective cohort study
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication following cardiac surgery, with an incidence ranging between 20% and 40% [1, 2, 3–4]. Patients with preexisting kidney impairment are especially at risk for developing AKI after cardiac surgery [5, 6], which significantly increases the likelihood...
A case of severe leptospirosis complicated with massive rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury: a case report
Leptospirosis caused by the genus Leptospira is a reemerging and neglected waterborne zoonotic infection that causes approximately 1 million morbidities and 60,000 mortalities annually on a global scale [1, 2]. Currently, the disease is not confined solely to rural areas; it has also become...

AKI in ACLF: navigating the complex therapeutic puzzle
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is driven by the severity of systemic inflammation, acute portal hypertension driving circulatory dysfunction, hyperbilirubinemia, and toxicity of bile acids. The spectrum is mostly structural, associated with reduced response...
