Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 is a disease caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2 and can make people very sick or even worse.
- A study looked at a 42-year-old woman who had two kidney transplants and got really bad COVID-19, so she received special treatment with convalescent plasma.
- After the treatment, doctors saw that the amount of virus in her body decreased and her immune response improved, which is a good sign for her recovery.
Purpose: To describe the kidney histopathology of patients with S-AKI and correlate the histological findings with AKI severity, presence of septic shock, and the degree of multiple organic dysfunction (MOD) using the SOFA score.
Materials And Methods: This was a prospective, observational, and analytical study of a cohort of critically ill patients with S-AKI who died from sepsis at the "Hospital Español" intensive care unit (ICU). Kidney necropsies were performed within 2 h after death.
Effect of a Resuscitation Strategy Targeting Peripheral Perfusion Status vs Serum Lactate Levels on 28-Day Mortality Among Patients With Septic Shock: The ANDROMEDA-SHOCK Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA
February 2019
Importance: Abnormal peripheral perfusion after septic shock resuscitation has been associated with organ dysfunction and mortality. The potential role of the clinical assessment of peripheral perfusion as a target during resuscitation in early septic shock has not been established.
Objective: To determine if a peripheral perfusion-targeted resuscitation during early septic shock in adults is more effective than a lactate level-targeted resuscitation for reducing mortality.
