COVID-19 in chronic hemodialysis patients: A report of 9 cases in Madrid, Spain.

Introduction: In December 2019, a new respiratory disease, named COVID-19, caused by a novel coronavirus, emerged in Wuhan and since then spread rapidly throughout China and worldwide.

Clinical risk factors for the prediction of acute kidney injury post cardiac resynchronization therapy in an elderly population.

Background: Data on the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation is limited and no previous studies investigated its impact in an elderly population. CRT implantation requires a relatively low quantity of contrast medium. Previous studies, however, focused primarily on contrast medium as etiological factor for AKI, reporting a high incidence (8-14%).
