The Utility of the Creatinine Excretion to Production Ratio and the Plasma Creatinine and Cystatin C Based Kinetic Estimates of Glomerular Filtration Rates in Critically Ill Patients with Sepsis.

Introduction: Creatinine kinetics denotes that under steady-state conditions, creatinine production (G) will equal creatinine excretion rate (E). The glomerular filtration (GFR) is impaired when excretion is less than production. The kinetic estimate of GFR (keGFR) and E/G ratio were proposed as a more accurate estimate of GFR in acute settings with rapidly changing kidney function.

The Impact of Educational Intervention on Attitude Toward Organ Donation Among Health Care Workers in Malaysia.

Background: The attitudes of the health care workers (HCWs) are essential in influencing organ donation rate. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of an educational intervention on attitudes toward organ donation among HCWs.

Methods: A questionnaire-based interventional study was conducted with 458 HCW from 5 hospitals in Malaysia.

Acute Kidney Injury in Malaysian Intensive Care Setting: Incidences, Risk Factors, and Outcome.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in the intensive care unit (ICU) with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. The high incidence of AKI in our population may be attributed to sepsis. We investigated the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of AKI in four tertiary Malaysian ICUs.
