Aim: In two recent studies, we observed that a 30-min renal vein clamping caused formation of interstitial haemorrhagic congestion in ischaemic and ischaemic/reperfused kidney along with the development of severer acute kidney injury (AKI) than renal artery or pedicle clamping. It was suggested that the transmission of high arterial pressure into renal microvessels during vein occlusion probably causes the occurrence of interstitial haemorrhagic congestion that augments AKI. The present investigation aimed to evaluate this suggestion by reducing renal perfusion pressure (RPP) during renal venous occlusion.

As such, we decided to research the publications in which the authors reported the impacts of COVID-19 vaccination in patients suffering from hematologic malignancies.
