Objectives: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is commonly encountered in patients hospitalized for decompensated cirrhosis and is associated with prolonged hospital stays, increased treatment burden, and even mortality. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of and develop a predictive nomogram for AKI in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.
Methods: This cross-sectional, double-center study involved 544 patients hospitalized with decompensated cirrhosis.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how lowering uric acid levels can impact the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) over three months in patients not on dialysis.
- Researchers conducted a study with 126 CKD patients, finding a high prevalence of hyperuricemia and identifying factors like diet and BMI that influence uric acid levels.
- Results showed that a combination of diet changes and uric acid-lowering medication significantly improved kidney function, with nearly half of the patients reaching target uric acid levels in three months.
Cassaine diterpenoids as erythrofordins A-C (1-3), pseudo-erythrosuamin (4), and erythrofordin U (5) isolated from the leaves of Vietnamese Erythrophleum fordii Oliver were tested cytotoxic activity against human leukemia cancer cells. The results showed that these metabolites exhibited dose-dependent cytotoxicity against human leukemia HL-60 and KG cells with IC values ranging from 15.2 ± 1.
