A Review of Electronic Early Warning Systems for Acute Kidney Injury.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by impaired renal function that can result in irreversible severe renal impairment or lifelong dependence on renal replacement therapy in some cases. Early intervention can significantly slow down the progression of AKI and reduce mortality. In recent years, electronic early warning systems for patients with AKI have been gaining attention as a potential clinical decision-support option.

miR-21-5p in extracellular vesicles obtained from adipose tissue-derived stromal cells facilitates tubular epithelial cell repair in acute kidney injury.

Background Aims: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is often associated with poor patient outcomes. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have a marked therapeutic effect on renal recovery. This study sought to explore the functional mechanism of EVs from adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) in tubular epithelial cell (TEC) repair in AKI.

The influence of multidisciplinary team clinic on the prognosis of patients with chronic kidney disease.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) seriously affects the quality of life and survival time of patients, and even affects social and national economic development. In China, how to effectively control the disease process of CKD outpatients has not been determined. A retrospective analysis was made to 100 patients with CKD.

The predict value of serum/urocystatin C on acute kidney injury in elderly patients with sepsis.

Objective: To evaluate the predict value of serum/urocystatin C in acute kidney injury (AKI) in elderly patients with sepsis.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed and 80 senile patients with sepsis in ** hospital of China was included. According to the diagnosis of AKI, all patients were divided into non-AKI group and AKI group.

The Effect of Sodium Thiosulfate on Coronary Artery Calcification in Hemodialysis Patients.

This study aimed to effectively control the disease process of hemodialysis outpatients. Hemodialysis secondary hyperparathyroidism patients were randomly divided into the control group and treatment group. The control group was treated with routine treatment, and the treatment group was treated with sodium thiosulfate based on the control group.

Comparison of prognosis between emergency and scheduled hemodialysis.

Background: The survival rate of patients undergoing hemodialysis and other renal replacement therapies has been extensively studied, but comparative studies of emergency and scheduled hemodialysis are limited.

Methods: This study included 312 patients who underwent emergency hemodialysis and 274 who received scheduled hemodialysis. We investigated the prognostic differences between these two groups of patients, including the short-term and long-term survival rates.

Impact of timing of initiation of dialysis on long-term prognosis of patients undergoing hemodialysis.

There are a lot of controversies pertaining to correctness of timing for the initiation of dialysis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The present study was conducted to examine the potential association of initiation timing of dialyses with long-term prognosis in CKD patients. In total, 294 patients confirmed as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were included as study subjects.

Ceramide Production Mediates Aldosterone-Induced Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cell (HUVEC) Damages.

Here, we studied the underlying mechanism of aldosterone (Aldo)-induced vascular endothelial cell damages by focusing on ceramide. We confirmed that Aldo (at nmol/L) inhibited human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) survival, and induced considerable cell apoptosis. We propose that ceramide (mainly C18) production might be responsible for Aldo-mediated damages in HUVECs.
