Background: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may result in acute kidney injury (AKI) like other angiographic interventions.
Methods: To investigate the incidence, risk factor and outcomes of AKI after TACE, defined by Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria, we retrospectively analyzed 442 TACE treatment sessions in 236 HCC patients.
Results: The incidence of AKI in the first 48 h after TACE was 9.8% (23 of 236 patients at risk). Presence of hypertension (OR 3.24, 95% CI 1.21-8.72, p = 0.02), lower baseline serum albumin (OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.15-0.56, p < 0.01) and higher creatinine level (OR 12.02, 95% CI 3.49-41.39, p < 0.01) were independent risk factors of AKI. Prolonged renal insufficiency after 1 month was observed in 24.1% of AKI episodes.
Conclusion: AKI is a common complication after TACE and we have to pay attention to the prevention and early recognition of AKI occurrence in high-risk patients.

Background: High-temperature environment can cause acute kidney injury affecting renal filtration function. To study the mechanism of renal injury caused by heat stress through activates TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway by disrupting the filtration barrier in broiler chickens. The temperature of broilers in the TN group was maintained at 23 ± 1 °C, and the HS group temperature was maintained at 35 ± 1℃ from the age of 21 days, and the high temperature was 10 h per day, and one broiler from each replicate group at the age of 35 and 42 days was selected for blood sampling, respectively.

Liver cirrhosis is a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Excessive alcohol consumption and metabolic associated steatotic liver disease are the most common etiological factors of cirrhosis in our region. Cirrhosis occurs in two well-differentiated phases, compensated and decompensated, depending on the absence or presence of complications, respectively.

Introduction: Tacrolimus-induced thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) causing acute kidney injury (AKI) without systemic features is a rare entity, particularly after non-renal solid organ transplantation.
Case Report: We describe the case of a patient with AKI after combined heart and lung transplantation. Renal biopsy revealed acute thrombotic microangiopathy which ultimately prompted initiation of eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeted against complement C5, with subsequent recovery in renal function.

Long non-coding RNA TMC3-AS1 is identified to be upregulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in inflammatory disease, but its role in acute kidney injury (AKI) is almost unknown. The study investigated the involvement of TMC3-AS1 in LPS-induced AKI and its downstream molecular regulatory mechanism. Our data suggested that knocking down TMC3-AS1 significantly reduced renal dysfunction, tissue inflammation and tissue damage in LPS-induced mice, and promoted cell viability, inhibited inflammation, apoptosis and necrosis in LPS-stimulated human renal tubular epithelial cells HK2.

Background: Little is known about how younger and older hospitalized patients differ with respect to reasons for admission, comorbidities, diagnostics, treatment and intercurrent problems.
Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the previously named characteristics in the clinical profile of patients > 90 years old (nonagenarians) with a control group of patients 70-75 years old admitted to an emergency hospital department for internal medicine and cardiology.
Material And Method: The study included all consecutive nonagenarians and gender-matched control patients who were admitted during 2011.
