Sepsis, an infection-induced systemic disease, leads to pathological, physiological, and biochemical abnormalities in the body. Organ dysfunction is caused by a dysregulated host response to infection during sepsis which is a major contributing factor to acute kidney injury (AKI) and the mortality rate for sepsis doubles due to coincidence of AKI. Sepsis-induced AKI is strongly associated with increased mortality and other adverse outcomes. More timely diagnosis would allow for earlier intervention and could improve patient outcomes. Sepsis-induced AKI is characterized by a distinct pathophysiology compared with other diseases and may also have unique patterns of plasma and urinary biomarkers. This concise review summarizes properties and perspectives of the biomarkers for their individual clinical utilization.

Improved Outcomes and Resource Use With Normothermic Machine Perfusion in Liver Transplantation.
JAMA Surg
January 2025
Division of Transplant Surgery, Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic Arizona, Phoenix.
Importance: Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has been shown to reduce peritransplant complications. Despite increasing NMP use in liver transplant (LT), there is a scarcity of real-world clinical experience data.
Objective: To compare LT outcomes between donation after brain death (DBD) and donation after circulatory death (DCD) allografts preserved with NMP or static cold storage (SCS).
Improvement of lactic acidosis in pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency using custom-made amino acid-based dialysate for peritoneal dialysis.
Pediatr Nephrol
January 2025
Department of Paediatrics, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong, China.
This case report presents a newborn with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency who developed significant lactic acidosis and acute kidney injury after birth. Peritoneal dialysis with glucose-based peritoneal dialysis fluid was initially started, but the patient had worsening hyperglycemia and lactic acidosis, likely related to excess glucose reabsorption with shunting to lactate due to the underlying metabolic disorder. As amino acid-based dialysis solution was not available in our formulary, a dialysis fluid was manually created with Vaminolact, which was commonly used in neonatal parenteral nutrition.

Clin Res Cardiol
January 2025
Clinic for General and Interventional Cardiology/Angiology, Herz- und Diabeteszentrum NRW, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Georgstraße 11, 32545, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany.
Background: Impaired renal function can increase cardiac troponin levels due to reduced elimination, potentially affecting its diagnostic utility. Limited data exist on high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) kinetics after cardiac surgery relative to renal function. This study evaluates how impaired renal function influences hs-cTnI kinetics following cardiac surgery, distinguishing between patients with and without postoperative myocardial infarction (PMI).

The kidneys have a regulatory role in many diseases with their diuresis function and capacity to maintain electrolyte balance. In case of extensive damage, the kidney's filtration capacity is impaired and cannot fulfill its functions. Fluvoxamine (FLV), an antidepressant agent, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Int J Surg
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common postoperative complication, and hypotension may contribute. We therefore tested the primary hypothesis that individualized intraoperative blood pressure regulation reduces postoperative AKI in older surgical patients.
Methods: We enrolled patients ≥60 years old scheduled for elective major abdominal surgery with invasive arterial pressure monitoring.
