Published: June 2019

In addition to the early detection of an acute kidney injury (AKI), several problems or questions have to be addressed. These include the identification of the etiology, the severity (functional or structural), the prognosis (recovery or transition to chronic renal failure), the course of the disease (dialysis or not), and the identification of specific treatment options for AKI. The following article provides an overview of established and new AKI biomarkers as well as an outlook on the potential of future biomarker-associated models of AKI.

Background: Multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-KP) infections pose a significant global healthcare challenge, particularly due to the high mortality risk associated with septic shock. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based model to predict the risk of MDR-KP-associated septic shock, enabling early risk stratification and targeted interventions.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1,385 patients with MDR-KP infections admitted between January 2019 and June 2024.

Because acute kidney injuries (AKI) are one of the critical health problems worldwide, studies on the risk factors, mechanisms, and treatment strategies seem necessary. Glycerol (GLY), known to induce cell necrosis via myoglobin accumulation in renal tubules, is widely used as an AKI model. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of gallic acid (GA) against GLY-induced AKI.

Organ fibrosis, considered as a major global health concern, is a pathological condition often occurring after tissue injury in various organs. The pathogenesis of fibrosis involves multiple phases and multiple cell types. Dopamine is involved in various life activities by activating five receptors (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5).

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have shown benefits in improving cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) and may mitigate symptom progression in myocardial infarction (MI). However, their effectiveness in patients with type 2 diabetes and MI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unclear.

Methods: To identify eligible studies, a comprehensive search of electronic databases, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Embase, was conducted from inception until May 2024.

Background: Prognosis assessments for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients remain challenging, particularly as the indications for TAVI expand to lower-risk patients. This study assessed the prognostic value of the tricuspid regurgitation impact on outcomes (TRIO) score in patients after TAVI.

Methods: This single-center study included 530 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI.
