Article Abstract
Background: Residual renal function (RRF) confers survival in patients with ESRD but declines after initiating hemodialysis. Previous research shows that dialysate cooling reduces hemodialysis-induced circulatory stress and protects the brain and heart from ischemic injury. Whether hemodialysis-induced circulatory stress affects renal perfusion, and if it can be ameliorated with dialysate cooling to potentially reduce RRF loss, is unknown.
Methods: We used renal computed tomography perfusion imaging to scan 29 patients undergoing continuous dialysis under standard (36.5°C dialysate temperature) conditions; we also scanned another 15 patients under both standard and cooled (35.0°C) conditions. Imaging was performed immediately before, 3 hours into, and 15 minutes after hemodialysis sessions. We used perfusion maps to quantify renal perfusion. To provide a reference to another organ vulnerable to hemodialysis-induced ischemic injury, we also used echocardiography to assess intradialytic myocardial stunning.
Results: During standard hemodialysis, renal perfusion decreased 18.4% (<0.005) and correlated with myocardial injury (=-0.33; <0.05). During sessions with dialysis cooling, patients experienced a 10.6% decrease in perfusion (not significantly different from the decline with standard hemodialysis), and ten of the 15 patients showed improved or no effect on myocardial stunning.
Conclusions: This study shows an acute decrease in renal perfusion during hemodialysis, a first step toward pathophysiologic characterization of hemodialysis-mediated RRF decline. Dialysate cooling ameliorated this decline but this effect did not reach statistical significance. Further study is needed to explore the potential of dialysate cooling as a therapeutic approach to slow RRF decline.

Background: Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) is becoming the main preservation method for donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidneys. It can provide continuous flow and form shear stress (SS) upon endothelial cells (ECs), thereby regulating EC injury. Krüppel-like factor 10 (KLF10) has been shown to lessen vascular damage.

Background: Retroperitoneal abscesses caused by donor-derived Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae (CRKP) infections are rare and often challenging to diagnose early due to a lack of specific symptoms.
Case Presentation: In case one, a 64-year-old male presented with unexplained fever and emaciation three months after undergoing a kidney transplant for end-stage renal disease. Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing identified CRKP in peripheral blood samples, and CT scans confirmed a retroperitoneal abscess.

Objectives: This study investigates the impact of bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion time on outcomes in aortic arch surgery.
Methods: In total, 961 patients underwent either hemi arch (n = 385) or total arch replacement (n = 576) with bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion and moderate hypothermia management between 2006 and 2020 across 2 aortic centers. Antegrade cerebral perfusion time was categorized into 4 groups (≤30 min: n = 169, 30-60min: n = 298, 60-90min: n = 261, >90min: n = 233).

Background And Objective: Critical bedside ultrasound is widely used in clinical practice, and it can monitor renal perfusion. The reduction of renal perfusion and inflammatory injury are two contributing factors to sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI).The aim of this study was to examine whether the oXiris filter was useful in the continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT) treatment of SA-AKI patients.

Background: Vascular calcification (VC), especially coronary artery calcification (CAC), serves as a robust predictor of cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Recent studies have revealed that the presence of extra-coronary calcifications (ECCs) contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Elevated myocardial injury markers predict mortality risk in CKD patients and are associated with CVD.
