Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) following open aortic arch surgery is a frequent complication associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors for postoperative AKI in patients who underwent open aortic arch surgery utilizing hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA).

Materials And Methods: Included were 295 patients undergoing surgery between January 2011 and March 2018. AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guidelines. Preoperative and intraoperative variables were stratified by no AKI versus any AKI, and bivariate analysis was performed. Multivariable logistic regression analysis used statistically and clinically significant characteristics from the bivariate analysis.

Results: Of the 295 patients, 93 (32%) developed AKI. In the bivariate analysis, significant predictors of AKI included the following: history of hypertension (P < 0.001), diabetes (P = 0.03), operative urgency (P = 0.009), cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (P < 0.0001), HCA time (0.02), total intraoperative transfusions (P = 0.002), and concomitant procedures (coronary artery bypass grafting, or mitral/tricuspid interventions, P = 0.0009). In the multivariable analysis, significant predictors of AKI were history of hypertension (P = 0.03) and CPB time (P = 0.02). Age, operative urgency, circulatory arrest time, and any intraoperative transfusion were not significant in the multivariable analysis.

Conclusion: In conclusion, given that CPB time is the only modifiable risk factor identified in the analysis, approaches to reducing bypass time should continue to be the focus of decreasing risk for postoperative AKI in HCA cases.

Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 Lactylation Aggravates Mitochondrial Dysfunction by Disrupting PHB2 Mediated Mitophagy in Acute Kidney Injury.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a crucial event in acute kidney injury (AKI), leading to a metabolic shift toward glycolysis and increased lactate production. Lactylation, a posttranslational modification derived from lactate, plays a significant role in various cellular processes, yet its implications in AKI remain underexplored. Here, a marked increase in lactate levels and pan-Kla levels are observed in kidney tissue from AKI patients and mice, with pronounced lactylation activity in injured proximal tubular cells identified by single-cell RNA sequencing.

Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP), which is associated with mutations in the gene for a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif member 13 (ADAMTS13), is a chronic and lifelong disease. The clinical course is variable. Regularly using ADAMTS13-containing products such as fresh frozen plasma (FFP) for long-term prophylaxis is the most important treatment to prevent thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) episodes.

Association between COPD and CKD: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Xiamen Humanity Hospital Fujian Medical University, Xiamen, China.

Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are significant global health issues with a well-established association between the two. This study aims to assess the risk of developing CKD in patients with COPD through systematic review and meta-analysis, and to explore the impact of CKD on the prognosis of COPD patients.

Methods: A total of 23 studies were included in the analysis, comprising 11 studies on the risk of CKD in patients with COPD, 6 studies on the impact of CKD on the short-term all-cause mortality risk of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD), and 6 studies on the impact of CKD on the long-term all-cause mortality risk of COPD patients.

Rationale: Infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) is an immune-mediated glomerulonephritis caused by extra-renal infectious diseases. There has been an important shift in epidemiology in recent years, with a significant proportion of adults affected. The incidence of IRGN is higher amongst Indigenous populations and especially in those with multiple comorbidities.
