The risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) following severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients is well documented, but not after less severe AKI. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term incidence of CKD after non-severe AKI in critically ill patients. This prospective single-center observational three-years follow-up study was conducted in the medical intensive care unit in Bordeaux's hospital (France). From 2013 to 2015, all patients with severe (kidney disease improving global outcomes (KDIGO) stage 3) and non-severe AKI (KDIGO stages 1, 2) were enrolled. Patients with prior eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m were excluded. Primary outcome was the three-year incidence of CKD stages 3 to 5 in the non-severe AKI group. We enrolled 232 patients. Non-severe AKI was observed in 112 and severe AKI in 120. In the non-severe AKI group, 71 (63%) were male, age was 62 ± 16 years. The reason for admission was sepsis for 56/112 (50%). Sixty-two (55%) patients died and nine (8%) were lost to follow-up. At the end of the follow-up the incidence of CKD was 22% (9/41); Confidence Interval (CI) (9.3-33.60)% in the non-severe AKI group, tending to be significantly lower than in the severe AKI group (44% (14/30); CI (28.8-64.5)%; = 0.052). The development of CKD three years after non-severe AKI, despite it being lower than after severe AKI, appears to be a frequent event highlighting the need for prolonged follow-up.

Article Synopsis
  • The research investigates the link between preoperative severe asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (ACAS) and the occurrence of severe multi-organ dysfunction in patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB).
  • In a study involving 562 patients, 63 (11.2%) were found to have severe ACAS, which was associated with higher rates of organ dysfunction and increased 30-day adverse outcomes post-surgery.
  • The findings suggest that severe ACAS is an independent risk factor for severe multi-organ dysfunction and major cardiovascular events, including strokes, following OPCAB procedures.

Effect of Renin-Angiotensin System Blockers in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients with Acute Kidney Injury.

Cardiorenal Med

April 2024

Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Introduction: Renin-angiotensin system blockers (RASBs) are known to improve mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, there remain uncertainties regarding treatment with RASBs after AMI in patients with renal dysfunction and especially in the setting of acute kidney injury (AKI).

Methods: Patients from a multicenter AMI registry undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in Korea were stratified and analyzed according to the presence of AKI, defined as an increase in serum creatinine levels of ≥0.

Background And Aims: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have assessed the effects of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers in adults with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This meta-analysis provides estimates of the safety and efficacy of treatment with (vs. without) RAS blockers from these trials.

Background: To study the gestational age-specific risk factors and outcomes of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).

Methods: Retrospective cohort study comparing gestational age (GA)-specific clinical data between infants without severe AKI (stage 0/1 AKI) and those with severe AKI (stages 2 and 3 AKI) stratified by GA ≤27 and >27 weeks.

Results: Infants with GA ≤27 weeks had double the rate of severe AKI (46.
