Article Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is frequently used to treat recipients with renal failure before or after liver transplantation (LT), though evidence supporting its use during surgery remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted a quantitative meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of intraoperative continuous renal replacement therapy (IORRT) in recipients with pretransplant severe renal dysfunction. We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane database for trials focusing on LT recipients supported with or without IORRT. Outcomes assessed were mortality, preoperative characteristics, intraoperative data, and predefined postoperative outcomes. Seven trials with 1051 recipients were eligible. Preoperatively, the IORRT group recipients had higher Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores (weighted mean difference [WMD], 6.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.51-9.87), Charlson scores (WMD, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.09-0.80), acute liver failure (odds ratio [OR], 1.82; 95% CI, 1.27-2.61), serum creatinine (WMD, 71.33 μmol/L; 95% CI, 1.98-140.69 μmol/L), total bilirubin level (WMD, 5.05 μmol/L; 95% CI, 1.75-8.35 μmol/L), intensive care unit admission (OR, 3.53; 95% CI, 1.23-10.13), vasoactive therapy (OR, 3.80; 95% CI, 2.64-5.46), ventilator care (OR, 2.52; 95% CI, 1.18-5.35), and renal replacement therapy (RRT) (OR, 29.37; 95% CI, 7.66-112.54) compared with control patients. IORRT patients also required more intraoperative blood product transfusion and had more post-LT RRT (OR, 25.67; 95% CI, 4.92-133.85). However, there were no significant differences in short-term mortality (OR, 2.12; 95% CI, 0.82-5.44) between the groups. In addition, worse longterm mortality was seen in the IORRT group. In conclusion, IORRT is feasible and safe and may help sicker recipients tolerate the LT procedure to achieve short-term clinical outcomes comparable with less ill patients without IORRT. More high-quality evidence is needed to verify our conclusion in the future.

Background: Primary immunoglobulin (Ig)-associated mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (Ig-MCGN) is an immune complex glomerulonephritis of unknown etiology. It is a common cause of chronic kidney disease in developing countries. There is limited data available on renal and patient outcomes of this disease from developing countries.

Background: Snake bite is a well-known occupational hazard amongst farmers, plantation workers, and other outdoor workers and results in much morbidity and mortality throughout the world. The complications related to kidneys are observed in most patients with snake bites admitted to a hospital. The current study aimed to study the renal involvement in patients with snake bites with reference to clinical features and the time of onset of acute renal failure.

Objective: To evaluate the value of respiratory specimens collected via different sampling methods combined with metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the etiological diagnosis of severe pneumonia.
Methods: A total of 117 patients with severe pneumonia between 2019 and 2024 were included in this study, with 60 patients undergoing endotracheal aspiration (ETA) and 57 undergoing bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), respectively. Patient records were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing, reflecting the rising incidence of chronic diseases. With the continuous growth of the global geriatric population, a significant portion of individuals with CKD consists of those aged over 65. Regardless of the chosen treatment method, protein-energy loss in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT) has been associated with elevated morbidity and mortality rates.

Health and racial disparities can limit access to preventative, trauma, and chronic disease care but have not been addressed in burn resuscitation. Over- and under-resuscitation contribute to increased overall hospital costs, and morbidity and mortality rates. The primary objective of this study was to identify potential racial disparities that may exist during the initial fluid resuscitation after burn injury.
