Background And Aims: A catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is a life-threatening complication of hemodialysis. It is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality and a costly long hospital stay. Despite its burden, little is known about the factors associated with it and the antibiogram of its responsible causative bacteria.

Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a systemic complication of an infection with Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing enterohemorrhagic , primarily leading to acute kidney injury (AKI) and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Although free heme has been found to aggravate renal damage in hemolytic diseases, the relevance of the heme-degrading enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1, encoded by ) in HUS has not yet been investigated. We hypothesized that HO-1 also important in acute phase responses in damage and inflammation, contributes to renal pathogenesis in HUS.

Introduction Increasing demand and financial burdens are placing significant strain on current health resources. To help ease pressures, there has been increased emphasis on improving patient flow and saving costs within the health service. Routine postoperative blood tests in otherwise healthy patients may add to delays and healthcare costs without influencing subsequent management.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased in-hospital and short-term hypoglycemia risk. However, the impact of non-recovery of renal function before discharge on hypoglycemia risk in AKI survivors after discharge have not been well studied. We aim to analyze the association between non-recovery of AKI and hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia crisis risk, to identify additional risk factors for hypoglycemia, and to examine the impact of AKI non-recovery on HbA1c variability.

Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH), although a rare type of acquired hemolytic anemia, can be life-threatening if not diagnosed early. Kidney involvement in PNH varies from reversible acute kidney injury to irreversible chronic damage. Here, we report a case of recurrent acute kidney injury in a young male requiring renal replacement support.
