We are presenting a case of a 55-year-old Caucasian female who presented with acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis. Her native kidney biopsy showed extensive crystals in both the cortex and medulla, morphologically consistent with calcium oxalate crystals. The etiology was attributed to vitamin C-induced kidney hyperoxaluria. She has remained hemodialysis dependent for more than three months since the initial presentation, establishing a diagnosis of end-stage kidney disease.

Department of Pediatrics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, India.
Objectives: To evaluate the predictive ability of furosemide stress test (FST), serum and urine cystatin-C in identifying progressive acute kidney injury (AKI) and the need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT).
Methods: Children aged one month to 18 y admitted in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with Kidney Diseases Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stage-1/2 AKI were enrolled. FST and serum and urine cystatin-C levels were performed and analyzed.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical sub-phenotype (SP) of pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI) and their association with clinical outcomes.
Methods: General status and initial values of laboratory markers within 24 hours after admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) were recorded for children with AKI in the derivation cohort (=650) and the validation cohort (=177). In the derivation cohort, a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to identify death-related indicators, and a two-step cluster analysis was employed to obtain the clinical SP of AKI.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is driven by the severity of systemic inflammation, acute portal hypertension driving circulatory dysfunction, hyperbilirubinemia, and toxicity of bile acids. The spectrum is mostly structural, associated with reduced response to vasoconstrictors. The progression is rapid and need of renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal therapies may be required for the management.
