Kidney dysfunction is common among liver transplant candidates with decompensated cirrhosis and has a major impact on pre- and post-liver transplant survival. Updated definitions of acute kidney injury and criteria for the diagnosis of hepatorenal syndrome allow for early recognition and intervention, including early initiation of vasoconstrictor therapy for hepatorenal syndrome. The rise of the metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as a cause of cirrhosis has coincided with an increase in intrinsic chronic kidney disease recognized in transplant candidates and recipients. Ultimately, the ability to accurately assess kidney function and associated risk is essential to decision-making in the context of transplantation, including selection of candidates for simultaneous liver and kidney transplantation.

Background: Lately, numerous researches have portrayed stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is predominantly connected with short-term adverse prognosis among individuals who have acute coronary syndrome. Nevertheless, the relation of SHR with prolonged effects and the value of SHR in predicting in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with or lacking chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain unclear. The present study was designed to elucidate the relation of SHR with prolonged prognosis and the value of SHR in predicting the long-term all-cause and cardiovascular death of CAD patients with CKD or non-CKD.

Objective: To characterize early physiologic stresses imposed by surgery by applying metabolomic analyses to deeply phenotype pre- and postoperative plasma and urine of patients undergoing elective surgical procedures.
Background: Patients experience perioperative stress through depletion of metabolic fuels. Bowel stasis or injury might allow more microbiome-derived uremic toxins to enter the blood, while the liver and kidney are simultaneously clearing analgesic and anesthetic drugs.
A novel mouse model of image-guided radiation-induced acute kidney injury using SARRP.

Radiation therapy is crucial for cancer treatment, but it often causes tissue damage. The kidney, which is sensitive to radiation, is under-researched in this context. This study aimed to develop a mouse model for radiation-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) using a small animal radiation research platform (SARRP) to mimic clinical radiation conditions.

Minamata disease, a severe neurological disorder identified in Japan in 1956, results from methylmercury (MeHg) intoxication in humans due to environmental contamination. Before MeHg was recognized as the cause, selenium (Se) was suspected of being the potential cause owing to elevated Se levels in patients' organs. Subsequent animal studies indicated that Se mitigates MeHg toxicity; however, its role in Minamata disease remains unexplored.
