Purpose Of Review: In recent years, there has been growing attention to pediatric kidney health, especially pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI). However, there has been limited focus on the role of pediatric AKI on adult kidney health, specifically considerations for the critical care physician.
Recent Findings: We summarize what is known in the field of pediatric AKI to inform adult medical care including factors throughout the early life course, including perinatal, neonatal, and pediatric exposures that impact survivor care later in adulthood.
Summary: The number of pediatric AKI survivors continues to increase, leading to a higher burden of chronic kidney disease and other long-term co-morbidities later in life. Adult medical providers should consider pediatric history and illnesses to inform the care they provide. Such knowledge may help internists, nephrologists, and intensivists alike to improve risk stratification, including a lower threshold for monitoring for AKI and kidney dysfunction in their patients.

: Prone positioning is a standard intervention in managing patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and is known to improve oxygenation. However, its effects on other organs, particularly the kidneys, are less well understood. This study aimed to assess the association between prone positioning and the development of acute kidney injury (AKI), specifically in overweight and obese patients.

This study aimed to investigate whether lymphocyte-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) upon admission can predict disease progression and intensive care unit (ICU) admission in adult patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). A single-center retrospective study was conducted, including adult DKA patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between March 2018 and March 2023. Multiple demographic and clinical data were collected from the medical records upon admission and during hospitalization.

Sex differences exist in acute kidney injury (AKI), and the role that sex and gender play along the AKI care continuum remains unclear. The 33 Acute Disease Quality Initiative meeting evaluated available data on the role of sex and gender in AKI and identified knowledge gaps. Data from experimental models, pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical care, gender, social determinants of health, education, and advocacy were reviewed.

Division of Cell Therapy, Chiba Cancer Center Research Institute, Chiba, Japan.
Cancer cells in the tumour microenvironment use various mechanisms to evade the immune system, particularly T cell attack. For example, metabolic reprogramming in the tumour microenvironment and mitochondrial dysfunction in tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) impair antitumour immune responses. However, detailed mechanisms of such processes remain unclear.
