Even as record numbers of deceased donors are undergoing organ recovery, the global transplant community continues to struggle with a shortage of donor organs and a high organ discard rate. Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in many hospitalized patients, including up to 25% of patients in critical condition. Registry studies have shown a significant increase in nonrecovery or organ discard rates in AKI donors, despite most studies reporting similar clinical outcomes compared with non-AKI donors. This review aims to capture the salient information learned from these studies and to summarize the efforts that have been made to gain a more granular understanding of how kidneys from donors with AKI behave posttransplant. In particular, we reviewed the studies that analyzed the clinical outcomes in different stages of AKI and AKI in marginal donors, such as kidney donor profile index of >85%, older donors, and donation after circulatory death donors. We summarized studies investigating molecular biomarkers, transcriptomics, and possible future therapeutic targets for postdonation AKI.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play essential roles in both physiological and pathological processes. Under physiological conditions, appropriate amounts of ROS play an important role in signaling and regulation in cells. However, too much ROS can lead to many health problems, including inflammation, cancer, delayed wound healing, neurodegenerative diseases (such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease), and autoimmune diseases, and oxidative stress from excess ROS is also one of the most critical factors in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases such as atherosclerosis.

This paper conducted a bibliometric study on PTDM related literature to explore the risk factors of diabetes after kidney transplantation, as well as the current status, hotspots and development trends of PTDM research, so as to provide reference for researchers in related fields.
Methods: We searched the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database for PTDM literature from January 1, 1990, to August 20, 2023, and used VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package 'bibliometrix' to do bibliometric analysis.

Introduction: Sepsis is an uncontrolled systemic response to infection that leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction. The in-hospital mortality rate remains significantly high in septic shock patients with malignancies. This study investigates whether early and high-volume administration of sodium bicarbonate during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can reduce 28-day mortality, increase shock reversal rates, and shorten the duration of CRRT, mechanical ventilation, and intensive care unit (ICU) stays.

Background: The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) increases after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). This study aimed to characterize the risk factors of AKI after SAVR.
Methods And Results: We conducted a retrospective registry study based on data from 299 consecutive patients undergoing SAVR.
