Background: To evaluate fluid balance, biomarkers of renal function and its relation to mortality in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosed before, or within 24 h of intensive care unit admission.
Methods: A prospective cohort study considered 773 critically ill patients observed over six years. Pre-intensive care unit-onset AKI was defined as AKI diagnosed before, or within 24 h of intensive care unit admission. Body weight-adjusted fluid balance and fluid balance-adjusted biomarkers of renal function were measured daily for the first three days of intensive care unit admission. Primary outcome was mortality in the intensive care unit.
Results: Prevalence of pre-intensive care unit-onset AKI was 55.1%, of which 55.6% of cases were hospital-acquired and 44.4% were community-acquired. Fluid balance was higher in AKI patients than in non-AKI patients (p < 0.001) and had a negative correlation with urine output (p < 0.01). Positive fluid balance and biomarkers of renal function were independently related to mortality. Multivariate analysis identified the following AKI-related variables associated with increased mortality: (1) In AKI patients: type 1 cardiorenal syndrome (OR 2.00), intra-abdominal hypertension (OR 1.71), AKI stage 3 (OR 2.15) and increase in AKI stage (OR 4.99); 2) In patients with community-acquired AKI: type 1 cardiorenal syndrome (OR 5.16), AKI stage 2 (OR 2.72), AKI stage 3 (OR 4.95) and renal replacement therapy (OR 3.05); and 3) In patients with hospital-acquired AKI: intra-abdominal hypertension (OR 2.31) and increase in AKI stage (OR 4.51).
Conclusions: In patients with pre-intensive care unit-onset AKI, positive fluid balance is associated with worse renal outcomes. Positive fluid balance and decline in biomarkers of renal function are related to increased mortality, thus in this subpopulation of critically ill patients, positive fluid balance is not recommended and renal function must be closely monitored.

Application of clinician support tools to improve wound healing outcomes and simplify treatment selection for effective exudate management.
Wounds
December 2024
Smith+Nephew, Watford, Hertfordshire, UK.
Background: Achievement of moisture balance can be a critical factor affecting time to closure of nonhealing wounds, and dry wounds can take much longer to heal than those with high exudate levels. Whether the goal of management is to donate moisture to the wound or control excessive fluid until the cause has been identified and addressed, choice of dressing and other wound management products can affect nursing resources, clinical outcomes, concordance, and quality of life for the patient.
Case Reports: The cases discussed illustrate differences in management approaches for dry and wet wounds and show how clinician support tools (eg, tissue type, infection/inflammation, moisture imbalance, epithelial edge advancement [TIME] clinical decision support tool) can facilitate treatment decisions.
Background: Implementation of Alzheimer disease blood-based biomarkers (AD BBBs) in the clinical laboratory requires careful evaluation of test performance and selection of interpretative cut-points to prevent patient misclassification that may lead to further evaluation, misdiagnosis, and/or potentially unnecessary treatment.
Method: Participants with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia (n = 427) and with an EDTA-plasma sample available within 6 months of amyloid-PET imaging were selected through the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging and the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Disease Research Center in Rochester, Minnesota. Amyloid-PET was performed with C-Pittsburg Compound B; abnormal amyloid (A+) was defined as Centiloid ≥25 (SUVR≥1.

Department of Intensive Care, Austin Hospital, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Background: Severe intensive care unit-acquired hypernatraemia (ICU-AH) is a serious complication of critical illness. However, there is no detailed information on how this condition develops.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to study the prevalence, risk factors, trajectory, management, and outcome of severe ICU-AH (≥155 mmol·L).
Continuous frusemide infusion versus intermittent bolus therapy in paediatric intensive care: A single centre retrospective study.
Crit Care Resusc
December 2024
Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Objective: Frusemide is a common diuretic administered to critically ill children intravenously, by either continuous infusion (CI) or intermittent bolus (IB). We aim to describe the characteristics of children who receive intravenous frusemide, patterns of use, and incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI), and to investigate factors associated with commencing CI.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
Measuring fluid balance in end-stage renal disease with a wearable bioimpedance sensor.
BMC Nephrol

Department of Internal Medicine, Levanger Hospital, Nord-Trøndelag Health Trust, Levanger, Norway.
Background: Accurate assessment of fluid volume and hydration status is essential in many disease states, including patients with chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of a wearable continuous bioimpedance sensor to detect changes in fluid volume in patients undergoing regular hemodialysis (HD).
Methods: 31 patients with end-stage renal disease were enrolled and monitored with a sensor patch (Re:Balans) on the upper back through two consecutive HD sessions and the interdialytic period between.
