Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common functional injuries observed in trauma patients. However, certain trauma medications may exacerbate renal injury. Therefore, the early detection of trauma-related AKI holds paramount importance in improving trauma prognosis.

Methods: Qualified datasets were selected from public databases, and common differentially expressed genes related to trauma-induced AKI and hub genes were identified through enrichment analysis and the establishment of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Additionally, the specificity of these hub genes was investigated using the sepsis dataset and conducted a comprehensive literature review to assess their plausibility. The raw data from both datasets were downloaded using R software (version 4.2.1) and processed with the "affy" package19 for correction and normalization.

Results: Our analysis revealed 585 upregulated and 629 downregulated differentially expressed genes in the AKI dataset, along with 586 upregulated and 948 downregulated differentially expressed genes in the trauma dataset. Concurrently, the establishment of the PPI network and subsequent topological analysis highlighted key hub genes, including CD44, CD163, TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1, cytochrome b-245 beta chain, versican, membrane spanning 4-domains A4A, mitogen-activated protein kinase 14, and early growth response 1. Notably, their receiver operating characteristic curves displayed areas exceeding 75%, indicating good diagnostic performance. Moreover, our findings postulated a unique molecular mechanism underlying trauma-related AKI.

Conclusion: This study presents an alternative strategy for the early diagnosis and treatment of trauma-related AKI, based on the identification of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Additionally, this study provides theoretical references for elucidating the mechanisms of trauma-related AKI.

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), defined by thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and organ injury, is not widely recognized as being trauma-related. This study aimed to describe the clinical features and outcomes of trauma-induced TMA (t-TMA) to assist in early diagnosis and management. A retrospective review was conducted on 30 trauma patients diagnosed with t-TMA between 2014 and 2019.

Failure to rescue following emergency general surgery: A national analysis.

Department of Surgery, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Background: Failure to rescue (FTR) is increasingly recognized as a quality metric but remains understudied in emergency general surgery (EGS). We sought to identify patient and operative factors associated with FTR to better inform standardized metrics to mitigate this potentially preventable event.

Methods: All adult (≥18 years) non-elective hospitalizations for large bowel resection, small bowel resection, repair of perforated ulcer, laparotomy and lysis of adhesions were identified in the 2016-2020 National Readmissions Database.

Article Synopsis
  • * It found that the overall prevalence of trauma-related AKI in the pediatric population was approximately 9.86%, with specific rates varying based on the type of trauma, including 0% for exertional rhabdomyolysis and 24.60% for earthquake-related injuries.
  • * Importantly, the study indicated that children with trauma-related AKI faced a significantly higher risk of mortality, about 5.5 times greater, but noted the need for caution in interpreting these results due to potential confounding factors that were not addressed in the studies reviewed

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication of rhabdomyolysis. The pathophysiology of rhabdomyolysis-associated AKI is complex, but myoglobin related damage plays a major role. Extracorporeal removal of myoglobin is therefore an appealing target to prevent AKI, however, attempts to remove myoglobin with standard dialysis membranes have so far been disappointing.
