The incidence, risk factors and prognostic implications of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing redo cardiac surgery are still poorly defined. We prospectively collected data on 394 consecutive redo patients between January 2011 and October 2020. Patients were divided into groups according to the occurrence of different degrees of postoperative AKI (No AKI vs. Any AKI; No AKI-AKI 1 vs. AKI 2-3). The relationship between AKI and other major complications was also investigated. Postoperatively, AKI 1 occurred in 124 (31.5%), AKI 2 in 36 (9.1%) and AKI 3 in 64 (16.2%). Higher KDIGO classes were associated with increased in-hospital mortality: 5.3% among patients with no postoperative AKI and 8.9%, 13.9% and 64.1% in patients with AKI 1, 2 and 3, respectively (p < 0.001). Age, baseline hemoglobin, comorbidity, EuroSCORE II, operative time and transfusion during CPB proved to be significantly associated to the occurrence of AKI. Our study confirms the burden and prognostic role of AKI in a large, all comers, single center database of redo cardiac procedures.

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of vancomycin change during HD, increasing the risk of subtherapeutic concentrations. The aim of this study was to evaluate during and after the conventional and prolonged hemodialysis sessions to identify the possible risk of the patient remaining without adequate antimicrobial coverage during therapy. Randomized, non-blind clinical trial, including critically ill adults with septic AKI on conventional (4 h) and prolonged HD (6 and 10 h) and using vancomycin for at least 72 h.

Introduction: Tacrolimus-induced thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) causing acute kidney injury (AKI) without systemic features is a rare entity, particularly after non-renal solid organ transplantation.
Case Report: We describe the case of a patient with AKI after combined heart and lung transplantation. Renal biopsy revealed acute thrombotic microangiopathy which ultimately prompted initiation of eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeted against complement C5, with subsequent recovery in renal function.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the integrity of the repaired rotator cuff between 1 and 2 years postoperatively after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), investigate the factors affecting its change, and assess the association between the change and postoperative clinical outcomes.
Methods: Rotator cuff tear patients who underwent ARCR and were evaluated by MRI before surgery, and 1 and 2 years after ARCR with a minimum of 2-year follow-up were included in this study. Repair integrity was evaluated using Sugaya's classification, and according to the classification types IV and V were defined as re-tears.

Long non-coding RNA TMC3-AS1 is identified to be upregulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in inflammatory disease, but its role in acute kidney injury (AKI) is almost unknown. The study investigated the involvement of TMC3-AS1 in LPS-induced AKI and its downstream molecular regulatory mechanism. Our data suggested that knocking down TMC3-AS1 significantly reduced renal dysfunction, tissue inflammation and tissue damage in LPS-induced mice, and promoted cell viability, inhibited inflammation, apoptosis and necrosis in LPS-stimulated human renal tubular epithelial cells HK2.

Background: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) following pediatric liver transplantation (PLT) have not been comprehensively studied. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between AKI and both 1-year CKD and mortality.
Methods: This retrospective study included 132 children aged between 3 months and 12 years who underwent PLT between 2017 and 2021.
