Background: Albumin is recommended in the management of patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) to reduce rates of renal injury and mortality. Current guideline recommendations suggest an intravenous albumin dosing regimen of 1.5 g/kg on day 1 and 1 g/kg on day 3, although a maximum dosing strategy is not well-defined.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in renal injury for patients with SBP treated with a capped dose less than or equal to 100 g vs a weight-based dose greater than 100 g.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted at a single academic medical center for patients with a diagnosis of cirrhosis treated with albumin for SBP. The primary outcome examined rates of acute renal injury at 5 days between patients treated with capped dose vs weight-based doses of intravenous albumin. Secondary outcomes included resolution of SBP by day 5, death by day 5, death by day 30, and change in serum creatinine from day 0 to day 5.
Results: In total, 258 patient encounters were analyzed, with 154 included in this study. There were 70 encounters encompassing the capped dose and 84 in the non-capped. Acute renal injury at day 5 was observed in 10% (n = 7) of the capped dosed group and 6% (n = 5) of the non-capped group ( = 0.381).
Conclusion And Relevance: This study did not show a significant difference in outcomes associated with a capped albumin dose at 100 g for SBP. Application of these data may aid in reducing health system and patient costs.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in the Treatment of Acute Elemental Mercury Inhalation Toxicity.
Chest

Northwell Health Division of Medical Toxicology, North Shore University Hospital, Manhasset, NY.
Inhalation of elemental mercury is a rare cause of ARDS, with limited published case reports to provide guidance regarding disease progression and management. Although extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used to treat toxin-induced lung injury, its application to initial treatment and long-term recovery for inhalation of mercury remains undescribed. We present a case of a 56-year-old man who works at a thermometer factory presenting with severe ARDS secondary to inhaled elemental mercury with confirmatory blood and urine mercury levels.

Objectives: Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mass and damaged bone microstructure, often leading to fragility fractures. Low bone mineral density is a key risk factor for fractures. Serum cystatin C (CysC), an endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate, is negatively correlated with bone mineral density and may be a potential risk factor for osteoporosis.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) lacks a definitive therapeutic approach beyond supportive care. One significant pathological mechanism involves the regulated death of tubular epithelial cells; however, the regulatory mechanisms underlying this cell death pathway require further investigation. The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, recognized as the most prevalent modification in eukaryotes, plays a critical role in the regulatory processes associated with AKI.

Maternal exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) during pregnancy and lactation has been linked to adverse effects on offspring kidney development, with sex-specific outcomes. This study investigated the impact of maternal PS-NPs exposure on kidney weight, histology, transcriptomics, and functional pathways in offspring mice. Offspring exposed to PS-NPs exhibited significantly lower body weight (P < 0.

Compartment syndrome is an orthopaedic emergency with moderate-to-severe sequela (pain, muscle contracture, nerve damage, infection, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, etc.) if inadequately treated and can be difficult to diagnose in a timely fashion. Further complicating timely diagnosis are atypical presentations resulting in compartment syndrome.
