Prognosis of Patients with Acute Kidney Injury due to Type 1 Cardiorenal Syndrome Receiving Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy.

Introduction: The prognosis of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by type 1 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is unclear. We investigated the in-hospital mortality and prognostic factors in these patients.

Methods: We retrospectively identified 154 consecutive adult patients who received CRRT for AKI caused by type 1 CRS between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2019.

Predictors of long-term prognosis in acute kidney injury survivors who require continuous renal replacement therapy after cardiovascular surgery.

The long-term prognosis of patients with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) after cardiovascular surgery is unclear. We aimed to investigate long-term renal outcomes and survival in these patients to determine the risk factors for negative outcomes. Long-term prognosis was examined in 144 hospital survivors.

Multiple free-radical scavenging capacity in serum.

We have developed a method to determine serum scavenging-capacity profile against multiple free radical species, namely hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, alkoxyl radical, alkylperoxyl radical, alkyl radical, and singlet oxygen. This method was applied to a cohort of chronic kidney disease patients. Each free radical species was produced with a common experimental procedure; i.

Introduction and maintenance program for PD based on PD guidelines for Japan.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) guidelines for Japan were first published by the Japanese Society for Dialysis Treatment in 2009. They presented a concrete frame of PD practiced in Japan and stressed the timing of PD introduction as well as the clinical point of transfer to other modalities. The outlines of the guidelines and the issues to be addressed in the future are reviewed.

[Arteriosclerosis and vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients].

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are belonging to high risk patients to atherosclerosis with vascular calcification. These patients are well recognized advanced arteriosclerosis with vascular medial calcification, with high risk of cardiovascular death. With basic investigated results, the mechanism of vascular calcification is making clear.
