Acute kidney injury (AKI), especially if recurring, represents a risk factor for future chronic
kidney disease. In intensive care units, increased intra-abdominal pressure is well …

An increased intraabdominal pressure, particularly when occurring during periods of
hemodynamic instability or fluid overload, is regarded as a major contributor to acute kidney …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the
intensive care medicine today. Its pathophysiology and progress to chronic kidney disease …

Both preclinical and clinical studies indicate that raised intra-abdominal pressure (IAP)
associated with pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgical procedures can cause …

Introduction Pneumoperitoneum-associated ischemia–reperfusion (IR) may initiate renal
dysfunction. Whether oxidants are responsible for renal structural damage, such as cell …

Elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) occurs in many clinical settings, including sepsis,
severe acute pancreatitis, acute decompensated heart failure, hepatorenal syndrome …

Introduction Pneumoperitoneum is associated with a well-described decrease in renal blood
flow, but it remains unclear whether a decrease in cardiac preload is responsible. Our aim …

OBJECTIVES: To determine the correlation between the renal blood flow (RBF) and tissue
oxygenation (PO2) at varying intra-abdominal pressures (IAPs) and to compare the effects …

The increasing incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is approaching epidemic status
worldwide. Moreover, AKI-associated mortality remains high. More people die with AKI than …

Background Physiologic renal changes associated with pneumoperitoneum (PNP) have
been described and various underlying mechanisms have been suggested. We investigated …
