Recent studies have recognized several risk factors for cardiopulmonary bypass‐(CPB‐)
associated acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the lack of early biomarkers for AKI prevents …

The outcome for critically ill patients is burdened by a double mortality rate and a longer
hospital stay in the case of sepsis or septic shock. The adequate use of antibiotics may …

Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication among hospitalized
patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of blood neutrophil gelatinase …

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is routinely diagnosed by creatinine-based guidelines,
which is sub-optimal marker after injury due to renal and non-renal factors. This has …

Objective: We investigated the temporal pattern and predictive value of neutrophil gelatinase–
associated lipocalin for early identification of acute kidney injury in children undergoing …

Cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is important because it remains
common and serious. A major limitation in the management of CSA-AKI has been ongoing …

Background Renal injury is a serious complication after cardiac surgery and therefore, early
detection and much more prediction of postoperative kidney injury is desirable. Neutrophil …

Objective Frequent measurement of creatinine by point-of-care testing (POCT) may facilitate
the earlier detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. However, no robust …

Purpose We assessed the incidence, characteristics, outcomes and associations of small,
short-term point-of-care creatinine increases in critically ill patients. Methods We …

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is routinely diagnosed by creatinine-based
guidelines, which is sub-optimal marker after injury due to renal and non-renal factors. This …
