Background Multi-organ dysfunction in critical illness is common and frequently involves the
lungs and kidneys, often requiring organ support such as invasive mechanical ventilation …

Discoveries have emerged highlighting the complex nature of the interorgan cross-talk
between the kidney and the lung. Vascular rigidity, neurohormonal activation, tissue …

Despite advances in renal replacement therapy, the mortality of acute kidney injury (AKI) has
remained high, especially when associated with distant organ dysfunction such as acute …

The mortality of acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unacceptably high, especially associated
with acute respiratory failure. Lung injury complicated with AKI was previously considered as …

Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are complications often encountered in
the setting of critical illness. Both forms of end-organ injury commonly occur in similar …

Objective: To review the current literature on possible mechanisms by which mechanical
ventilation may initiate or aggravate acute renal failure. Data Source: A Medline database …

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most frequent extra-pulmonary organ failure in
