Impaired renal function due to acute kidney injury (AKI) and/or chronic kidney diseases
(CKD) is frequent in cirrhosis. Recurrent episodes of AKI may occur in end-stage cirrhosis …

Background Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has been identified as an
early biomarker for prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the utility of NGAL to …

Background The lack of a reliable scoring system that predicts the development of septic
shock and death precludes comparison of disease and/or treatment outcomes in animal …

Sepsis has no proven pharmacologic treatment other than appropriate antibiotic agents,
fluids, vasopressors as needed, and possibly corticosteroids. It is generally initiated mainly …

Preeclampsia (PE) is a complex, multisystem disorder that remains a leading cause of
morbidity and mortality in pregnancy. Four main classes of dysregulation accompany PE …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in advanced cirrhosis. Prerenal azotemia, hepatorenal
syndrome, and acute tubular necrosis are the main causes of AKI in patients with cirrhosis …

Purpose Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a useful biomarker for early
diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the diagnostic value of NGAL for predicting …

Neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin (NGAL) is postulated to be a potentially new and
highly specific/sensitive marker of acute kidney injury (AKI). The aim of this study was to …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) during sepsis is common and underestimated. Plasma neutrophil
gelatinase-associated lipocalin (plasma-NGAL) is discussed as new biomarker for AKI …

Sepsis is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and is associated with substantial
morbidity and mortality. Objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of betulinic acid, a …
