Acute Kidney Injury and Chronic Kidney Disease

Acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease.

Yin and Yang: acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease.

establish ultrasonographic criteria in patients who have unknown genotype and are at risk for ADPKD. Moreover, the results demonstrate that the diagnostic criteria currently in use for PKD1 may be inaccurate when applied to PKD2 because of higher risks for false-negative results yielding a reduced sensitivity for individuals aged 15 to 59. In summary, the authors propose new ultrasound diagnost...

Acute kidney injury: gateway to chronic kidney disease.

This review examines the evidence linking acute kidney injury (AKI) with the risk of subsequently developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). The discussion focuses on subjects that recover from an episode of AKI, most of whom do not receive follow-up nephrology care. Many recent studies have shown a strong association between AKI and the risk of developing CKD. Preclinical models provide evidence...

Acute Kidney Injury: Tubular Markers and Risk for Chronic Kidney Disease and End-Stage Kidney Failure.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome directly related to patient short-term and long-term morbidity and mortality. Over the last decade, the occurrence rate of AKI has been increasing, and there has also been a growing epidemic of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) linked to severe and repeated episodes of AKIs. The detection and management of A...
