Measuring biomarkers of acute kidney injury during renal replacement therapy: wisdom or folly?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Early data are now appearing relating to the measurement of biomarkers of acute kidney injury during renal replacement therapy. These data go some way in describing the clearance of these molecules during renal support. Understanding the potential clearance, or otherwise, of these proteins may lead to directing our therapies in the future particularly with regard to cessation of renal support. We describe a recent study which has provided data that may aid in addressing this issue.

The role of hormones in renal disease and ischemia-reperfusion injury
The patients with renal diseases, especially end-stage renal disease (ESRD), are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disturbances. Some hormones such as brain natriuretic peptide appear to be important serum biomarkers in predicting cardiac death in ESRD patients. Renal diseases cause inflammation, anemia, uremic toxins, fluid overload, and electrolyte disturbance. Kidney transplantation ...
متن کاملAssessment of acute kidney injury by urinary β2-MG and NAG in pediatric cancer patients prescribed with Cisplatin, Carboplatin, and Ifosfamide as the chemotherapeutic agents
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a failure in renal function leading to insufficiency of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Thus, sensitive biomarkers of renal tubular injury are needed to detect AKI earlier. In this study, urinary beta 2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were evaluated for AKI prognosis/diagnosis in pediatric patients suffe...
متن کاملTiming of renal replacement therapy in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Timing of renal replacement therapy in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury is highly subjective, and may influence outcome. We discuss renal and nonrenal criteria for timing considering the recent literature. RECENT FINDINGS Two randomized and four nonrandomized controlled trials investigated the effects of timing on patient outcome. All but one randomized contr...
متن کاملClinical review: Timing of renal replacement therapy
Acute kidney injury is common in intensive care patients and continuous renal replacement therapy is the preferred treatment for this in most centres. Although these techniques have been adopted internationally, there remains significant variation with regard to their clinical application. This is particularly pertinent when one considers that the fundamental questions regarding any treatment, ...
متن کاملPlasma NGAL predicts early acute kidney injury no earlier than s-creatinine or cystatin C in severely burned patients.
INTRODUCTION Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a novel biomarker used in acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnostics. Studies on burn patients have highlighted it as a promising biomarker for early detection of AKI. This study was designed to discover whether plasma NGAL is as a biomarker superior to serum creatinine and cystatin C in detecting AKI in severely burned patients. ME...
