Acute Tubular Necrosis

بررسی ارتباط مشخصات مربوط به بیماری با عوارض بعد از پیوند کلیه

Background and purpose: Kidney transplant is the most cost-effective strategy in treatment of patients with kidney failure. But allograft dysfunction is still discussed as one of the main problems in these patients. The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with the development of complications after kidney transplant. Materials and methods: This correlation- descriptive stud...

Prognosis of Acute Kidney Injury and Hepatorenal Syndrome in Patients with Cirrhosis: A Prospective Cohort Study

Background/Aims. Acute kidney injury is a common problem for patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor survival. We aimed to examine the association between type of acute kidney injury and 90-day mortality. Methods. Prospective cohort study at a major US liver transplant center. A nephrologist's review of the urinary sediment was used in conjunction with the 2007 Ascites Club Criteria...

Necrotic epithelial cells in proximal renal tubules of 2nd trimester fetuses: is this "acute tubular necrosis"?

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to describe the occurrence of necrotic tubular cells in kidneys of non-macerated fetuses. METHODS Description of histology and immunostaining results using C9 immunostain of proximal tubular epithelium of kidneys from 30 consecutive non-macerated fetuses' autopsies. RESULTS the gestational age ranged from 13 to 22 weeks. The mean gestational age was 18.6 wee...

Plasma Renin Activity in Acute Tubular Necrosis and Other Renal Diseases Associated with Hypertension.

Traditional urinary biomarkers in the assessment of hospital-acquired AKI.

Traditional biomarkers, such as urine chemistries and urine microscopic elements, are used in the diagnosis and care of patients with AKI. Urine chemistries, such as fractional excretion of sodium and fractional excretion of urea, are useful for differentiating prerenal AKI from acute tubular necrosis only in select patients. Urine microscopy using a quantitative evaluation of the urine sedimen...
