Filter by:Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), more than 100,000 patients have died in the United Kingdom. Acute kidney injury is common in critically ill patients with COVID-19. It is associated with a high risk of dying. At present, it is not clear how to prevent or treat kidney failure in these patients. Recent research has shown that the coronavirus can directly infect kidney issue. It uses a particular protein on the cell surface (the ACE2 receptor) for entry into cells. Entry into cells is easier if the blood is more acidic. The aim of this project is to find out whether urinary alkalisation using intravenous bicarbonate is feasible and can reduce the risk of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients with COVID-19.
The mortality in patients with sepsis and severe acute kidney injury requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) remains high. Antibiotic therapy is a key treatment of these patients and in recent years new antibiotics have been licensed. However, data is lacking to determine the optimal dosing regimens of these antibiotics for high (Australia and other countries) and low intensity (Japan) of CRRT. Aim To establish the appropriate dosing regimens of newly available antibiotics during CRRT can applied globally.
Aim of the study is to determinate the frequency of acute renal failure in COVID-19 patients, its relationship with the severity of COVID-19 disease in ICU, and the ability to take precautions against these factors.
Covid-19 is an important human and animal pathogen, it mostly causes respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. Clinical features range from a common cold to severe diseases such as severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, bronchitis, pneumonia, multi-organ failure, and even death. It seems to be less commonly affecting children and to cause fewer symptoms and less severe disease in this age group compared with adults. Clinicians have observed many extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19, as hematologic, cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary, endocrinologic, neurologic, ophthalmologic, and dermatologic systems can all be affected. This retrospective study that will be conducted at Hamad General Hospital in Qatar, aims to determine the renal involvement in all pediatric patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 from March 1, 2020, to January 1, 2021.
The objective of this sample collection study is to collect urine samples to validate the NEPHROCLEAR™ CCL14 Test in patients with KDIGO stage 2 or 3 AKI. This study is observational and will have no impact on the medical management of the subject.
This study aims to compare the volume management methods performed by using conventional method and PVI monitoring in intraoperative fluid treatment during bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and total hysterectomy operation.
Esophagectomy serves as an exemplar of major operative trauma, with well-known risk of pulmonary, cardiac, anastomotic, and septic complications and the presence of postoperative complications after esophagectomies for cancer is associated with a reduced long-term survival. There is a paucity in the literature regarding postoperative renal outcomes after esophageal surgery, with a wide range of incidence. The investigators will conduct a historical cohort study aiming to evaluate the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing elective esophageal cancer surgery. Secondary, the investigators will assess the progression of the acute injury and the association with adverse pulmonary, cardiac, anastomotic, and septic events, as well as increase in hospital stay and mortality. The investigators will also identify risk factors associated with acute kidney injury occurrence.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is classically described as an abrupt or rapidly reversible reduction in the excretion of nitrogenous waste products, including urea, nitrogen and creatinine. Acute kidney injury definition emphasizes on the filtration function of the kidney, a measure that is unique and easily and routinely measured . Acute kidney injury is associated with significantly increased resource utilization and health care costs. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after non cardiac surgery are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The reported incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction (POMI) among patients undergoing non cardiac surgery is between 3% and 6%.
The objective of this study was to assess the changes in thyroid hormones and its activity during CRRT in patients with Acute Kidney Injury.
This study will investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing EVAR under general anesthesia
