The CIAKI,as the third complication of PCI, was associated with adverse cardiac events after procedure. Moreover, because the rate of periprocedure hydration is inadequate in STEMI patients before primary PCI, the incidence of CIAKI is higher significantly in these patients. The cardiovascular pleiotropic effects of statins in addition to lipid have been widely concerned. The previous studies demonstrated usage of statin in periprocedure could decrease the risk of CIAKI. Compared with hydration, the usage of statin to prevention CIAKI show the advantages in clinical practice, for example，there is no need to consider the cardiac function.The optimal strategies for preventting CIAKI in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI needed further studies to explore. What's more, whether a synergistic effect of hydration and statin or not is unknown.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous sodium nitrite compared with placebo in reducing the occurrence of CSA-AK as diagnosed by KDIGO criteria during the first 72 hrs after cardiac surgery in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Secondary objectives are to determine whether IV sodium nitrite achieves adequate pharmacokinetics (PK) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with the use of CPB.
Adequate dosing of antiinfective therapy in critically ill patients with impaired or lost renal function or continuous renal replacement therapy is nearly impossible without measuring the drug concentration in blood samples. In many hospitals that is still not an option. The investigators aim to show, that computer based calculation can avoid over- or under-dosing.
The goal of this study is to determine whether or not exposure to blue spectrum light reduces acute kidney injury and systemic inflammation in subjects undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Subjects scheduled to undergo cardiopulmonary bypass surgery will be exposed to either bright (1000 lux) blue spectrum (480nm) light or to ambient, white fluorescent light for a 24 hour photoperiod the day prior to surgery and for a 24 hour photoperiod in the immediate postoperative period.
Sepsis is the most common cause of childhood death worldwide. Millions of children survive, but are left with impaired health. Sepsis-related Acute Kidney Injury (sAKI) is increasingly recognized as a significant factor associated with long-term mortality among different patient populations. Renal dysfunction and subsequent chronic kidney disease is implicated in the development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The investigators overall hypothesis is that, in the pediatric population, sepsis-related AKI will have unrecognized, long-term consequences with regard to kidney function, endothelial function, blood pressure control, and overall health.

Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) refers to increased mortality and morbidity in patients after non-cardiac surgery. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO)-guidelines recommend a bundle of procedures to prevent the occurrence of AKI: A protocol for the improvement of the hemodynamic situation and a standardized proceeding in hemodynamic monitoring, consequent avoidance of nephrotoxic substances, regular measurement of creatinine and urine output, as well as normoglycemia. The primary goal is to determine if the consequent application of the KDIGO-bundle leads to a prevention of the occurrence of AKI in patients at risk after non-cardiac surgery.

NephroCheck is measuring the concentration of a certain protein combination in the urine of patients. In elevated values there is a probability of renal failure (already proven in intensive care patients). The investigators would like to investigate whether the investigators can predict renal failure in patients receiving contrast enhanced CT's in the emergency department. That would lead to an earlier nephrologist consult in those patients.
