  2. 1. Biomarkers of acute kidney injury

    Author : Johan Mårtensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and potentially fatal complication in critically ill patients. The diagnosis relies on functional markers of decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) such as creatinine. Unfortunately, a rise in plasma creatinine lags behind the early structural changes that occur in response to various renal insults. READ MORE

  4. 2. Platelet reactivity and comorbidities in acute coronary syndrome

    Author : Fredrik Björklund; Thomas Mooe; David Erlinge; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acute coronary syndrome; myocardial infarction; platelet reactivity; platelet aggregation; Inflammation; infection; diabetes mellitus; chronic kidney disease; acute kidney injury; Cardiology; kardiologi;

    Abstract : Background In the event of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the risk of death and complications such as stroke and re-infarction is high during the first month. Diabetes, impaired kidney function, elevated markers of systemic inflammation and high level of platelet reactivity have all been associated with worsened prognosis in ACS patients. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aspects of renal blood flow and oxygenation in acute kidney injury during severe infections

    Author : Tomas Luther; Robert Frithiof; Michael Hultström; Per Liss; Rafael Kawati; Anders Åneman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute kidney injury; renal blood flow; renal oxygenation; COVID-19; fluids; mitochondria; sepsis; acute respiratory distress syndrome; magnetic resonance imaging; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

    Abstract : Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). Severe infections/sepsis is the most common aetiology, and about half of patients treated in the ICU due to sepsis are affected. Although AKI often resolves over time, the development of AKI decreases the chances of surviving. READ MORE

  6. 4. Levosimendan vs. Milrinone: Early Renal and Hemodynamic Outcomes after lnfant Cardiac Surgery

    Author : Elin M. Thorlacius; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac surgery; infants; congenital heart lesions; levosimendan; milrinone; acute kidney injury; myocardial function; biomarkers;

    Abstract : Background: Myocardial and renal dysfunction are common after cardiac surgery in young children, which increases risk of complications and delayed recovery. Inodilators, such as milrinone and levosimendan, are frequently used to reduce the risk of low cardiac output syndrome in infants after cardiac surgery. READ MORE

  7. 5. Occupational heat exposure and kidney disease - Studies on the role of heat stress in the Mesoamerican epidemic of Chronic Kidney Disease of non-traditional origin

    Author : Erik Hansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heat stress; heat strain; chronic kidney disease; acute kidney injury; occupational medicine;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the association between heat stress and kidney disease in Mesoamerica using different perspectives and methods. An ecologic study found that hot, sugarcane-cultivating regions had elevated chronic kidney disease (CKD) mortality. READ MORE
