    Abstract : Renal hypoxia has been recognized as a common feature of acute and chronic kidney injury arising from varying etiologies. It has also been proposed to provide a driving mechanism for the transition from acute to chronic kidney disease (CKD). READ MORE

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. Acute kidney injury, outcome studies

    Author : Max Bell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex syndrome for which no effective treatment exists, and our understanding of this condition is limited. If the acute kidney injury is severe enough to require renal replacement therapy, mortality rates at six months are around 60%. READ MORE
