1. Intrarenal oxygen homeostasis in acute and chronic kidney disease
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

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

3. Cardiac surgery and the kidney - studies on the effects of pharmacological interventions on renal perfusion, filtration and oxygenation
Abstract : Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly complicates cardiac surgery and is associated with high mortality. Renal ischemia is considered to be the major cause. There is a close association between glomerular filtration rate (GFR), tubular sodium reabsorption and renal oxygen consumption (RVO2) in humans. READ MORE

4. Prevention and treatment of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery
Abstract : Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently after cardiac surgery and is independently associated with increased mortality. The main cause of AKI in these patients is renal ischemia. READ MORE

5. Assessment of Renal Physiology Using Functional MRI
Abstract : Kidney injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, leading to substantial individual suffering and to a heavy financial burden for the society. A large number of common conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune diseases and infections are highly associated with kidney injury. READ MORE
