Plasma microRNA-21 for the early prediction of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing major cardiac surgery

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication after major cardiac surgery that is associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality. MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) has been described as an early biomarker ... Thoracic Surgeons risk score (STS) score for mortality, morbidity and renal failure, had more often had prior cardiac surgery and had a longer duration of ECC. The relative amount of miR-21 measured at

Risk prediction models for acute kidney injury following major noncardiac surgery: systematic review

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of major noncardiac surgery. Risk prediction models for AKI following noncardiac surgery may be useful for identifying high-risk patients to target ... of Alberta Correspondence and offprint requests to: Matthew T.

Therefore, there is a reasonable possibility that the improvement of kidney function after bariatric surgery may, in part, be related to the reduction in renal venous ... pressure. Studies will have to be performed to determine whether bariatric surgery can help stabilize renal function once injury is detected. This will require intervention early in the disease process

Bariatric surgery for diabetic nephropathy

bariatric surgery may, in part, be related to the reduction in renal venous pressure. Studies will have to be performed to determine whether bariatric surgery can help stabilize renal function once injury is ... detected. This will require intervention early in the disease process, even for those patients who do not meet the current criteria for bariatric surgery. Conceptual adjustments will have to be made, as the

It is a non-glutaraldehyde fixed acellular collagen and elastin matrix conduit that may withstand arterial pressures

When is a meta-analysis conclusive? A guide to Trial Sequential Analysis with an example of remote ischemic preconditioning for renoprotection in patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Comparison and clinical suitability of eight prediction models for cardiac surgery-related acute kidney injury

Cardiac surgery-related acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) results in increased morbidity and mortality. Different models have been developed to identify patients at risk of CS-AKI. While models that ... consecutive adult cardiac surgery patients operated with cardiopulmonary bypass, risk scores of eight prediction models were calculated. Four models were only applicable to a subgroup of patients. The area
