TL;DR: The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of AoC kidney dysfunction and its role in the progression toward ESKD are described and the continuum of care for CKD/ESKD patients from maintenance hemodialysis/peritoneal dialysis to acute renal replacement therapy performed in ICU and, vice-versa, for AoC patients who develop ESKK.

TL;DR: This Consensus Statement from the Acute Disease Quality Initiative provides recommendations for the diagnosis, prevention and management of COVID-19 AKI and for areas of future research, with the aim of improving understanding of the underlying processes and outcomes for patients with CO VID- 19 AKI.

TL;DR: In this article, the apical side of endothelial cells is the site for the glycocalyx, which is a complex network of macromolecules, including cell-bound proteoglycans and sialoproteins.

TL;DR: Although it seems plausible that a timely initiation of RRT may be associated with improved renal and nonrenal outcomes in patients with acute kidney injury, there is scarce evidence in literature to exactly identify the most adequate onset timing for RRT.

TL;DR: Physicians should be aware of the possibility that IBP can be inaccurate in a consistent number of patients due to underdamping/resonance phenomena and NIBP measurement may help to confirm/exclude the presence of this artifact avoiding inappropriate treatments.
