TLDR
In this article, the relationship between obesity and acute kidney injury (AKI) was investigated in patients with and without obesity in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and mortality.
Abstract
Objectives Obesity is increasingly encountered in the intensive care units (ICUs) but the relationship between obesity and acute kidney injury (AKI) is unclear. We aim to evaluate whether body mass index (BMI) was associated with AKI in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and to examine the association between AKI and mortality in patients with and without obesity.

Inhaled nitric oxide therapy and risk of renal dysfunction: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials

TL;DR: The available data show that iNO therapy may increase the risk of renal dysfunction, especially with prolonged use and in patients with ARDS, and that future trials of iNO should evaluate renal safety.

Pathophysiology and Management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Obese Patients.

TL;DR: A detailed description of the altered respiratory anatomy and physiology of obesity will provide help in selecting an optimal, individually tailored strategy of support in cases in which ARDS is coincident with obesity.

Obesity, acute kidney injury and outcome of critical illness

TL;DR: Whether or not obesity may counterintuitively be protective and associated with better survival of critically ill patients with AKI (“reverse epidemiology”) is a subject for debate and further investigations exploring the role of novel biomarkers and optimal management are needed urgently.

Acute kidney injury in bariatric surgery patients requiring intensive care admission: a state-wide, multicenter, cohort study.

TL;DR: Male gender, premorbid hypertension, higher admission APACHE II scores, and blood transfusions were all associated with AKI, while preexisting chronic kidney disease and body mass index (BMI) appeared not to influence renal decline.

Low, rather than High, Body Mass Index Is a Risk Factor for Acute Kidney Injury in Multiethnic Asian Patients: A Retrospective Observational Study.

TL;DR: Underweight Asian patients are susceptible to AKI in acute hospital settings, and identification of this novel risk factor for AKI allows us to optimise patient care by prevention, early detection, and timely intervention.
