Acute renal failure - definition, outcome measures, animal models, fluid therapy and information technology needs: the Second International Consensus Conference of the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) Group.
TL;DR: A 2-day consensus conference on acute renal failure (ARF) in critically ill patients was organized by ADQI as discussed by the authors, where the authors sought to review the available evidence, make recommendations and delineate key questions for future studies.

Acute kidney injury
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that patients who have had acute kidney injury are at increased risk of subsequent chronic kidney disease, and new diagnostic techniques (eg, renal biomarkers) might help with early diagnosis.

TL;DR: The major areas of change reflected in the update of the ACC/AHA Guidelines for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery are described in a format that can be read and understood as a stand-alone document.

Hospital-acquired renal insufficiency.
TL;DR: Renal function in 4,622 consecutive patients admitted to the medical and surgical services of an urban tertiary care hospital was followed up prospectively from the time of admission and age and preexisting renal insufficiency were risk factors for HARI.

Prediction of Creatinine Clearance from Serum Creatinine
Donald W. Cockcroft,M H Gault +1 more
TL;DR: A formula has been developed to predict Creatinine clearance from serum creatinine (Scr) in adult males: Ccr = (140 – age) (wt kg)/72 × Scr (mg/100ml) (15% less i).

The Effect of Acute Renal Failure on Mortality: A Cohort Analysis
TL;DR: Renal failure appears to increase the risk of developing severe nonrenal complications that lead to death and should not be regarded as a treatable complication of serious illness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hospital-acquired renal insufficiency: A prospective study
TL;DR: It is concluded that there is a substantial risk of the development of renal failure in hospital and that the mortality rate due to hospital-acquired renal insufficiency remains high.

Preoperative Renal Risk Stratification
Glenn M. Chertow,J M Lazarus,Cindy L. Christiansen,E F Cook,Karl E. Hammermeister,Grover Fl,J Daley +6 more
TL;DR: The risk of ARF after cardiac surgery can be accurately quantified on the basis of readily available preoperative data and may be used by physicians and surgeons to provide patients with improved risk estimates and to target high-risk subgroups for interventions aimed at reducing the risk and ameliorating the consequences of this serious complication.

Prognostic stratification in critically ill patients with acute renal failure requiring dialysis.
TL;DR: This prognostic model appears to identify a substantial fraction of patients for whom dialysis may be of limited or no benefit, which appears to depend largely on comorbid conditions, such as the need for mechanical ventilation and underlying malignancy.
